Today, I was shopping at my workplace, out of uniform, with my husband. A customer recognised me and wanted me to serve him, but I couldn't since we can be fired for doing so while off-duty. He complained to my manager, who wasted no time publicly bitching me out. FML

So wait, the person who is in authority, and should know the rules complains that you follow the rules? I think we know who really needs firing here!

I'm sorry that happened to you. Your boss should know better and should of told the customer your off duty.

I'd egg the managers car in a of couple months, wait for a cold day so they freeze on real good.

OP is in Australia where the seasons are in reverse. In a couple of months , it will be the middle of the summer so you'll be having scrambled eggs on the manager's car.

Your manager is an idiot ! He is bitching you out for following the rules ?!!!! Report his ass to the higher-ups. Nobody should be talking to you that way , not only on your day off but also in public. Nobody should treat you that way, period. absolutely report his ass and politely but firmly demand to be treated professionally. Ugh !

That's the rules anywhere and everywhere, at least in the US, considering it's the law and failure to comply will result in huge fines

You could have helped them a little bit...I do that at times...as long as they don't waste your time and give you a tract and say You're a nice girl I sure don't want you to go to hell you should be alright
