Today, a customer limped over to me in one of the dishwasher aisles and asked if we sold dishwashers. I said yes and pointed at all the dishwashers. He looked around for a couple of seconds, belched, then said "Oh... right!" and walked off. No commission for me, then. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I noticed my dishwasher wouldn't turn on. After shelling out $120 call-out fee, I was a little miffed when the technician walked in, pressed the 'unlock' function and walked out again. FML
Today, I was at work, and some people came in looking for a particular couch. After looking for over an hour on the wholesalers website my boss walks over, makes me take my lunch break and then calls over the couple and takes all the credit for the sale. We work on commission. FML
Today, working in retail, I noticed a customer looking for an item, so I walked up to them and asked, "Is there something I can help you find?" He replied, "Did I ask for your fucking help?" FML
Today, I told a customer the bread he wanted has been discontinued. He replied with, "Are you serious? What is your name? I'm going up front to complain about you." I still don't understand how that's specifically my fault. FML
Today, and like every day, after I'd just had finished serving a customer on one side of the store, my boss asked me to go help another one on the other side of the store, which is literally a 2-minute walk away, while 2 other staff members were besides him, doing nothing. I don't even get paid commission. FML
Today, as I served an elderly man at the fast-food restaurant where I work, he leaned over the counter so that his face was mere inches from mine and asked me if I wanted to buy his car. When I politely told him I wasn't interested, he insisted on making a complaint about me to my manager. FML
Today, I was disciplined by my boss for "not smiling enough." I'm a dishwasher. FML
Today, a customer came up to me and asked if I knew where the make-up aisle was. I pointed him in the right direction but he just gasped and said, "Oh so you DO know where it is!" and walked away, roaring with laughter. FML
Today, at work, I put on a smile and went to take an elderly gentleman's order. He looked at me, asked if I'd stick a finger in his sweet tea to make it sweeter, then complained that it was a shame I wasn't "on the menu". FML
Today, while I was working at a children's toy store, a woman walked in, looked around a bit, then asked if we sold dildos. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You should have said "no we don't sell dishwashers"

"These are dishwashers?!"

"Yes, in fact we do. What kind of model were you looking for? We have *list various models and what differentiates them*." If I wanted to look for myself I'd shop at a discount shop where I don't pay for service and know not to expect it.

#27 I thought the incorrectly spelled words were on purpose because it kinda sounds like how a redneck would say it (I don't know for sure if that was their intention) but that's how I read it

You could reply to that thread. It makes your comment seem less stupid.

this is a problem you post? Wow your life is small. Here is what I heard "this man that clearly has bigger problems than me asked for 15 seconds max of my time and asked me to do my job." wow your life is hard

Did you feel you deserved a commission for pointing and saying yes?

Getting customers who aren't actually interested in buying is typical. If not getting a sale from a weird customer is FML-inducing, you need a different job immediately. I mean, you didn't even do your job as you merely pointed. I hope we don't see more posts from you. "Hey, one guy looked at me funny! FML! LOL"

Uh, that was your cue to engage him in conversation and try to sell him a dishwasher. Sounds like you're not cut out for commission-based sales.

If you want commission maybe try more than just pointing, budget and lifestyle questions so you can recommend the best dishwasher for him and possibly cross sell an additional product. I work in sales and if I can't get commission I don't blame customers.
