Today, while at work, a guy complained about me "touching his fries." At first I thought it was a joke, because he kept smiling, even after I offered him new ones. I realized it wasn't a joke when he threw the fries on the counter. FML

Today, a guy asked for hot fries at the drive thru. After receiving the fries, he threw them at the drive thru window, complained that they were too hot, and asked for the manager for burning his mouth. I am the manager. FML

Today, while working at McDonald's, a woman returned to the drive thru because her fries weren't hot enough. She was so angry about coming back that she threw her cold fries at me through the window and told me to "choke on them." FML

Fast food, hold the fast

Today, at work, I’ll admit that I wasn’t in a good mood. I work in fast food, and I went to hand this guy his food without looking and he didn’t grab it. I got frustrated so I FINALLY looked. With an equally as upset look, I noticed the guy didn’t have arms, so I’d just been shoving food in his face. FML

Tipped off

Today, I was taking a table's order. After I finished, the guy told me, "Just FYI, I'm not a tipper." Trying to lighten up the situation, I replied, "It's amazing how many people forget I handle their food." He complained to the manager that I'd threatened him. FML

Today, while working, a woman complained that she didn't ask for sauce on her sandwich. After examining the sandwich, I realized it was just melted cheese. When I told her, she threw the sandwich at me. FML

Today, while working at a sandwich shop, we had a shortage and could only put so many veggies on one sandwich. I explained this to one man who was grumpy about it, but kept on ordering. I thought everything went well. He thought my face was a good target to launch his completed sandwich at. FML

Today, at work, I put on a smile and went to take an elderly gentleman's order. He looked at me, asked if I'd stick a finger in his sweet tea to make it sweeter, then complained that it was a shame I wasn't "on the menu". FML

Today, this really cute guy at work kept flirting with me and cracking the funniest jokes. Before he left, he told me how much he enjoyed making me smile. An hour later, I saw my reflection in a mirror, I had a huge piece of food stuck in my teeth. FML

Today, I got threatened with a gun at the drive-thru, all because my coworker forgot to include extra fries in the guy's order. FML

I will never understand how some people can be that rude.

Pisses me off when people treat people in retail/hospitality like shit. Have some respect, there's no need for it.

You should've told him "Would you like to come and make these yourself? Because I can guarantee you at least a few people have touched these fries before you got them. Cut up your own potatoes and make your own fries if you're that bothered by it, asshole."

That might sound very cool when you're mentally compiling a list of comebacks, but in reality the only thing it would do is probably cost OP their job.

sometimes OP it has nothing to do wit u. Some assholes jst come fueled up from anger due to some other reason and take it out on anyone that HAS to listen to them AKA waiters, cab drivers, maids. just a shitty power trip

Well, he was probably just angry from previous events and decided to take it out on you

Unfortunately in the retail world, people like this are an everyday occurrence.

That simply sucks op... In cases like that, never intervene, just call your supervisor/manager to come handle him.

That's a bit dramatic. And I wonder why he was smiling?

At least he didn't attack you like some crazy woman did to a 16 year old working at a McDonald's in sydney! But still that sucks op! Did he think you'd make them levitate to him or something

Customers can be over sensitive asses at times,I remember one yelling at me because I picked up his bunch of flowers to scan and he thought I'd destroy them . It's more like FHL for being an idiot.
