I was around 20 and working at IHOP as a waiter, the assistant manager called me one morning asking if I could pick up a shift at 8 (it was 7). I said yes so I quickly showered and got there around 10 past 8.

After my shift was done around 1:30, she asked me to sit down and sign something. She had the audacity to write me up for being late.

I was working the cafe at a hospital one for about a year, with the management telling me they were trying to hire another person the entire time because it was a two-person job. Eventually they sat me down and said basically “hey, you haven’t been keeping up on pre-made snacks and stocking grab-and-go stuff, and we know this is our fault because you’re supposed to have a second person, but we’re going to have to write you up anyway.”

Yeah I went home and emailed the head of dietary and told her I wasn’t coming in tomorrow or ever again. She wouldn’t get there to read the email until about 3 hours after the cafe was supposed to be open lmao.
