Instead of hiring someone to fill a vacant position, a man’s boss insisted on assigning him more work. When he refused, the boss fired him. What was the man to do after being sacked? He left the store immediately. However, what unfolded next resulted in the boss facing immediate karma and a heavy financial loss. Here’s the full story, as told on Reddit:
They Were Working Two Jobs
The Original Poster (OP) starts the tale by explaining they’d taken on an extra job to help pay for activities their kids wanted to do. A few nights each week, they’d work as a cashier at a small local grocery store and butcher shop.
Their Colleague Quit
One of OP’s colleagues had the nasty job of cleaning and sanitizing the butcher shop at the end of each day. However, one day they decided they’d had enough and quit. This caused a problem for the shop owner…
The Boss Didn’t Hire Anyone Else
Instead of hiring someone to take on the role, the owner decided to save money by getting the cashiers to do the cleaning between helping customers. Here’s how it worked: the owner stayed in their office (“watching TV and f****** around” as OP put it) and would call the phone in the butcher’s area to tell whoever was cleaning that a customer had arrived.
OP Refused
When OP arrived for their evening shift and got told about this new setup, they said no – they wouldn’t do it. After all, that’s not the job they’d been hired for. They were there to stock shelves and run the register, not clean dirty butcher’s equipment.
The Owner Sacked OP
In response to OP’s refusal, the owner told them they’d do what they were told or could consider themselves sacked. They then walked away. OP didn’t care. They said fine and proceeded to collect their stuff and leave the store. That’s where the owner’s problems really started…
The Owner Hadn’t Realized Something
Unfortunately for the owner, they’d assumed OP had backed down and started doing the cleaning. They hadn’t realized OP had left. So for about 2 hours, the owner buzzed down to the butcher’s area whenever they heard a customer coming into the store, not realizing nobody was going out to them.
They Got Robbed
When the owner finally realized what was happening, they went into the store and found it had been emptied out. The liquor, cigarettes, and scratchers had all been taken. Needless to say, they weren’t happy about it…
OP Got an Angry Call
At 19:30, OP got a call from the owner who was screaming down the phone. He said they were calling the police to come and arrest them. OP wasn’t worried, though.
The Police Watched the CCTV
True to his word, the owner called the cops, who then asked OP to come back to the store. They complied, explaining to the police that the owner had fired them, so they simply went home. OP told them to watch the CCTV, which would prove their story. Lo and behold, when they reviewed the footage you could clearly hear the owner telling OP they were fired.
The Owner Lost $30,000
According to OP, the owner could have lost around $30,000 as a result of this incident – a fact OP didn’t seem too upset about. But should they have taken more responsibility for what happened? Or is the boss the real villain of the story? Drop a comment with your thoughts.
