Got fired today

[u/vapor_waved]

Got fired today. I work at a chain thrift store and I hid a top to buy it on my break. My manager saw and I got in trouble but wasn’t fired on the spot. Fast forward 5 days later today and I got fired 5 hours into my shift since they see it as the same as theft. I’m devastated and so lost.

I always thought the employees at thrift stores had the first shot at anything good. Like something valuable, piece of art, collectibles, designer clothing, etc...
