I was fired once for not going to work on my day off. I'm not kidding. I had a cashier job and one week I had to work my shift plus 3 other people's shifts, but I had Saturday off. Saturday I had my day off and went back to work Sunday. One of my bosses yelled at me about missing that day. I thought she was just crazy and ignored her. Another girl at worked didn't work Saturday either except she was suppose to have worked. That boss didn't say shit to her. Everything went fine until the following Friday. I was suppose to work til 2pm that day. Two O'clock came and nobody came to do the cash. I go talk to my other boss and he starts yelling at me in the middle of the store about not working Saturday and told me that I had to work until 5pm or I was fired. I told him that he needed to go back and look at the schedule and got my check and left. Before I got home he was calling my mom and telling her that he was sorry that I was right I did have Saturday off and I was only to work until 2pm and asked for me to call him. I refused to call him back.

that made me laugh so hard.

i was fired for no other reason than being honest that i don't like retail
other than that i have quit all my past jobs
though not always on the best terms

i've never been fired - i've only had 3 jobs though.
i did get paid off one time because my boss stopped selling newspapers so the shop wouldn't be busy enough for me to work behind the till.

those are such lame reasons and awful ways to fire people - you should have taken action against that sort of thing.

Couldn't change a barrel and kept accidently undercharging people...apparently, I say it serves her right for not having a price list or a decnt till. I absolutly hated that job but i never would have quit so thank god she fired me.

I also made her nervous working behind the bar, apparently I look too sweet and innocent and she was scared someone might swear at me....she paid me triple for the week when she fired me because she felt guilty.
