After the customers that were stealing eventually left the store. I was approached by my supervisor and told to clock out. I asked what the reason was and they told me to take it up with management. Management via text message told me it was a misunderstanding and they would talk to me about it before my shift the following day.

When I arrived at work the next day the the manager took me in the back. He told me that a customer had complained that my speech had slurred words and the manager said he had me sent home because that means I was incoherent.

He told me that is no excuse and that I need to.figure my sh*t out.

And he said again that's not his problem and I need to correct it.
