Today, I got screamed at to the point of tears by a Starbucks employee for "giving an obviously fake name" to confuse one of the employees. I told her my real name. My name is Ian. FML

Today, while working in a customer service call center, a customer berated me for using a fake name. He said my name is "too stupid" to be real and that no sane person would ever use it. It was my real name. FML

Today, a customer at the bar I work at yelled at me for calling her "Ma'am." I asked what she'd prefer, and she gave me her name. When I called her by her name, she yelled at me for not calling her "Ma'am." FML

Today, I was addressed by name by the liquor store clerk. I've never told him my name. He's just seen my ID many times. FML

Today, my first day at the job, I went up to my coworker and began to ask her name. She cut me off and snapped, “I have a name.” FML

Today, a guy came into the small coffee shop I work at, and got angry because I wouldn't accept his Starbucks gift card as valid payment. When I told him we clearly aren't a Starbucks, he said "It's all the same shit" and ended up throwing a punch at me. FML

Today, I walked to Starbucks. On the way a homeless guy asked me for change and I lied and said I had no money. On my way back, Strawberry Frappuccino in hand, the same guy recognized me. He followed me for 3 blocks, swearing and yelling at me. FML

Today, at work, a customer came in and ordered a "Butterbeer Frappuccino." When I said we serve no such thing, she yelled at me for "lying" to her, saying she knew about our "secret menu." She ended up complaining to my manager and demanded that he fire me. FML

Today, I went to Starbucks to get coffee. The employees told me that there was no more coffee. I started cursing at them and told them that I am in a really big hurry, and that I need coffee every day. They had been yelling back the whole time. Little did I realize, they were saying April Fool's. FML

Today, while working as a cashier, a really cute guy came up and said, "Hi Morgan". I freaked out and asked him how he knew my name. He then replied, "You have a name tag". FML

Today, while I was working at Starbucks, a customer dumped a hot chocolate on me and yelled, saying it wasn't his order. The order actually belonged to a 4-year-old boy with the same name, who started screaming when he didn't get his chocolate. FML

Could be a case of them not being able to hear correctly. I know how loud it can get and I can't hear people correctly (that was McDonald's cafe though)- but no I would never yell- that's disgusting. Unless you said something smart assed back? I don't think you'd write an FML if you did but there's got to be more to the story.

Even if he did say something smart assed, it certainly doesn't warrant being screamed at to the point of tears...

Call customer service and DEMAND that employee is let go. Say it in a harsh way and they will take care of you, with free stuff

Is that your idea of customer service? Where do customers get off demanding things of employees and corporations? Just because you go into a store acting like that doesn't mean you're going to get your way. Letting that employee go could have legal implications. But if you say it harshly everything will magically happen for you, right? Managers aren't going to manage their employees/the situation at all because you were harsh in your tone/language. And no, you will not necessarily receive free stuff. If you behave this way in a store, you should be ashamed of yourself. (I speak on what this user wrote, not OPs FML. There is no reason OP should have been belittled and screamed at like that.)

75, I don't think there's anything wrong about complaining to a manager about this. If the employee was that rude to OP, chances are he's been rude to other customers as well. If I were a manager, I'd want to know if one of my employees were behaving that way.

#67 didn't say anything about speaking to the manager. There is absolutely nothing wrong with speaking to the manager at all, especially about this type of behavior that OP received. Its about #67 demanding things of the corporation and then expecting free things from them. This behavior and sense of entitlement is abhorrent in retail and food service stores. I work store level retail and coming in and demanding discounts or items from us gets you nowhere. Coming up and actually speaking to us works so much better. Being an adult and speaking to the manager about any possible issues works wonders compared to demanding whatever it is you want.
