Sounds like the manager had some issues and this was a power-play on his part
Tell her to look on the bright side, better to get this kind of life lesson when you're not depending upon the job for a living.
I also was fired (layed off) from a job when I was 18. The store was doing poorly business-wise and what hurt was that the manager fired me before another employee that they hired after me because she liked the other girl better
I've had some really aweful managers over the years
I really appreciate the good ones now

This particular manager is filling in while the head manager is off on maternity leave, so yes, I would say he is on a power trip at the moment, that's why he isn't very well liked.

Angelina is back in the ranks of the unemployed. Angelina did a birthday party yesterday at work and was fired because the mother of the child who the party was for handed Angelina a tip. Angelina said she wasn't allowed to accept tips, but the mother insisted she take it and put it in her pocket. The manager on duty saw this and told Angelina she was no longer needed at the store.............

No warning...... I would be a little upset. She can think of it this way - it's a chance for better opportunities to come her way.

I'm really ready for it to be someone else's turn. I think my family has had enough in the last 6 months to last us the next 10 years!!!

Oh Monica so sorry to hear that you've had medical issues as well - hope things get better for you both real soon. Glad to hear about the Trevoy's progress. Hope you are able to take it a bit easy for awhile.

Poor Angelina. I hate it when employees get let go when it's not their fault. Too bad the customer wasn't around to stick up for Angelina. Hope she finds a new postion soon with a much better manager.

That's horrible. How is she taking it?

OK, 15 minutes 'til kickoff, so I'll make my call.

I want the Chargers to win. We became fans while living in San Diego. (SoCal Sing-a-long: San Di-ego super Chargers, San Di-ego Chargers). Unfortunately, I think they will get beat by the worst coach in Browns history, ummm, err, I mean Bill Belichick & the Patriots.

I want the Packers to win. During the few years of no Browns, I was a Packers fan. Gotta love Brett Favre, although I hate hearing about how old he is since he's only 3 years older than me.

I don't think I'll get my way today, but if I do, I may need to attach a lightning bolt to a cheesehead for the Super Bowl.

Happy Conference Championship Day everyone!

cool bag, thanks for the link

She's a trooper and is doing quite well. In fact, she spent the night at one of her (former) co-workers (Courtney) house. Courtney was working when the axe came down on Angelina, and I think Courtney was more upset than Angelina. I guess the girls stayed up late because Angelina is knocking out some ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ's right now.............

Andy, I am really sorry to hear that this happened to Angelina. It sounds as though she is taking it quite well. I agree with Laurie that on some level this might be a good lesson to learn about management, sadly.
