if that is true, that can easily be fought, it shouldn't be hard to track down your hours...

Schedule, possible cctv footage if your store has it and isn't run by a god damned cheapskate no-gooder who installed fake ones.

Wouldn't it be fairly easy to prove you didn't work over the weekend? Or do you work at McDonald's with a bunch of morons?

DUDE GET UR JOB BACK!!!! i mean come on i wouldnt write it on the internet id get mmy job back

Why WOULDN'T your boss realize that your hours don't match up with when the customers complained? Also, why did you leave your nametag someplace where your co-workers could get it? That's not exactly bright. If you tried to prove that it wasn't you that weekend and your boss still fired you, then there probably was another reason you're not sharing with us. Even if there wasn't a reason, if you live in an at-will state, your boss can fire you whenever he/she wants without giving you warning. So, you sort of deserved it, but it still sucks for you, so I clicked both.

You're stupid.

Like the others, I'm not sure of the authenticity of this, purely because it could be easily proved the OP was not at work, but I have on numerous occasions left my nametag, and sometimes other possessions lying around, because I don't think the people I work with are assholes. I've also worn my friends name tags (I work at a bar), and despite my caucasian ethnicity, blue eyes and bright blonde hair, people at the bar would still call out "Sarjinder, alright mate, do us next!" expecting me to think I know them and thus serve them next.

i'd be pretty mad at my co-workers! :/

It's not about whether the FML is true, or whether the outcome of the situation is the end of someone's life. It's the fact that we read it and it's FUNNY and ENTERTAINING that something happened, even if it was resolved later and there should be a happy ending, like in this case. If the requirement for an FML was that the result be irreparable total bankruptcy or death, there'd be less than 10 FMLs on this site.

Locket: Yeah, it's a good point, but only if you work with people who are clearly different races or sexes than you. I worked as a cashier in a drugstore and all the other cashiers were females, most of whom were Caucasian (those who weren't had names that were still very ordinary in the U.S., such as Shelley or Vicky). Also, you should NEVER assume anything about anyone's honesty or personality. #20: This is sort of an FML because of the level of idiocy in the co-workers and the manager that affected the poor poster. It isn't a perfect FML (and most FMLs aren't perfect) because the poster had a degree of control over whether or not it would happen.
