Today, my son volunteered to help me cut out coupons. When I got to the register at the store, I noticed he'd cut off all the barcodes. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a customer called me a "smart ass" because I helped him scan his coupon correctly. FML
Today, my son is an idiot, but I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt by giving him a job as a cashier in one of my stores. Within half an hour, I was sent security footage from that store's manager showing my son on his phone, ignoring customers, picking his nose, and stealing money from the till. FML
Today, I realized I have finally turned into my mother when I got excited about using so many coupons that I only paid 70 cents for $14 worth of groceries. I need a life. FML
Today, I spent twenty minutes helping an elderly man figure out how to use the self-checkout. When we'd finished, he smiled, thanked me, then walked away… without paying for any of his groceries. The cashier assumed I was with him. FML
Today, I was out shopping with my son and unbeknownst to me, he had secretly added a bunch of expensive games he wanted to the trolley. I was too embarrassed at the till to make a fuss as there was a huge line behind me. I watched as my normal £50 shopping bill climbed to over £400. FML
Today, I was working drive thru and took a huge order. When the people pulled around to the window, they handed me a stack of coupons. None of the coupons were even related to what they ordered. They made me change their order to fit the coupons because they couldn't read. FML
Today, my son decided to run around a supermarket in his underwear, leaving me to chase after him. FML
Today, at my cashier job, I got written up for accepting obviously photocopied coupons. Last week, I got written up for "inadequate customer service" because I refused to accept the same bogus coupons from the same customer. FML
Today, my 4 year old son thought it was funny to put money in the shredder. He stuck over 500 dollars in it. FML
Today, I was at work handling the cash register. It wasn't working correctly, so I apologized to the woman I was waiting on for the delay and explained, "The cash register's being a little retarded today." Then I noticed her clearly "special" adult son standing behind her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'd need to know your son's age before I pass judgment.

Don't blame him, OP, you should have been paying more attention to what he was doing! Or, maybe you could have shown him the way to cut them, and you wouldn't have this problem! I feel bad for your son; he prob felt bad for doing that even though it wasn't intentional!

Most kids shouldn't run with scissors. Yours should be kept away from them completely.

I personally believe that no one should run with scissors! That shit's dangerous!

She probably needs to restock after her stupid son sprayed it all over the house.

It's the thought that counts. (Unless he's over the age of 10 then it was probably on purpose)

It shouldn't be too big of a deal, unless you're one of those people that uses so freakin' many coupons that they obnoxiously clog up the line just so they can save a few cents...

A few cents? Coupons are money! I saved $75 tonight using 20 coupons. Spent $50. You don't like saving money or buying things on sale?
