I saved a store from closing and they didn’t even thank me

This is a bit of an old story but I still think this belongs here. I used to work at a supermarket a few years ago. The supermarket was inspected twice by health inspection, both times, there were found a lot of expired products. There would be one more inspection, if they would find one more expired product, the store would be forced to close. I was put in charge, to go through every isle, inspect every product and check every date, and then take out every expired product. This took me about two weeks and I encountered countless expired products, some of which even moldy. I even found some meat products that were expired for over 6 months. After awhile, i think about two months later, I still had heard nothing about the announced inspection so I decided to ask my boss if he knew when they would come.…

This took me about two weeks and I encountered countless expired products, some of which even moldy. I even found some meat products that were expired for over 6 months.
After awhile, i think about two months later, I still had heard nothing about the announced inspection so I decided to ask my boss if he knew when they would come.
He didn’t even look at me and said: “They already did, found nothing.” And continued with his work.
I know I was just another teenager employee there but they could’ve at least thank me…
Worst thing is, I got fired a couple months later because i was “too expensive” for a supermarket chain worth 30B dollars. (By dutch law, a company is required to give you a contract after 2 years of employment, which was “too expensive” for them.)
