    Font - Ok so, a little backstory first. I am a 20 yr old college student full time and doing 23+ hours a week on top of classes to make ends meet. I live paycheck to paycheck and have a car i am/was paying off. I use to work at a mcdonalds in my home town but since i moved to live on campus which was 45 minutes away from my old job and i wasn't willing to make the commute. So i decided to apply (and got accepted) to a small sandwich shop 10 minutes from my college which was a blessing. It starte

And when id have to stay over sometimes 2-3 hours after closing shed burst in the next day yelling screaming at the top of her lungs "STOP STAYING LATER YOU HAVE TO BE OUT BY 8:30 WE WONT PAY YOU FOR ANY TIME PAST THEN!". I had no choice because the list she gave me to do to close the store alone every night may i add was extremely time consuming especially with no help i was

    Font - top of that the moment management switched they decided they were "giving people to many hours" and cut me to only 3 hours a week! That went on for 4 weeks till I decided enough was enough $45 work weeks wasnt even worth putting in the time and effort to even show up. So on one of my weekends i was with my parents off campus i was due to work that day, 3 hours of course my only day that week. I was shopping near said sandwich shop (its located inside a walmart). My mom and i were discussi

    Font - She text me back ranting about how since im not giving her a 2 week notice ill never be able to work at one of those sandwich shops again at that point i didnt care. I already had to give up my brand new car of only 4 months cuz i couldnt pay my loan and insurance, it was a nice car to a white shimmery 2016 hyundai senata, i loved that thing. I told her at some point that week id try to get the brand new uniform that funny enough they had just gave to me the week prior a whole 3 1/2 month

    Font - but that may not be possible due to my school schedule and im not willing to ditch a class to drop off a few pieces of clothing. She said "NO YOU WILL BRING IT BACK TOMORROW DONT EVEN TRY TO LIE TO ME YOU WERE SEEN IN STORE THE DAY YOU QUIT! NO EXCUSES!" Ok then :) she said no excuses. I didnt wanna go into a argument with her over it. And knowing she herself would be closing that day and my classes ended at 8 exactly i happily complied.

    Font - I made sure id arrive right as she was closing the lock on the gate. I was bringing the clothes in my reusable shopping bag i had no throw away bags and since she cant take and claim my bag as her own i was just going to give her the clothes one piece at a time. Knowing she would have to carry them out of the store juggling them back home made me happy.

    Font - When it came time to deliver my uniform to her all the stars seemed to align perfectly i arrived at 8:30 caught her on the way out with the outfit not even in a reusable bag to begin with. As a extra touch of sweet unplanned irony it was raining outside, hard rain the sidewalks i guess were extra slippery and muddy cuz on my way in i slipped and landed chest first into the mud i was mostly spared tho, because the clothes were there to break my fall and absorb most of the filth.

    Font - After i had returned to my dorm that evening i sent her a text saying simply "enjoy:)" and i blocked her number. Safe to say karma really did pay out on my end.

    Font - Puzzleheaded_Bee550 8 hr. ago I worked for a fast food chain and my manager got pissed that I took a week off for a family emergency, so he started diking around with my shifts. I'd work 5 days a week, but my days off were split and I'd have 3rd shift before my day off and 1st shift after my day off. After a month of this, I was exhausted all the time. I called off an extra day so I could get some actual rest and turned off my phone. When I went in the next day, he fired me at the end of

    Font - Professional Pen1273 +1. 7 hr. ago My husband was fired from an auto parts store because he applied for work as a mechanic at a dealership. He didn't know that the owners were friends so his boss found out about it. His boss fired him right away and asked for his uniforms back immediately. His mom had put them in the washing machine so they were still full of soap. So he went home, got them from the washer and he slapped those wet clothes on the parts counter! Boss was pissed. Oh well.
