Today, while working at a chain restaurant, I forgot to charge someone a few dollars for extra toppings on the side. My stingy boss took the time to take that money out of my paycheck. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my coworker got a raise by making our boss give me a pay cut for doing his job while he was slacking off. As we were heading home for the day, he found $100. FML
Today, I got a lot of tips at work, but little did I know our boss takes it out of our paychecks. FML
Today, I was at a fancy restaurant with my boss, trying to make a good impression. I ordered the most expensive steak on the menu, only to later realize I'd forgotten my wallet. My boss had to pay for the meal, and I'm wondering if my job in accounting is now on the line. FML
Today, I had to pay my manager $10 just to take my stalker's order so I didn't have to. FML
Today, I was accused of stealing when I dropped a $20 bill in front of my boss. His logic: I'm too poor to have a $20 bill and there's no way it was a tip, since our customers are "so stingy". It was a tip and it was going to get me through the rest of the month. He won't give it back. FML
Today, I was at my work. To urge people to be generous, I paid my friends to put 15 bucks in the tip jar while saying how great I was. He did this about ten times throughout the day. Turns out, us employees don't get to keep the tips. FML
Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML
Today, while at work, a customer gave me a $20 tip. I explained to him we aren't allowed to accept tips, but he insisted. When I called the manager to report it, he pocketed my tip. FML
Today, I was working in a restaurant. On the receipt under "tip" someone actually took the time to write out "$0.00." 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That’s entirely illegal! Report him and get a new boss!

That’s not illegal. When an employee causes a loss, the employer has the right to take the loss from the employee.

Your boss is an asshole. Kinda guy that if he was a cop he would give his mom a speeding ticket for going 1 over the limit....

Why should your employer have to suffer a loss for your “forgetfulness”? You wouldn’t like it if he forgot to pay your salary. So why should he like it when you forget to charge his customers? Without income in a business there is no profit to pay salaries. Grow up and stop whining. It was your mistake. Take responsibility and learn from it.

Maybe because fast food workers already make so little as it is?

So earning a a low salary gives you the right to be negligent with your employer’s business? Ain’t never gonna climb no food chain with that bad attitude!

Your boss has no idea whether you genuinely forgot or “forgot (wink, wink, grin, grin)”.

A) That might be illegal. Your local labor board probably has a website. B) It might be against company policy. Call the chain's HR Dept and ask. C) That's a shit thing to do as a manager. It ***** up employee morale and causes people to leave, which costs the restaurant far more in training new staff and turnover-related problems.

But that minuscule profit is critical to business operations :o
