For context, I worked at a gas station and another place just opened across the way about a month ago, so business has been incredibly slow. Especially for week days/weekends. On Tuesday, I had just clocked in when my boss told me she needed to talk to me.
She preferences this by saying she was looking at cameras that on the Saturday prior to this she noticed that I had pulled hotdogs off the roller about a half hour early than what we normally do, which was around 7pm. Keep in mind, it was an incredibly slow day, especially around that time, plus I had a coworker who was taking his sweet time with something so I couldn't take my break until he was done. So I took the liberty of getting a head start on my stuff, which was taking the old hotdogs off the roller to clean it. No big deal. Plus they were really, really old. Like looking like beef jerky old.
BUT apparently, because i had took them off too early, the company that I had worked for considers that theft, which they have a zero tolerance policy, therefore i was fired.
Over a fucking hotdog. An old, overdue, wrinkly dick ass hotdog that no homeless person would've even touched.
Granted, i knew there was a zero tolerance policy with the company, but how the fuck was I supposed to know that taking old ass hotdogs off the roller was considered theft?
I've been fired once for something worse, but come the fuck on. Fired for a hotdog. That's now on my record to which i can laugh at forever. I'm still mad tho.
