'He was putting little notes in the DVD cases at Blockbuster': 25+ Employees who got fired on the spot

There was a time when being fired was something to be ashamed of, but these days, companies love to hire and fire expeditiously. It's almost a rite of passage for those who work in retail or fast food. And if it doesn't happen to you, it'll certainly happen to one of your coworkers.

The thing about customer service jobs is that you unfortunately have to serve customers, a lot of whom have no intentions of ever treating employees with respect. You're supposed to brush off their repeated insults, but it's hard to let someone disrespect you. You really want to talk back to them, but you need to keep that job… If you've ever seen a retail or customer service rep snap, it's usually because they've been pushed to their limits over and over.

These people below shared the funny and infuriating reasons they got canned from their workplaces. Some quietly left, while others made a scene, but it seems like almost no one regrets their decision. Next up, this dude tried to save a few dollars at the pool store, only to end up turning his wife's hair green.
