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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got yelled at in a grocery store by a customer who recognized me from the pizza place where I work. Apparently, I forgot mushrooms on her pizza earlier this afternoon. I had the day off, but thanks for the verbal lashing, lady. FML
Today, while at work, a customer refused to speak louder, despite me asking her to do it several times. As a result, I took her order incorrectly. The customer then finally decided to raise her voice, but only to yell at me about my poor listening skills. FML
Today, I was working the drive-through at McDonald's. I greeted a customer with a, "Hi, how are you doing today?" His response: "Better than you." 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 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, a customer berated me and told me to stop whining because I have to work on the weekend. What did I do to deserve this? I said, "Hi, how are you doing today?" FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. 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, 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, I was taking a table's order. After I finished, the guy told me, "Just FYI, I'm not a tipper." Trying to lighten up the situation, I replied, "It's amazing how many people forget I handle their food." He complained to the manager that I'd threatened him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I feel like everyone should have to work a customer service for at least a month so the next time they feel like being a complete asshat they might think twice.

That's when you smile politely and say, "Yes. You're right. We are. When they ask for forgiveness you say, thank-you for coming by. Have a nice day. Then you leave that area. Never say anything close to, you are forgiven. They think twice next time and choose their words better.

working in a fast food place myself if I feel I'm being treated unfairly or disrespectful I tell the customer they can either be nice to me and treat me as a human being or they can leave. usually they'll be much nicer

Why, because you take pleasure in acting like an asshole towards people who actually have jobs? Do us all a favor and grow up, at least they have a job and aren't sitting at home mooching off of their parents all day. If every fast food employee left their jobs to pursue something better, then we wouldn't have fast food now, would we? So why make fun of fast food employees?

Pretty easily, sadly. Many people forget that those in the service industry are not soulless automatons. They want what they want, and they need it as soon as they thought of it, because service folks are mind readers ya know. Luckily, at my old job, there were twice as many regulars that were kind and caring towards us; and that makes up for the asshats.
