Today, while working as a barista, a customer yelled about her muffins and butter not being ready since she only had a "short time to eat". There were 7 tip giving customers ahead of her, but I rushed her order. She gave no tip and stayed for over an hour. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I was yelled at by a customer, who was upset over having waited twenty minutes for a waiter to come take her order. Maybe it would be understandable, if she was sitting in an actual restaurant, and not a serve-yourself coffee house. FML
Today, while working my shift at the grocery store, we ran out of muffins. I'm a little overweight, and I guess that's the reason an irate customer accused me of eating all of them. FML
Today, at work, I got to wait on one of those tables where everyone had very complex orders, and some of them sent their food back. When the time finally came for me to bring them their check and receive my well-earned tip, I returned only to discover that they'd dined and dashed. FML
Today, while I was working at Starbucks, a customer spilled her drink all over the counter. After I cleaned up her spill and remade the drink (for free), she exclaimed, "Thanks! I should really tip you!" Then she turned around, walked directly past the tip jar, and left the store. FML
Today, I got a write-up because I told my boss that it was impossible to have pies, which have a bake time of 1 hour, ready for a customer who wanted them in the next 15 to 20 minutes. Then, when the customer got there and the pies were still in the oven, I got a second write-up for wasting time. FML
Today, at the restaurant I work at, my own mom refused to give a tip and complained to my boss. FML
Today, working at a fast food restaurant, I was berated by a customer for a good two minutes. It's okay though because she ended with, "Sorry, I forget you all are real people." FML
Today, at my place of work in a fast-food restaurant, a customer called in and bitched at me that her warm food was weirdly cold. That is, after she drove 45 minutes from the restaurant to her house. FML
Today, while waiting tables, I watched a woman pull the bacon off her roast beef melt and eat it. She then called me over and spent several minutes complaining about the our chefs' inadequacy because they didn't put bacon on her sandwich. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's sad how rude some people can be even when you try and do something nice for them.

First comes first served. I would've politely ask her to wait just like everyone else. No special treatment for rude entitled people, that's just enabling them.

Hey! Then why'd you post under #1 and get your comment above all the others in front of you? :P

Once again I find myself wishing we could up vote the staff...

my bf and I were at dunkin donuts he paid for his order and I was waiting to place mine. I was ignored while the little punk made an iced coffee for the lady behind me. and then he didn't even charge her. I was nothing less than peeved.

@26- you're completely right. Honest mistake though, I was up too late reading FML's :) if it's possible to do so, staffer should delete my prior comment.

as someone who works in fast food, customers are either: -rarely nice/pleasant/indifferent -needessly retarded -assholes

If only we could stop putting warning labels on stuff...

I always try to be pleasant to anyone serving me if you are less than friendly and have a shitty attitude, well you'll get treated just the same.

Too bad the servers don't have the leisure of doing so. They could get fired if some nuthead customer complaints.

I feel you OP, just remember who she is in case she returns and focus on making the others happy.
Ghastly_fml 15
At least you made an effort to be polite

Actually it was rude to skip the other customers in the first place

#11 I'm pretty sure time management was in play. The woman said she had a short amount of time to eat before having to venture out, so op prioritizes her order.
cryssycakesx3 23
it's still very, very rude to the others that also have somewhere to go and were able to wait.
LittleSushi_fml 13
I would've made her wait anyway. First come, first serve.
omgbrainZ_fml 24
I would have taken more time to serve her. The customers ahead of her were there first, they're expecting as much service.
Enslaved 38
Isn't that why there's a line? To serve people in that order? I feel worse for those that got skipped. Their time is valuable too.

Some people will do just about anything to get what they want. And it truly disgusts me
J215B 33
That's not always a bad thing though.

It is a bad thing when you take advantage of others to get what you want.

Wow. Sorry to hear that OP. Maybe there's a better costumer ahead!?
cryssycakesx3 23
lol there would almost have to be.
Mauskau 36
I don't think costumers have anything to with rude customers.
False_Stupidity 42
Rude customers in clown costumes maybe?
