Today, my manager cussed me out for being unable to keep a customer happy. That "customer" was a senile old twit who had wandered away from his carer, thought our shop was his living room, and demanded to know who replaced all his furniture. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, I was cussed out by a customer who was unhappy, and he asked to speak with my manager. When I told him I owned the store, he said that that was the problem. Apparently women are "too flaky" to run a bakery properly. 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
Today, my old boss is such an arsehole that not only did he fire me last week, he completely forgot about firing me and when he saw me in the shop as a customer, he yelled at me for being late and out of uniform. I swear his mother didn’t birth him, she shat him out the other hole. FML
Today, my boss bitched me out on the sales floor for a good 10 minutes, because I wasn't "smiling the right way" for our customers. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, a man tried to rob the store I work at. Before the guy was taken by the cops, he complained to my manager for "unfriendly behavior". He took it seriously and bitched me out for not providing "quality service" to our customers. FML
Today, a customer at work said his table was dirty. I asked which one he was sitting at so I could clean it for him. For some bizarre reason he got pissed and called my manager over. He ended up reporting us to corporate, and my manager got written up. He's blaming me for everything. FML
Today, a customer asked a question I couldn’t answer. I asked if she would wait while I consulted someone else, but she spat in my face and stormed off. My manager saw, wrote me up for refusing to help, and gave the woman a gift card for her troubles. FML

Sometimes you just have to play along. You should have pointed to your manager and said he did it, and assure him it would be fixed the next time he came "home".

Did you have to call him a twit though?

I would pay to watch that play out.

That's what you find wrong with this fml?

I thought the same thing - there's two things wrong with the FML; his boss is clueless, but because he got mad as a result, he dismissed someone in need of care due to a medical condition as a "twit." Your boss may be an asshole, but that doesn't mean you need to act like one to others who've done nothing intentionally against you.

Not sure calling someone who probably has dementia an old "twit" will win you any sympathy.

"What - would you rather I made a sale to someone with impaired judgement?" "I mean...did you try...?"

He did not choose to be senile and there is no need to insult him for it. Insult you manager for not recognizing that he was not a customer but a man in need of assistance (and you also for insulting the man suffering from senility).

So you work for an asshole! Change jobs!

Although, sadly, a change of job would not change the fact he himself seems to be an asshole.

I kind of feel sorry for the old man. The poor guy had no idea where he was.
