My daughter's friend worked at a supermarket and wanted to get off early but his boss said no. So he got on the PA & announced that the store would be closing in 5 minutes and for customers to please check out now. Yup, he got to "leave early".

Years ago, at a lumber company. Had a guy, less than two hours after he started on his first day, pick up his car with a forklift and stand underneath it to see what was rattling when he drove.

I worked in retail, and we had an employee that would hide and take naps inside racks of clothes. Somehow that wasn't the reason we fired her. We fired her for stealing clothes and then wearing them to work.

One guy missed a major deadline, didn't tell anyone, and didn't show up to work to face the music. Then they found out he was assigning some of his work to another coworker, but turning it in and saying he did it. Then they tried to fire him but he didn't show up for 3 days. They basically drove to his house to fire him.

I was working at a shoe store in a mall and I requested a week off in August for my wedding.
My manager told me her boss wasn’t happy about that and all I said was “my wedding is more important than back-to-school sales.” They didn’t “fire” me per se, they just stopped scheduling me and eventually my access to the employee website went away.

A guy I worked with was fired for taking a gulp of Helium from the tank in the floral department and then paging the store manager.
“Will the store manager Harry Butts (not his name) please come to the customer service desk.” He clocked in as a bag boy and left a legend.
