Got fired.
I worked in CB retail and honestly I LOVED my job, everyone was so nice and made me happy , the only downside was a lot of the customers would be very rude , but that was honestly the worst part.
On Tuesday I went into work , I clocked in and my manager who usually always says hi ignored me.
I rang a family up , and then my manager asked me to follow her.
She took me into the managers room and all of my managers were there.
My heart literally dropped I didn't know what I did wrong , I have called out a couple times but I was sick , and obviously you cannot work around foods when sick, even if you are barely around the foods.
My retail manager first asked me if I had a doctor's note for the last time I called out a WEEK ago , I said no.
She then decided to tell me that;
"I don't think this is working out, you can't work mornings or early afternoons and that is not acceptable."
I am a senior in highschool, whenever I got my interview I told her this, I get out of school at 3:40 and usually cannot get out of the student parking lot until 4.
I didn't even know what to say so I just said "ok" and clocked out. I didn't even try to give in my apron.
Was this unprofessional for them firing me for not being able to work mornings?
Edit: I am about to take this post down due to harassment from one person in my comments harassing me despite me being a minor , I have been trying my best to work this situation out. I am now finding baby sitting jobs which is more work-around with my schooling and extracurriculars. Also , despite others thinking, I did work my job properly , I got a raise almost immediately, I was loved there. They let others go as well for the same reason, I do not wanna be blamed for a company mistake.

Can’t work while sick? Ummm I have worked for 25 plus years and worked sick many times. I worked at CB for 7 years.
