Working at a gas station is quite the experience. I think it's pretty self-explanatory. Let's just say, it's not the end of the world if you get fired. There are plenty of other jobs out there.

This person was working at a gas station and had to take a day off following a family emergency. They followed protocol and let their manager know 4 hours prior. The manager's response was somewhat confusing, considering that this employee had followed the rules. First, the manager told them they were going to get written up. For what, following protocol? Come on. Then, it got worse, because this manager decided to get petty… and punish the employee in other ways. Scroll down to read the string of text messages, the poster's explanation, and what other people had to say about this.
