How old are you, thirteen? You thought it'd be a 'laugh' to make fun of a customer?? Seriously? You're a total moron. You shouldn't be making fun of a customer, even if he was just clumsy. They're the reason you have a job. You just made it five times as worse as it would have been because he was actually ill. I hope he complained and I hope you lose your job.

That's instant fired if your boss finds out. YDI

Ok. I've tried explaining why I did what I did, but I'm still getting the death threats and a lot of the word '****' being used to show your disdain. I would like to tell you what really happened, not because I want you on my side or I'm trying to defend what I did. I just want you to see that what happened was based on simple stupidity and not because I'm the spawn of satan. So here's you some of the stuff you've all assumed that I would like to put right: - 1. This man was not at all elderly. He must have been 45-50 years old. You don't have to be elderly to have Parkinson's Disease. See Michael J. Fox for proof of that. 2. I offered to pack for him before he started struggling himself. He was alone, so I felt I should help him. He declined. That's why I thought he could do it himself. 3. I had no idea he was suffering from arthritis or Parkinson's Disease. I'd never met him before. He was struggling to open the bags, like myself and most people do, and so I made the very stupid comment based on that. 4. No, I didn't notice the shaking associated with Parkinson's Disease. I know that people think Cashier's are all idiots, wasters and the job is really easy, but you do have to focus on the screen in front of you to check the identity and the price of the item is correct. Therefore, I was barely focusing on his movements or his mannerisms. I was just doing what I'm paid to do. 5. As soon as he told me what was wrong, and I then focused on him properly, I then noticed he had a mild tremor in his hands. 6. I immediately apologised for what I said, feeling terrible. I then opened all the bags for him and offered to pack. He declined because, like you, he thought I had made fun of him because of his disability. I tried to explain, but he didn't want to hear. 7. If I knew he was struggling because he had a medical reason for not being able to open the bags, I would never had said it and would have made him let me pack. I would hate it if I saw someone who clearly had a disability not being able to do something and I'm just standing there ignoring it - That IS evil. 8. He left angry and hurt. I was left feeling horrible and guilty for being so stupid. 9. I wanted to post the FML not to get sympathy. As I said, I felt terrbile for upsetting him, and I just wanted to get it off my chest. I wanted to show people how much of an ass I'd been that day. 10. FML is all about bad things that have happened to you or that you have done. I felt that my stupidity for saying that to a man I didn't know was an FML moment. In retrospect, I realise that the way I worded the FML sounds like I was being cruel. I can understand why you are all upset. But to say I deserve to die or have all this offensive language thrown in my direction was ok? You know nothing about me. To assume that I always behave like this, that I'm this evil, vindictive bastard, based on one stupid comment... Well, I really don't know. Furthermore, why would I post this as an FML moment if I enjoy being horrible to people? It's because I hate myself for being so stupid that I posted this. Again, I really am sorry if I offended anyone. The last thing I wanted was all of this, so I just hope this post will clears it all up.

wtf, have you people ever heard of this thing called a mistake? seriously people GET OVER IT.

yes he made a mistake. yes he should be punished for said mistake.

Leave the poor guy alone!!! Everyone ***** up once in a while. Its not like he did it on purpose. I work as a cashier too and like he said, you dont have time to examine customers and it would be easy to not pick up on a relatively unnoticeable disability (i.e you would notice if someone was in a wheelchair). I think I only look up at each customer for a second when greeting them or telling them the subtotal. And NO ONE can open those stupid plastic bags because they stick together, so i can see where it would be funny to joke around with someone about it.

Are you honestly that dumb? You should have helped him! I fail to see how that could possibly be seen as funny. YDI, douche.

you fail at life OP

u suck cuz u said whilst

you are a stupid twot, op. I hope you get fired. I also hope your house caught on fire that night, you inconsiderite ass whole **** you
