So, I was let go of my smoothie-making-job today.

What happened was on Sunday, I had someone come in who wanted to the deal where if you put $25 on a gift card, you get a free Original smoothie. I do that, and then his friend wants a smoothie as well; that's all well and good. Total comes out to $27.05, and he tells me to put it all on the card.

I'm thinking he means the gift card, so I do that, but it's 95 cents short. I tell him, he gets confused, and I try to explain that there's not enough on the gift card.

I ended up getting in a panic because there were also a bunch of people in line that needed help, so I asked a co-worker to help sort everything out. We end up giving him the smoothies for free, and I tell my co-workers after that that I need to go out to calm down for a moment. I leave for a couple minutes, come back, and apologize for freezing up.

I figured everything was OK, but when I went into work today, the boss-man tells me "We need to talk", and takes me to the back office. Basically, he said that while he thinks I'm a devoted employee and hard worker, he can't have someone who will get stressed out in a situation like that, and that he had other employees that were now "unwilling to work with me" because of it. I thanked him for the opportunity, told him it was a pleasure and that I was thankful for the time there, and just... left.
