So this is my story from working at a shitty gas station.
English is my main language and I'm on mobile so sorry for the grammar mistakes.
I worked for this company since August of last year and i got fired last month.
I didn't have problems with the manager but she did promise the shift that I was started to work with which was 2pm-10pm but one of my coworkers who was old and she had a lot of medical problems so she quit on us immediately. So without any training I was put on the overnight shift which was from 10pm-6:30am.
I took so many peoples shift and worked my ass off in the that job but nothing was never good for that job, because without any training they was yelling at me for something that wasn't getting done overnight.
But this was recently. I'm autistic and I have a stimming problem when I pull out my hair due to stress or when I get overwhelmed and my manager said that I need to stop or she was going to fire me.
But I'm getting off topic, so when there is expired food in the coolers we have to write them off and throw them away. I'm a person that doesn't want to waste food so I ask if I can take them home, and they allow me.
So I checked the cooler to see if any food was expired and there was one sandwich that was expired. I took it and started to eat it and thought that I can write it off later, but I didn't which was on me, but mind you that this was after working 5 days in a row because my coworker was going to be out due to a surgery.
After my hours went back to working overnight for two days in a week for a break and one day that I was working from 2-10 I was told to go talk to the manager because she had to tell me something, and that's when she told me that I was fired for the reason above.
I was trying to explain that it was expired but she didn't want to hear it and they sent me home.
Now Karma is striking that company because they can't get anyone to work for that 2-10 shift that I was going to be taking soon 🙂
I'm sorry if this sounded like a rant but I am still peeved over this.
I have plenty of stories of this company if y'all want more just let me know
Edit #1: yes I know it's was my problem that I should've written it down or not eaten it at all but I thought it would have been okay. I was stupid.
Also I'm a female, and I had past trauma about being SA and I never told anyone because I was afraid. So most of the stimming came from working overnight and dealing with weird men who were trying to talk me up to come to their place after work or close down the store. Mind you is that there is only allowed one person on the shift because the store is tiny so I be inside the store alone
