folding chairs of doom
I worked at a hastings entertainment store for one and a half years, and at the time of this story I was a departmental manager (not bad for an 18 year old). I had never called in sick, never been late without just cause, and had only good performance statements and letters of commendation from customers. Everything was fine and dandy until one Monday when I went into work and couldn't find any of my paperwork for the week's new releases. "That's odd," I remember saying aloud before reprinting the papers, which took for-freaking-ever. I got all of my price management and other corporate-monkey stuff done and started the new release wall (Mondays are always new release nights), when suddenly I'm called to the back room. I walked through the store wondering what in the hell was so important that they had to pull me away from the hardest part of my job, and when I opened the door I saw my manager sitting in a folding chair, with an empty one infront of her and papers in her hands. Folding chairs are always a sign of impending doom, mind you. At that moment, I knew I was being sacked, I just didn't know why. Turns out I had let my younger brother purchase a soda with the employee discount--oh my god, that's less than fifty cents of a difference, the company will obviously go out of business, right? So anyway...I calmly held up the new release paperwork, ripped it in half and threw it in the trashcan on my way out. I left the store with a smile on my face, and even waved to my manager as I walked out of the door. Nearly two years of imaculate servitude and what do I get?!--JACK SHIT. So a word of advice...don't work at Hastings. Trust me on that one.

Journey's
I was working at this shoe store and the assistant manager had been fired a week after I arrived. A girl in the store was promoted to his position. I was still training on the register so the ass. manager was in under my name. Make a long story short she fucked up a transaction on my drawer. Now the store manager has to be called in on her day off. She of course starts swearing at me "what the fucks wrong with you! you dont know what the fuck you are doing" Mind you I didnt complete the transaction. She threatened to write me up and I told her that I quit.

Walgreens Sucks
I was working at Walgreens in the Pharmacy department for alittle over 5 years. I was working mainly as cashier for the most part then when I got my California license, I got to work in the back filling medicine bottles. After switching stores to work for a total dumb ass, which i didn't ask for a transfer the company told me i had to. he didn't like me explaining my actions, he would write reports to his bosses saying I was a trouble maker and immature for his store. I stayed even though I asked for a transfer and made complaints about his managing. When a customer threw her bag at my head and I threw it out the door, telling her to drop dead. the manager didn't want to talk to me about my side of the story. i told the upper management i wanted to quit. after a week the pharmacy manager called me into the office and told me he wanted me gone. i laughed it off cause i told him i was going to quit anyway, he said he didn't care and was firing me anyways. I walked out, saying goodbye to my former employees. i filled for unemployment and wrote a long letter to the cooperate offices about his lack of understanding. the people i talk to that still work at that store tell me he is out of the district and has been demoted to a non management title.

Sitting while injured
So i am working at a corner pantry gas station. and while i was moving the boiled p-nuts from the burner to the freezer for the day, i lost my grip. my chuck taylors were soon soaked in very greasy very hot "water" from the cajun nuts. i figured that i would be fine if i cleaned the injury, kept it medicated and stayed off the injured foot for awhile. it was nothing i couldnt treat myself and i didnt want to make a big hairy workers comp claim about it. so i pulled up a chair to the regester and stayed off the hurt foot for about two days. when i came back from a break, my manager tells me that someone complained that i looked unprofessional sitting on the job and brought it up with the company president. i was told to turn in my key and sign my termination slip
all i wanted to do was minimize any trouble for the management. but you try to do someone a favor and you wind up getting fucked.

Drive-thru of REVENGE!
I was working at a Wendy's and the lazy managers wouldn't let me take a bathroom break cuz I was the only one working the drive-thru. This was so aggravating because both of the managers were sittin on their butts smoking cigarettes and I really had to go. So I told myself, that's it, it ain't worth it anymore. I started hooking people up!!! Anything and everything I could stick in a bag and send out that window was how I got even. I was giving 2-3 times the food they ordered, and if they had kids, they got a gang of toys! The grill cook and everybody kept wondering where all the extra pre-made foods were going. They'd look at me and I'd say "Oops, guess you need to remake it now." HAHA
That's for everytime you went thru the drive-thru and got your order screwed up! Not really fired, but that was the perfect way to quit a fast food job!!

Crispers Crap
I worked at Crispers (a soup and salad restaurant) for about 8 months. Then we got a new manager and he was such an A-HOLE. He made everyone do stuff like cleaning out the crevices in the floor behind the freezer and lots of other crap that we had no reason to do. Finally one night he got tired of the way I stood up to him so he gave me a list of crap to do. I explained that I wouldn't be gone till 11 p.m. Crispers closed at 8pm. He said it wasn't his problem. So I walked around for awhile not doing anything (and getting paid for it). Finally he said it was time for him to go home and I could finish tomorrow, as we walked out he said is that it? And I said no actually, (I took my shirt and hat off) you can take this and shove it up your a** cause I quit.

BOO!
Ok, so i had just got my first job at a dollar store. It was pretty lame, but i figured it was better than nothing. So i have this co- worker named Sharon, and we are the biggest 18 year old spazzes in america. Well, we were both on break, and decided to goof off. In the middle of the Dollar store, there was a bunch of pillows on a shelf, so i took them all down and buried Sharon completly from head to toe. But (uh o!) our boss came out from the back room so i ran to the other side of the store, leaving sharon under the pillows. Dave(my boss) started to pick up the pillows, and sharon, thinking it was me, jumped out and yelled BOO!!! Dave myst of jumped three feet in the air! lol We both ran out of the store and the next day we both got fired. But it was sooo worth it lol XD :P

dont touch your items
I WAS the boss of a hunting store, so this one time i picked up a cross bow, and shot through a wall because it was faulty, so i didnt even press the trigger. So the arrow flies through the air and goes into a shelve, which almost stabbed some lady in the head. Since i knew i was fired, i loaded up on arrows and ran out. I never came back.
This other time i was a co- worker at a fire arms store, so i was cleaning the desk when a customer asked for assistance. He wanted to know how much the gun costed, o being the mron he was, he didnt realize the price tag on the trigger. So i took the gun, looked at the tag and shot another co- worker in the thigh. I fired a gun, and then my boss fired a me.

At the end of my shift, I left her a nice little note.It read: "I'm about sick of your big mouth- always badmouthig people. I quit, do this shitt yourself. And DON'T call me casue I'm sure as fuck NOT going to call YOU!!!"
