Today, I was fired from the restaurant I work at because I missed my shift. I missed it because I was in the hospital for food poisoning from the meal I ate at work last night. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was training for my new job at a restaurant. As part of training, they give you free food so you know what to recommend, and the dish I got was really good. Eight hours later I saw it again while I was puking. I got food poisoning from my own workplace. FML
Today, I didn't feel like cooking when I got home from work, so I decided to go to the local restaurant nearby and do my part in supporting small businesses. Long story short, I woke up later feeling like absolute shit. Hello, food poisoning. FML

OP wasn't fired for "no stated reason", OP was fired for missing work. OP was in the hospital and was unable to go to work. The are grounds for wrongful termination here, even if it's "at-will" employment. OP should take their case to someone higher up, like the owner or regional manager and ask to be reinstated. Sue? Likely not worth it.
