Today, I got a write-up because I told my boss that it was impossible to have pies, which have a bake time of 1 hour, ready for a customer who wanted them in the next 15 to 20 minutes. Then, when the customer got there and the pies were still in the oven, I got a second write-up for wasting time. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came in to work early at a restaurant to help out. I stocked, baked pies for the next day, cleaned and set over 50 tables, and vacuumed the entire two stories. When I went to send an order for the first customer of mine, I realized I hadn't even clocked on. Four and half hours of work wasted. FML
Today, my boss threatened to fire me. Why? An old lady spent 30 minutes looking at our menu before asking for "cottage pie." After telling her that it wasn't an item on the menu, she spent another 20 minutes deciding. She then asked for several more items we didn't have, then complained to my boss. FML
Today, a customer filed a complaint against me because my coworker took too long to do a price check. I hate my job. FML
Today, while working as a barista, a customer yelled about her muffins and butter not being ready since she only had a "short time to eat". There were 7 tip giving customers ahead of her, but I rushed her order. She gave no tip and stayed for over an hour. FML
Today, I got written up because I took a dump at work that lasted longer than 5 minutes, and I didn't punch out for it as a "paid break." FML
Today, I arrived at work and was immediately given a disciplinary write-up for being two hours late for my shift. Apparently the manager had changed my schedule that morning and failed to tell me. FML
Today, I got written up for “making a big show” of being exhausted at work. I was trying to hide it. FML
Today, my manager told my shift that if we didn't have the quota filled for cinnamon rolls by tonight, we were all out of a job. One of the machines we use to wrap cinnamon rolls just started acting up. We also aren't allowed to take over time. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for leaving on time. After months of management hounding us about our overtime, I get in trouble for doing what I was supposed to do. FML
Today, I got called into work on my day off. I ended up being written up for being 15 minutes late to a shift I didn't even have. FML

Your boss doesn’t know how long it takes to bake a pie?

He is like a general store manager with no bakery experience

Isn’t it common sense? If someone with pie experience says it takes a hour to bake, why wouldn’t you believe them? That doesn’t sound like an unreasonable time span.

Your boss is clearly "Baked" himself.

I'd love to see the pee test to prove how baked!

Doesn't your boss know the basics of his own establishment? How can he write you up for stating a basic fact? Or TRYING to comply with her request. She needs to pick a ready made pie you can offer, or go to another store. Or turn the heat WAAAAAAYYYY up and burn the pie on pur -- I mean shorten the baking time!

If the job is worth keeping, I agree with others... fight it. If not, get a better job where the rules make sense ... not where they are made up for the boss’ convenience or mood swings.

Normally I would agree with you. But a job with a manager this stupid is not worth keeping. Unless it is the only job within an hour of home, and there are absolutely no other jobs at all. This is a job to quit. Before the manager writes OP up for starting their shift at the start of their shift or something equally ridiculous.

If there's an HR department, go there. But it sounds like you work for something smaller so I'd say the him to do his impossible shit himself and go with for the competition.
