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.

OOOOKAY! It appears that nobody understands the fine business that is STARBUCKS. If a customer complains about anything to the manager of STARBUCKS they will fire whoever is being complained about. Why? Because any 16 year old can make coffee, but when one of them makes a customer not want to come back they get fired. The F'd Life man is expendable, and this is a very job hungry time. Now then, to all of you, do not fake intelligence, leave that to the intelligent.

Obviously, you have never worked at Starbucks. I have. That isn't how it is.

Finally! An illustration that accurately represents the original FML.

Finally... An actual decent illustration which doesn't go into some stupid tangent.
