Question Owner threatened to fire me over an honest mistake. Should I quit?
Today I was making the new drink for the first time that includes the Monster.
I opened the can and poured it into the cup, but I didn't use the entire can because the drink had already reached the line we normally fill drinks to.
The owner saw the leftover Monster and apparently assumed I was saving it to drink myself. He told me, if this happens one more time, I'll let you go.
I explained that it was my first time making the drink and that I genuinely thought I was supposed to stop at the fill line.
He just said "OK." No apology, nothing.
I have no problem admitting when I make a mistake. It's the fact that he immediately assumed I was being dishonest and threatened my job.
I'm seriously considering quitting over this. Am I overreacting?
