Please fire me. My boss complains to me regularly about how the customers in the grocery store I work at are cold because the automatic doors get jammed open. I work outside pushing shopping carts in freezing temperatures, rain, snow, or whatever other weather there might be, and when I go in the store I start to sweat from the heat. First, I don’t know how to fix the doors, so I don’t know what she expects me to do about it. Second, don’t these people understand that it’s cold in the winter? They should have dressed warmer than shorts and a t-shirt.

Please fire me. I work as a massage therapist at a well known spa chain. Our owners and managers have been trying to get us to up sell our clients, when the therapists were hired with the understanding that sales are not our problem. Despite that, they’ve been pushing us to try and sell all our clients “enhancements.” Today I came in and something was posted over the schedule (which I NEED to see to know when I have clients, and for how long). One of the people with nothing better to do than pester the therapists to “do more” when we’re already exhausted had printed a “notice” for us. This notice told us we all needed to sell 5 more enhancements and ended with the sentence “Failure to do so will result in public floggings in the town square.” I only had 2 clients today due to a meeting being held halfway through my 5 hour shift. We’re told to promote a positive and healthy attitude, clearly giving us the threat of being publicly beaten will do just that.

Please fire me. It was lunch time and I was ready to take a much needed break from a hectic day and get some food. I walked into the office kitchen area and was confronted by a piece of human shit. On the floor. In front of the microwave. I spent the rest of the day playing Sherlock Holmes trying to figure out who pooped on the kitchen floor.

Please fire me. A customer came in and yelled at me that he was reporting us to the state because all 3 parakeets he has bought from our store had died. Upon further inquiry, he admitted he neglected to feed them anything. When told that parakeets need food to survive, he was shocked and told me I should have told him that when he bought them.

Please fire me. I sell concessions at a movie theater. No one has been in my line for the past three hours so I sit down for half a second, and a group of teenage boys walks up and yells, “Break time is over, lady!”

Please fire me. I am a security guard in a low-rent shopping mall. One of my first tasks of the day is to open the doors to retailers at 7:30 am so they can open their shops for 9 am. Every morning a group of women greet me when I open the first door on time, then follow me to the other three doors. At the final door they check their watches, tut and complain that I’ve opened it ‘late’ as it takes me eight minutes to get from the first to last doors. They then leave and don’t return until 7:30 the next morning.

Please fire me. I work as a cashier in a family restaurant and the other day I had an old couple come up and tell me that they would no longer come and eat because no one was controlling the screaming kids running around the store. I wasn’t aware that I was being paid minimum wage to take orders AND babysit.

Please fire me. I work at a movie theater in concessions, and a customer came in and demanded to see the manager. The manager walked over and while I was getting her popcorn and soda. She was complaining about how we didn’t have enough handicapped spots and she had to walk 10 minutes to even get there. We have no choice over how the parking lot is set up. As she was leaving, she said she would have to find a different movie theater. The kicker? We have plenty of handicapped parking - people are just assholes who decide to park in those spots anyway.

Please fire me. I work in pet retail as a dog trainer and cashier when I don’t have classes. A customer came up with over $400 worth of new things for her dog. She was snobby the entire time, looking at me over her obnoxious sunglasses (on a cloudy, nearly overcast day). I pull through with a smile and when I tell her to swipe her card, she goes to do it, stops mid-swipe, and say “No. You do it.” With a smirk on her face. I politely tell her our systems don’t allow us to do that and she stares hard at me. This woman then decides she doesn’t want any of this stuff and wants to go to the competitor. Yeah, bitch. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Please fire me. I work as a full time childcare giver and my client thought it would be funny to refer to me as a girl and introduced me to everyone as a girl. Within that week, everyone in the park (other sitters, parents, and even children) thought that I was either gender confused, lesbian, or just a girl. It took three months to clear up the misunderstanding.
