Today, while serving two middle-aged women at the coffee shop, I was screamed at and accused of being a "sexist and chauvinistic bastard." This was prompted by me charging one of them 40 cents for the addition of steamed milk, which is clearly stated on the price sheet. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, two women came into my place of work, complaining loudly that they couldn't afford a £3 course fee because they didn't have any money to spend on themselves. They were holding large Starbucks coffees. FML
Today, while working as a barista, a customer asked me for "gluten free milk". When I told her that most milk is gluten free, she flew into a fit of rage and cussed me out for being a "cheeky bitch". My manager then lectured me about not being "patronising" to customers. FML
Today, while checking out a couple at work, I handed them their receipt and wished them a good day. The woman promptly pulled her husband to the side, and whispered to him about how much of a "fucking idiot" I was for making the prices so high. I work at McDonald's. FML
Today, while working at a dollar store, I was clobbered by a woman because apparently, I was ripping her off by charging two dollars for two doughnuts. She didn't understand that she couldn't buy multiple items at once for one dollar. FML
Today, while at my job, a couple became angry with me because I charged them for an extra ranch they'd ordered, as I'm supposed to. When I explained how it says in the menu how any additional sauces are an extra charge, she said nastily, "That's okay, we'll just take it out of your tip". FML
Today, at the café I work at, I was yelled at by a woman because the drinks and food she ordered were "taking too long". Before I had the chance to get a word in, she stormed out and said she would never come back. I didn't get the chance to inform her that she hadn't ordered yet. FML
Today, a customer yelled and cursed at me, splashing spittle in my face, and to top it all off she wished “my mom would die in a fire.” All this because I accidentally spilled her milkshake all over her Louis Vuitton handbag. Apparently, it “costs more than my rent.” FML
Today, at work, a woman screamed at me and called me a bitch because I refused to refund something we give away for free. 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, I was called a fascist and accused of being "racist" against poor people, all because some crazy meth-mouthed bitch couldn't afford some booze and expected me to cut the price by almost 40% so she could. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Throw the steamed milk at them.

Sounds like you've really got this life thing figured out.

Ignore them OP, you were just doing your job. :)

This was probably the same lady who after she got her coffee was still pissed off, took a seat and then noticed a girl across the cafe texting someone about her. Then she proceeded to start screaming at her to stop talking about her to whoever she was texting and the poor, startled girl was just trying to check the time on her phone! Crazy bitch! Now she has two FMLs written about her!

I would reply with an udderly ridiculous pun, but I think you just milked this one dry.

Tell them next time they can save a few cents by using the hot steamy milk from their fun bags.
DontClickOnMe 28
Haha wow. Now that image is stuck in my head, thanks. That is really gross.
MidnaLink 35
Same here. And sadly, I imagine quite a lot of things that I read.

Never before have I been so disgusted by an image I came up with myself..

I don't think powdered milk would be very good in this situation.
HortonThelephant 15
Haha. I caught on to the middle age part as well... but my comment still stands. If they want sexist and chauvinistic, you couldn't get much better than that

I'm curious as to how that makes you sexist. They were both women.
crjmc13 6
and the op is a man...
Enslaved 38
Now, if he said "show me your **** and I won't charge you"!
curlstar 6
Yeah, I get that OP is a man. Still, charging a woman for steamed milk does not lead me to think he is sexist. If it was a man and woman together expecting to pay the same amount, unaware of the extra cost for milk, then I would understand the confusion. Or if the women had seen a man ahead of them pay less for the same order, then one might draw the same conclusion that they did. They must be hypocrites to accuse OP of being sexist just for charging them full price. It's unfortunate.

I good person would have given them it for free
ladyLALAA 29
*A good person. Did you read the FML? It is stated on the menu. Always read the fine print!
DontClickOnMe 28
It doesn't make the OP a bad person for charging them, though. He doesn't make the rules and maybe he would get in trouble for not charging them, who knows. I mean, yeah it's only 40 cents, but if during his whole shift a bunch of people ordered steamed milk, then that could add up to a lot of money.

He's running ( or working in ) a business, not a charity.
rosenkrieger223 24
have you ever worked in retail? giving discounts like that when you aren't supposed to is a damn good way to get yourself fired.
fml121785 14
You probably would have been a good person without a job too! Employers consider that stealing from the company when you don't charge the additional amount for extra items.
21jason 9
You as a good person would be fired.
Reaper1984 13
maybe they wouldn't have been a problem had they changed their insurance to gieco where they could have saved hundreds a year
Reaper1984 13
there* ooops
lovemejazzy 8
their*
Reaper1984 13
go back to school my friend I used the proper form of there/their/they're, their is the possessive form
Wolfy1337 7
40) you had it right the first time -_- You go back to school -_-
SomeRandomGuy15 18
40- Yes, it is the possessive form. Which is exactly what you needed there. Who's the one that needs to go back to school?
Allornone 35
I think 40 was correcting the second word of his first post (changing "they" to "there"), not trying to change the "their" to "there." If that's the case, he IS correct, and you all need to chill.

THANK YOU #47
Enslaved 38
Great pun on the OP's name.
MidnaLink 35
What pun are you seeing?
Enslaved 38
In no cent? Since it's about 40 cents. No? Ahh **** it, bury me!:P
perdix 31
#32, highly imaginative! :D I doubt the OP did it intentionally, butt maybe he did. I thought perhaps you saw something involving the similarity of "barista" and "bastard."
