Fired from barista position on my first day

So I went through an interview process and a trial shift at a cafe/food location a few days ago. Everything was well and they filled my entire upcoming weeks with shifts. Today I showed up for my first and had an incredibly busy shift, with a fairly incompetent coworker who was coasting his way through work. Now as a barista Im capable of serving coffee which is of higher standard than most of the others working there, despite being out of work for a year and which they knew and still offered me the job. But when it comes to cold drinks which are store specific, I have no clue so Im asking and learning throughout the shift. 0 complaints or send backs through around 400 customers in 3 hours. As soon as the store quietens down Im called in by the manager and told I’m not ready to work…

As soon as the store quietens down Im called in by the manager and told I’m not ready to work here. Keep in mind that no training was provided prior to this shift, and I don’t mean coffee training, which I was capable of serving. What am I to make of this dismissal?
