Today, Target asked me if I would do the closing announcement. I've only been working there a little while, so excited I agreed. I told people, "The store is now closing, thank you for shopping at Walmart." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a phone call from my boss, who'd hired me after two months of waiting and begging for this position. A week into the job, the company is closing our store. FML
Today, I got a badly-needed job at a local discount store. After being hired, I found out I'm to help with the soon-to-begin store closing sale, and I'll be jobless again after 3 months. FML
Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML
Today, I found out that the pharmacy I've been getting my prescriptions from for over two decades is closing down. Just the one store. In less than a week. The signs proudly proclaim "Store Closing! This Store Only!" FML
Today, I heard back from my store management interview at Target. I was offered an overnight stock clerk position. When I called HR to find out if my application was in the wrong file I was told I lack the leadership qualities necessary for Target. I graduated with honors from a military school. FML
Today, a shopper approached me at Target and said, "So are you just gonna stand there to look pretty and do nothing around here?" I ignored his comment, until he got so upset that he wanted to speak to my manager. It would have been understandable if I actually worked there. FML
Today, the store I work at got shut down and I got let go. Three days ago I got a promotion and a raise. FML
Today, I reached the point in my life where Target is the "expensive" store. FML
Today, I applied for a job at a local store. As I walked out the door, I heard the manager read it out loud and everybody else laugh. FML
Today, I was at Walmart and I asked an employee for help. She turned around with tears streaming down her face and said, “I'm kind of in the middle of an emergency right now!” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I work at target there isn't a closing announcement, we want our guest to feel the most comfortable and un interrupted shopping experience that's why there isn't any music playing either,

Because not letting the customers know when the store's closing and having them get locked in is a super comfy shopping experience right?

What!? Walmart!?! I thought I was being fancy this time by shopping at Target!

Each week, to **** with regular customers and others, keep saying different stores. Like Kmart, Costco, Alan's hardware or something. You'd probably get fired, but you'd be remembered.

Hey you can't blame him. It's pretty catchy

Your right #101 it is catchy especially when you have the self check out stations that always say "thank you for shopping at walmart"

Please, people are so oblivious to where they are. I get customers all the time asking what store they're in.

I'm sure that's exactly what they're like.

They probably just put away their Target coupons and take out the Walmart ones, then yell at the cashier who won't accept them.

My friend was working at Mc.Donalds drive thru, she accidentally said "Welcome to Mc.Dicks".

I work at McDonald's as well and we have an angus burger and we got one of our managers working drive through to say "would you like to try our new anus burger?" she apologized so many times to that customer haha

Haha! I always say McFurry instead of McFlury. Then I feel dumb and hope there aren't any hairs on it.

I too work at McDonald's and I've said to customers in the drive-thru "Welcome to A&W may I take your order?", that's where I worked previously. Also, one of my co-workers once said in drive-thru "Welcome to McHorton's"

I worked at McDonald's and a customer ordered 1 drink I said is that for here or to go? *sigh*

#8 What is that supposed to mean? Are you calling people who shop at Walmart dumb?
soupisyummy 13
Billy! It's the voices again! Hurry- hide behind that fat woman... Man?.. Woman? Uhhh.. Only at Wal-Mart
soupisyummy 13
Yes. And immoral
immaMonsta 8
#53 Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize people were judged whether they're smart or stupid for simply shopping at a store to get their necessities. What's next, being called dumb for the car you drive? Jeez, people get more shallow by the day.

You probably should be fired....

I really don't think it's that big of a big deal. Everyone makes mistakes.

It was a mere mistake; nothing threatening to his job.

9 and 36, have y'all ever made mistakes, or possibly worked in retail? That is no reason to fire someone. Some of my coworkers have had the same job for like 5 years, and I still hear them say Wal-Mart or some other company. My managers just laugh and pick at them.

today, my Doctor told me my Alhimerz was gone. I went to Target to pick up some ice cream right before they closed. Then the guy made an announcement of closing, he said Walmart. I burst out in tears next to Icecream. FML.
JukeboxValkyrie 19
Perhaps next time try writing down something witty to say during the closing announcement and read it? Like..."It was a great day picking up after your mess but Target must close to clean up after your rotten kids and your laziness, please come see us tomorrow at 8 am so we can start the cycle again. Enjoy your night."
