Today, while working at Wendy's my boss approached me and told me the District Manager wanted to talk to me. I had been given a substantial raise the day before so I thought he was going to promote me to manager. Wrong, he told me I was being fired for eating a 99 cent cheeseburger. FML

Clear some things up. I had been working there for 4 1/2 years. Everyone at the store eats on the job and I was the only one to get fired. Never had any disiplinary problems before. The Store owners 14 year old son saw me eat the burger while working and told his dad who in turn told the DM. My regular manager didnt even know about it and was as blindsided as me. I offered to pay for the burger even double or triple for it but my DM could not see it any other way and canned my ass. O well. FML

Seems a gray area to me. It's bullshit to be fired for such a trivial thing, though since you got your raise, wouldn't you have been able to afford to purchase the cheeseburger?

It's not about the cheeseburger, it's about sending a message.

I worked at Wendysnfor 4 years while in high school and for a little while after. Worst employer ever. Wont even let a hardworking employee get a meal if you dont have any money. They told me i should be smarter with my money instead of blowing it. (I was living with roomates paying bills and trying to survive on min wage. ) wendys sucks!! (although i still would choose their food out of any ff places.)
