Today, I was fired from my job because I would "scare" the customers. Two days ago, a coworker spilled fry oil onto the grill, causing flames to singe my eyebrows and the front of my hair off. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to take out the grease traps from our fryers. A very rude co-worker cut me off, so I had to abruptly stop and try to prevent as much spilling as possible. Luckily, it only spilled on me. I'm here for six more hours with burned, smelly, greasy spots all over my skin and clothes. FML
Today, I was fired from my job as a waitress, all because someone complained there was too much seasoning in their food. As I said, I'm a waitress. This happened the same week I was hired. FML
Today, a customer came in to the Pizza store where I work and complained that the food they had purchased had a strand of black hair in it. After some deliberation, my boss decided to fire me. He is the only staff member there with black hair. I shaved my hair 2 weeks ago. FML
Today, I work at a food joint as a chef, and a customer found a long strand of hair in her food. The manager blamed me, even though I'm bald. FML
Today, I was fired for being a very happy and perky employee. According to my boss, it freaks both the customers and my co-workers out. FML
Today, I was working at a local restaurant when another server's table called me over to ask if I've "ever killed anybody". They informed me I looked like a serial killer. I informed them, of course, that I have never killed anybody. Another customer claimed I scared her child. I was fired. FML
Today, I got fired from my job because I "look too grumpy." FML
Today, after 8 months of being belittled and treated like trash at my job as a prep cook in a high-end kitchen, I stood up for myself to the line cooks. Not only did everyone laugh at me, I got fired for causing a scene during service and insubordination. FML
Today, I slipped on a crayon a little girl threw on the floor, causing me to drop the tray of water I was carrying, making me spill it all over her. After getting cussed out by her mom, I was fired for making a customer unhappy. FML
Today, my workplace was issued aprons. I then became the first and only employee in the history of the business to set an apron on fire while using the grill. FML

Contact OSHA legally you cannot be fired for neither the incident at your workplace or for contacting OSHA. you should get your job back, or at least a fair compensation.

Update: The manager that fired me had apparently gotten served divorce papers earlier that day and all my friend at work stood up for me and went to the company owner and got my job back with an extra $4 and hour!!! I start on Wednesday :)

Glad it all worked out and then some, OP. I hope that manager got a talking to about firing you like that. I understand he's only human and under stress, but he shouldn't have taken it out on you.

That is highly illegal and I would sue. and they should be paying your medical bills for this as well. contact a lawyer asap. hope you recover quick.

Call the shop owner. Use the word "lawsuit" and watch how quickly they're going to be falling all over themselves.

its illegal to fire u for that, they should have compensated u if anything provide u with a different duty if necessary u should call a place for free legal advice and ask them if u are due anything, (causing u to lose your income due to actions other than your own, pain/injury), potentially so much more.
