Today, at work, a woman came up to the counter and asked if we made sweet and sour chicken. Before I could answer, she told me a really long recipe and said "I expect to see this on the menu next time I come in, or I will complain to the manager about your lousy work ethic". I work at Starbucks. FML

uhhhhh. xD I think you need to warn the manager about the crazy lady demanding sweet and sour chicken.

Something similar happened to me once. I was working in a B&N cafe (which is basically a Starbucks, but owned by B&N) and this guy came in--in his 20s, so young enough to know better--and was like, "How do you make your chai? Is it with some kind of nasty syrup?" I told him that yes, we did use a syrup, but that it wasn't too nasty. He was then like, "No. That's no good," and he proceeded to tell me various chai suppliers in the area, as if I, a barista at a bookstore, had any authority to change where a large, national corporation bought its chai.

nice job to Henry Frew for making a comic that was actually accurate and relevant to the FML. and this was kind of a funny FML. It more belongs on notalwaysright.com though.... whatever. its still funny.

The FML was funny, but I dunno, the comic kinda didn't live up to it, I find. The drawings are pretty good, but the way to make it flow in a funny manner was lacking.
