Quitting is like a game of peekaboo. Now you see me, now you don't… and once you see me less, or rather, when I hand in my two-week notice, it's all fair game. Unless your employer is decent, which, if you work at a food franchise in customer service, is rare, you are bound to hit a few obstacles. So, in this case, OP's boss hired a new worker, whom OP was told to train. That was all dandy until OP's boss began giving the new hire all of OP's hours.

Then, afterwards, OP got super annoyed, because they realized that they had fewer shifts, which meant that their salary was considerably smaller. What is an employee to do when their boss is playing an unfair game? Quit, of course. That prompted their boss to take ALL their hours away, meaning that in the two week period OP was supposed to be working, they were not working at all. Second question: What is an employee to do when their boss is no longer playing, but won the unfair game? Well, for that answer, you will have to scroll down and read the screenshots, but let's just say that OP was not letting it end there.

Coming up next is a computer science student who got back at his teammates who left all the work of the group project for him to do, and then took credit for everything.
