When I was a teen working at Canes, I vividly remember management asking a guy to come in on his day off at 8am(mind you, employees normally got there around 930 or so to open) just so they could fire him. He had worked the night before and was looking rough but always eager to pick up an extra shift. All for $6/hr back then. Hope he’s doing well.
I got my first job at Toys R US when I was 16. I was hired during the holidays and was working to save up for this big trip I was going on. After working Thanksgiving, Black Friday AND Christmas at TOYS R US they said that there's a chance they'd keep holiday staff on after the new year. The shift before the new years break they met with everyone individually to let them know if they still had a job. Not a word was said to me. My trip was during the new year and I was excited to come home to a job. The day after performing on the All-American dance team for the Lord Mayor of London and MP's, I was fired on the phone in front of Big Ben from Toys R Us.
