My girlfriend was fired from a coffee-shop for following the orders of her supervisor. She was told to clean a filter out and replace it, given the exact instructions of using a brush to clean out any remaining follicles out of the metal pan then replace the filter with another one that are stored in the blue box marked filters in a drawer. She did exactly that but the supervisor had given her the wrong instructions, she was supposed to use the filters in a yellow box in a cupboard.

This resulted in 3 customers reporting that their coffee tasted wrong and my girlfriend was blamed for it. The boss said those 3 customers were her "three strikes" and she "should have known better and sought confirmation about the filters". Since it was before her three month pre-permanent approval was in place she couldn't contest the dismissal.

I found is strange that she managed to accumulate 3 'strikes' when she wasn't even aware of receiving the first one for following the instructions of her direct supervisor.

My last job I had, I was fired for receiving too many complaints. I was never told the nature of these complaints, nor how many I had gotten and for what reason.

Hell, I can only recall two instances where I gotten any complaints: one was this middle aged lady who insisted on having a delivery done at my tiny register (instead of the large register that did deliveries), called me an ignorant dumbass, was annoyed when I wasn't happy about being called such, and proceeded to tell me how she got paid over forty dollars an hour. The second were these two old ladies who towards the end of my shift wanted to buy lotto tickets, but I was never trained how to use the lotto machine, and no one else there could use it, and I told them such. They didn't like that answer and were complaining more, and I pointed out that if there was no one there that could operate it, then we couldn't sell lotto tickets. They still weren't happy, and I think they're the ones that got me fired.

I think there were a few Spanish old ladies that complained about me, since I couldn't speak Spanish and they yelled at me about how much the stuff they wanted to buy cost (at least I think that's what they were yelling at me. They tended to point at the monitor and yell at me, so it's a reasonable guess).

I lost a job when I asked my manager why my pay had dropped from $20 an hour to $15 with no warning or explanation. I was never technically fired, I was just no longer rostered on. Then one day someone withdrew from their shift at the last minute, and I was called in. Apparently when the manager heard I'd been working he lost his shit at the person who rang me.
