Today, I got yelled at in a grocery store by a customer who recognized me from the pizza place where I work. Apparently, I forgot mushrooms on her pizza earlier this afternoon. I had the day off, but thanks for the verbal lashing, lady. FML

Today, working at a fast food restaurant, I was berated by a customer for a good two minutes. It's okay though because she ended with, "Sorry, I forget you all are real people." FML

Today, at work a customer yelled at me, called me a 'fucking bitch', 'a fat whore', and, told me to lose weight because I wouldn't let her in the grocery store I work at to buy lettuce, after we'd closed. Lettuce for her lizard. FML

Today, I was suspended from work. Some lady went to the manager and told them that I was stalking her, all because I would kindly greet her everyday at the grocery store. I'm the cashier. 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, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. FML

Some people are just truly miserable and dead inside, so they find reasons to be ungrateful.

Maybe I am missing something, but how did you forget to put mushrooms on her pizza if you had the day off?

Confrontation out of where you work is a bit extreme...not that you made her pizza anyway

tell her to make her own damn pizza if she is going to get angry about mushrooms being missed (given it is a rare occurrence and not happening all the time)

I had a customer stop me in the street on my day off and tell me how terrible the lamb rump steak she bought (i worked in a meat department of a supermarket at the time), because of all the fat (they're supposed to be have a layer of fat - they were not "extra trim"). I started to explain and then stopped, and just walked off.
