I used to work at this little cafe in my town and it seemed like a decent job until the day I met the owner. This guy was batshit crazy and would go off on anyone at anytime for no reason. He would yell and scream at the manager, cooks, servers and even customers. He took me in the back once and yelled in my face for having my elbows on the counter before taking someone's order at the front register.
Anytime he would pull into the parking lot outside we would all brace for a shitstorm of rage. One day my manager texted me on my day off and asked if I could come in because they were short. I quickly made an excuse and said I couldn't because of a dentist appointment. I wasn't actually busy, just had no desire to come into work to get bitched at. My manager texted back and told me that the owner wanted to see a note from the dentist before I returned to work.
Literally couldn't believe what I was hearing and immediately refused. Told him that I don't have to provide anything because it's my day off and I'm not obligated to come in. Few days later I come in for my shift and the owner fires me because I didn't have a note. I was so happy to get out of there but it's still baffles me that they fired me for not providing a note because I didn't come in on my day off.
