Today, my assistant manager was arguing with a customer. I interjected letting the customer know that "we want everything to be copacetic." After the customer left, I received a write up for using "big words." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, we had an extremely rude customer who started cussing at us, and my coworker started cussing back. I jumped on the register to quickly bring down the line, and apologized to everyone for the scene. A secret shopper was in the line and claimed that I was rude. I got written up. FML
Today, I was working when I delivered the standard "Hello, how are you?" to a customer. He took the opportunity to tell me about his deceased wife, his estranged children, and his anal tearing. After a while, I tried to help someone else, and he complained to my manager. I was written up. FML
Today, I had to call a coworker to the office via the store intercom. The damn thing didn't turn off properly and everyone heard me say, "I hate that asshole. Just be where your dumb ass should be." I realized my mistake a few seconds before my manager stormed in and threatened to fire me. FML
Today, I got written up by my line manager for being too friendly to customers. I work in retail, my job is to be friendly. FML
Today, my boss came around to my way of thinking. He called our customers a "bunch of assholes" and to kick them out if they gave me trouble. When a lady began yelling at me for "setting the damn prices too high" I told her to leave. My boss soon bitched me out for being unprofessional. FML
Today, my supervisor was in a leadership meeting pulling random calls for quality. Mine was chosen. He got excited and told them my stats and how I put him to shame with how I drive my team, that I'm the best and this call is going to be amazing. I was then written up for arguing with a customer. FML
Today, at work a lady asked for a burrito, large coke, and hot sauce. While repeating back the order, the words got stuck and I accidentally said large cock. I got written up for being inappropriate. FML
Today, my boss reprimanded me for a huge screw-up that he was responsible for. FML
Today, I got written up for insulting a customer last week, who then rang up to complain about my bad attitude. I was on vacation all last week. My boss doesn't believe me. FML
Today, a customer yelled at me so furiously that she sprayed my face with spittle. I had to stand there, smiling and politely explaining that I needed to see a receipt before I could give her a refund. When she finally gave up and left, my boss bitched me out for "provoking the customer". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It sounds like your asst. manager needs to head back to grammar school. What a lame fool. YOU weren't the one arguing with the customers! Your manager might want to know that.

maybe the assistant manager felt that you embarrassed him/her with your "big word"

I suppose it's not a great idea to intervene when a superior is clearly that insecure.

I would probably go past the assistant manager, to the general manager...maybe get a second opinion on that bogus write up.

You really shouldn't be throwing around big words when working with costumers.. Costumers generally aren't that smart so they'll feel offended if you come off as an elitist. Dumb it down a little for the costumers as well as your assistant manager guy.

A costumer is someone who makes costumes.

yeah! Those dang people that walk around in costumes are just so stupid. They won't comprehend anything that the average literate person says.

Dudes, I switched the 'u' and 'o', big deal.. With auto-correct errors these days, I should be excused for this mistake.

Costumers?! Sounds like a fun group to party with, depending on what they dress up like. But you are right, they're probably not good with big words.

I love how many grammar Nazi wankers this FML is attracting. it was so ******* obvious what he met yet three of you had to make the same SHIT comment. none of you actually made a comment or reply with any relevance whatsoever. go and die.

OP, are you the manager and the other guy is your assistant, or is he your boss?

unless you are the manager(or something similar to what your assistant is), you should not have butt in to the argument... not your job...

You should have just let your manger handle it. This could have been prevented if you mind your own business.

Ooops silly mistake :)

sweet person I really think you should talk to your boss and see what the freak he has to say about the situation ! p.s always tell someone in a troubled case! no matter what it is, before you make any decision! always great to have a second opinion! before doing something that you might regret.
