This happened years ago to me, and I thought it fit here, so here goes.

Years and years ago I was working for a fast food restaurant. I was a crew trainer, and part of the crew trainer training was watching some videos talking about your responsibility. One of those responsibilities was called coaching. If you see someone, even a manager (it actually said those words on the video) doing something incorrectly, you were to coach them on the correct procedures. I'm sure you can see where this is going.

So flash forward some time and I was working with a manager nobody liked. I witnessed the manager do something wrong, specifically, she poured out 2 medium fries to make a large fry to give to a customer. That was a big no no. BIG BIG no no. You were never suppose to take an already packaged item and use it to make smaller or larger packages.

So, queue MC, and next time I saw the manager I simply said to her that what she did was wrong, and that she should have waited for fresh fries to finish cooking.

Well, she looked at me and said that "I am a manager and I don't have to follow the rules! Go and clock out now and go home!"

So I did. I went and punched out, grabbed my jacket, and started walking out of the store. She came up behind me and said "I want to talk to you before you go!"

I turned and said "Sorry, you had me clocked out, I'm no longer working and you can no longer keep me here to talk, you should have done this before I clocked out." and I walked out the door.

She tried to get me in trouble and fired. Tried to claim that I walked off the job. Tried to claim that she never told me to clock out. However, there were too many witnesses to the whole ordeal and she couldn't get her way. Too many of my friends I worked with told the store manager my story was 100% accurate and she was lying. I have no idea why he kept her after this but he did.

I ended up quitting a few months later because she made my life hell every time I worked with her. Then later she got fired for trying to get the store manager fired, so in the end she lost.
