I've been fired once and it was actually funny to me. I was 19 and working in a retail store...Filene's Basement (it went out of business later, so I was happy). Anyway, you know how retail stores give employees and their families discounts? Well, I got a 20% discount on clothing and so did my family (mom, sis, dad, brother). So, one day, my sister comes in and picks out some clothes that she wants. She gives me the money and then leaves because the line was too long to wait and I told her I could buy them at closing. Well, the security guard (black man) saw her give me the money and viewed it as me taking money from a friend to try and get them a discount. So he told my manager who pulled me in her office, showed me on camera and said that I was caught trying to "abuse the discount program". I told her it was my sister, but they didn't believe me and my sister had already left. I was fired on the spot. At the time, I was pissed, but now that I look back, I laugh myself silly because it was such a bad job anyway. Oh well, I hope I never get fired again though! It's too serious of an issue now! Got bills to pay, a nightlife to live.
