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.

This illustration would be great if there wasn't any dialogue in the last panel. Having the guy say where he works and the giant Starbucks sign right next to each other is redundant and takes away from the humor of the situation. Still one of the better ones though.

This would be perfect... if it weren't for the atrocious Comic Sans.

Why can't people just compliment someone else's artwork without having to critique every detail. If you can do better I challenge you to submit one and see how much people on here hate it! I understand as a designer that comic sans is used way to much and is not a great font, but honestly for an application like this I think it works great, being as it is a COMIC! Great Illustration Frew!

Everyone getting on here to argue about racist comments and statistics and shit, get off your computer and get a life or go argue on myspace where you're surrounded by millions of other people arguing about stupid shit. Guy who wrote the fml, the chick is crazy and it made me giggle, thanks :)

Old people.... they are just weird in that awesome sorta way lol :)
