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

Ydi, wonder how many sales you get in a month. You do wasn't the customer to understand you right? A web designer can't sell himself to clients by using jargans so what makes you think you can resolve an issue by making an idiot out of the customer?

@113 It means "what an ace" in polish, and it's just a joke from a popular video. No need to get your panties in a bunch over it :/

God, OP. Go back to the 80s. "Copacetic" hasn't been in vogue since California surfer movies.

They shouldn't have given you a write up, just reminded you, but customer service is about communication. You should make yourself clearly understood by using everyday language.

today I got a Saturday detention because someone left an empty cup on my lunch table at school after I had cleaned it and left. life is full of imbeciles in high places, with clipboards, and terrible reasons to punish normal people to make them feel better about themselves. that's how it works. you get punished for inteligence too.

i got a write up for a improper grammar over something as simple as saying miss instead of mrs. don't remember exactly. but it was ok for other people to speak what they want to call Ebonics but really it's just slang and not remotely proper English. ie.. I be, why come etc etc etc. FYI. I'm not racist. but makes me mad ebonics is ok but I can't make a simple mistake
