Today, I got fired from my new waitress job after 2 shifts. They said I wasn't experienced enough to handle the fast pace. I thought I'd been doing well so I asked my friend who works there what really happened. Apparently not showing my boobs enough at a family place was grounds for dismissal. FML

Today, I was fired because my boss found out I had been looking for a new job. Then, I got a call from my only job prospect, saying I was overqualified and too young to work there as a waitress. FML

Today, I got fired from my job. I caught a customer taking pictures up my skirt, and my boss fired me for calling the police and "making a big deal out of it". FML

Today, I was fired from my job as a waitress, all because someone complained there was too much seasoning in their food. As I said, I'm a waitress. This happened the same week I was hired. FML

Today, despite filling all the parameters for a model employee and being praised by multiple people over the time I was working, I was fired because a client complained to my manager that I didn't seem to know what I was doing. FML

Today, after a long couple of months working non-stop, I finally got someone to cover my shift. Turns out she was joking, and when I didn't show up for work, I was fired. FML

Today, I got fired after three days at my new job. They told me it was because of downsizing. They were still interviewing people and had a help wanted sign in the window. FML

Today, I got fired from my job. When I asked why, all that was said to me was, "We don't have to disclose that information, but you did nothing wrong. It's just not working out." FML

That is so unfair. Don't loose your self respect for a job.

You don't want to work at a place like that anyways. You deserve a better job where they actually treat their employees with self respect.

As a food service lifer, I'm deeply offended for you. You should never sacrifice self respect for a job. I'm curious of the dress code too.. usually restaurants have a pretty uniform dress code in my experience. Go find a job that values your work ethic above physical attributes.

Maybe by "family" restaurant she meant twin peaks. Sad to say I've actually seen people take their families (including wife & multiple young kids) there.

Were you working at hooters or something? why is showing ample cleavage a necessity?

I certainly hope OP doesn't work at hooters, considering she mentioned it being a family venue

The Hooter's in my area lists itself as a family restaurant so that's still a possibility. However I think everyone would know that Hooter's shows a lot of boob so a much less likely possibility.

Pretty sure there's other opportunities where you'll be more appreciated while maintaining your self respect. Don't sweat it, OP.

Your friend should have kept you a-breast of the dress code there. Shame on her.

The boobstory kinda sounds like a horney male friends way of softening The blow

Haha does sound like something a guy would say. 2 shifts doesn't sound like enough to judge someone on though unless they were just awful.

Be glad you got fired. Now is your chance to find a job with respectable people. I commend you for your modesty.

Well, maybe partially exposing breasts is a requirement...in the fine print of the position.
