Got Fired for Following Policy

Part time gig at a gas station on weekends. Boss is immunocompromised, they say if you're sick, don't come in. I let the acting manager know two hours before I was due in that I had the flu and wasn't going to make it in. Crushed a bottle of nyquil, and went back to bed. Wasn't sufficient! I was told to call the district manager (what?) on a Sunday if I wasn't going to make it. This is now five hours after I was due in. So, I text the boss and ask about the game plan for the next day. She hit me with some bullshit about just not wanting to be there, and fired me. This is the same place that hit me with “no one wants to work anymore”. Bro, you were paying me $16 to tap screens and make change. I'm not going to be grateful…
