Today, I was shopping in an upscale store. As I was changing, I heard one of the snobby saleswomen say to mine "You shouldn't bother. She isn't going to buy anything." Determined to "show her", I purchased everything I'd tried on. It came to around $500. My credit card was declined. FML

Today, I was waiting in line while a lady paid for her shopping, when her credit card got declined. She started ranting and insulting everyone and kept insisting: "I'm not poor!" By the time the lady had finally stormed off, I had spittle on my face, and the cashier was almost in tears. FML

Today, I was shopping at Shoppers Drug Mart with my mom. As we pulled up to the cashier, I noticed it was a really hot girl from my school. Trying to be cool, I told my mom that I'll be paying for the purchases. My debit card was denied. My mom had to pay. FML

Today, I thought the cashier said the new blouse I picked out was ugly as she was ringing me up. I'm really self-conscious about my fashion sense, so I snapped and started yelling at her. It wasn't until she was close to tears did I find out she said "lovely" not "ugly". So, that's another store I can't go back to. FML

Today, I was kicked out of a job interview at a clothing store for "not dressing appropriately" for the occasion. I'd purchased my outfit from the same store just two days prior with my last $100. FML

Today, I went to a restaurant with my friend, where my credit card got denied in front of everyone. The staff teased me and made me sit in the restaurant while my friend begged for money outside. FML

Today, I bought some shoes, but pissed off the lady working at the store by returning them 5 minutes later. She yelled at me and ripped my receipt in half, everyone in the store watched as she threw a handful of pennies at my face. FML

Today, after my two credit cards were stolen, thousands were charged before I could cancel. The thief dropped nearly $1,000 at Juicy Couture, so she/he is somewhere laughing at me in a magenta, rhinestoned "leisure suit." FML

Today, I was buying an expensive pillow for my mother from a store clerk who wouldn't stop staring at my boobs. After paying, I saw an elderly lady who had dropped a bag, so I walked to help. I walked back to the clerk, who refused to believe I paid. The reason? He didn't recognize my face. FML

Today, I was out shopping with my son and unbeknownst to me, he had secretly added a bunch of expensive games he wanted to the trolley. I was too embarrassed at the till to make a fuss as there was a huge line behind me. I watched as my normal £50 shopping bill climbed to over £400. FML

Late start

Today, I was planning on meeting my friend at the mall. She came late, and I was in the dressing room trying on a few things. When I came out to meet her, she looked at me oddly and said, "You shouldn't buy that, it looks terrible on you." Those were the clothes I came in. FML

Wow trying to show that you were materialistic? Come on now shame on you. Esp. Since you didn't even need it. Course your card knows better he doesn't even wanna be used by you. Next time, do what #10 said. That's rude and if the sales woman was profiling you, be sure to be a snobby bitch back

#21 Pretty ******* lame, considering I can afford to do awesome shit like skydive and have my servants/slaves compete in gladiator style tournaments. BTW if you wanna make some bank and don't mind getting dirty let me know.

AHAHAHA I get it ... That's a great technique to sell ! Say out loud "she's not gonna buy anything" while a dumbass is trying some clothes on, and then, you can be sure that the idiot is gonna buy EVERYTHING. Great job !

You're a moron. If you wanted to "show her" without looking like a complete tool, you should have just spoken to the manager about her rude behavior.

Agree with #28. Also if it's an upscale store they sometimes work on part commission, so "show her" by NOT buying $500 worth of crap you don't need.

You probably should have just gave the saleslady an evil look, not try to buy everything. Oh and I agree with 20

YDI, but you should've complained as well. Staff should not be making those kinds of comments about customers, especially when the customer is right there. It's totally inappropriate and unprofessional. If you absolutely have to bitch about customers, do it in the break room or something and not on the shop floor.
