Customers and Work: Jan scams again

Jan scams again

Today, as I was working at a bakery, a woman stormed in, cut in front of the line, and began yelling at me. She claimed I didn't give her a sandwich earlier and demanded a refund. She got the refund out of my paycheck, and as she was leaving she muttered, "Ha, works every time." FML

Today, at work I was trying to be nice and give a customer a discount because she was having trouble finding money to pay for her food. Everybody behind her then demanded a discount as well. 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, a customer complained he never got his sandwich, even though I put it in the oven, dressed it up and served it to him. When I went to clear his table off, I saw the sandwich basket. We had to give him his money back. FML

Today, I walked into a store to buy a type of bread I like. The stuff was sold out, so I asked an employee when they'll be restocking it. The employee yelled at me, because, "They do have that bread," walks to the isle, and then when she saw that they really were out of the bread, she walked off. FML

Customer service

By breadcrumb - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United States - Kansas City

Today, while at work, a customer, who was also on his phone, rudely asked what kinds of bread we had for his sandwich. After I told him we had many different kinds to offer, he cut me off, told me to stop playing stupid, and stormed out after holding up a long line of people. FML

Today, while working at a dollar store, I was clobbered by a woman because apparently, I was ripping her off by charging two dollars for two doughnuts. She didn't understand that she couldn't buy multiple items at once for one dollar. FML

Today, at work, a woman demanded a refund for a video game. She had no receipt, so due to company policy, I couldn't refund her. She reacted by loudly accusing me of being racist, then yelled that she'd see me in court as she finally stormed out. FML

People really suck sometimes! Your manager should've insisted on a receipt or proof of purchase, instead of taking money from your pay! Sorry OP!

Just so you know, it is federal law that you sign an agreement form for monies taken from your check in any state. Your employer is not allowed to just charge you for an instance like that either.

Your boss is a dick. If the woman payed and didnt get the food then the money she payed the store would have had in the till. So if your boss charged you for it then he has also committed fraud unless you was then given a sandwich.

@76 This is what I was thinking too - if the customer didn't get the sandwich, why would it come out of OP's pay? - It's already been paid for...

Federal law says that your employer *can* fine you or otherwise take money out of your paycheck ***as long as it does not reduce your pay below minimum wage***. So if your hourly wage is 50 cents more than minimum and you work 20 hours per week, the most your employer can remove from that week's pay is 10 dollars. That's federal law; state laws vary, but I think the majority of them offer no additional protection. On another note... the above is one of the many reasons I try my best to never get a service worker into trouble, even if they make a mistake, are pissy with me, or do a crappy job. Botched orders might come out of their pocket, write-ups can quickly lead to unemployment, and even a small blemish on their record can cost them a promotion. They'd have to slash my tires or stalk my girlfriend to justify that degree of retaliation.
