Was just let go from my job

Not sure if this fits here but perhaps I could get some advice? And if this doesn’t fit here please let me know! I was recently let go of my job due to not following an ID a police. I completely understand. We got a new policy at work where we had to scan every individuals ID and when I got back to work I was doing my first shift with this new scanner alone. It was also a weekend and I wouldn’t get help until 3pm which is when my shift ended. Safe to say I was a bit overwhelmed and didn’t follow it super well as I was just as confused as everyone else as to what was going on. Fast forward to now when I’m being told I’m let go.

I was recently let go of my job due to not following an ID a police. I completely understand. We got a new policy at work where we had to scan every individuals ID and when I got back to work I was doing my first shift with this new scanner alone. It was also a weekend and I wouldn’t get help until 3pm which is when my shift ended. Safe to say I was a bit overwhelmed and didn’t follow it super well as I was just as confused as everyone else as to what was going on.

Fast forward to now when I’m being told I’m let go. I was given a sheet of paper with a list of things on it and as I’m looking over I notice that at least half of what is on there is untrue. I had been working at this job for 7-8 months and the only time I had been talked to was after my breakdown on the day we got that scanner in. However, on the sheet it was stating things like “not a team player” “ignores customers and reads” “does homework instead of help customers” “makes snide remarks at customers” “makes other employees uncomfortable” “doesn’t have product knowledge”

Now I understand that I’m new and no one here knows me but I would never do anything like this. At my previous jobs I’ve had before I was always a great team player and customer service was never an issue for me. I always got along great with people in customer service and they would even chat to me a little bit. (I used to work at a gas station). And all my coworkers seemed to like me and never said anything or gave off any vibes that I was making them uncomfortable.

Towards the end of my job it was starting to feel a bit clicky. My manager and a couple co workers would always spend time in the back talking, going to clubs, or dinners together and I never was really invited. This also meant that while they were in the back I was managing the customers up front. So it’s safe to say I feel like I was fired partly because of the new company policy (which I totally get and I’m kinda happy I’m gone because HECK it was getting stressful) and also partly because I was just not in that click? I don’t know though and I don’t hold any sour feelings towards anyone there. Would love to know other people’s thoughts and opinions and I am open to answering any questions about this situation.
