Today, I got fired from my job as a seafood manager because an entire wedding group came in and started yelling at me, saying the shrimp was horrible and I ruined their wedding. They showed me the leftovers; they never cooked them. They fed raw shrimp at a wedding dinner party. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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, I was verbally abused by a customer because her entrée was too fishy. I'm not the chef, just the waiter, and I work at a fish grill. FML
Today, I got food poisoning from my wedding food. FML
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
Today, I was fired from my catering job for pointing out the unsafe food conditions. I'm studying food safety in college. FML
Today, I was preparing a customer's meal in my restaurant's kitchen, when I choked on my own saliva and went into a coughing fit. The head chef, who's always hated my guts, accused me of trying to hock a loogie into the meal and fired me on the spot. FML
Today, my family went out to dinner at a seafood restaurant. While we were eating our food, my grandma demanded to see the manager, and loudly complained that her fish was "too fishy". FML
Today, I went on a blind date with a guy at a seafood restaurant. I explained to him that I am deathly allergic to shrimp. When the waiter took my order, he interrupted me and said, “She’ll have the shrimp," while looking me dead in the eye. FML
Today, at my prestigious sous chef job, I was preparing to plate up expensive entrees for a function of 150 people. After arriving to work 2 hours early to finalize finishing touches, they call the restaurant 5 minutes before their booking stating, 'We can't be bothered anymore, sorry.' FML

Fresh seafood has a very mild odour, not smelly really. Old seafood however...

Ugh. Facepalm. Of course this happened in America. And in Texas nonetheless!

I'd say sue your company, they had no right to fire you because these people are too stupid to know that shrimps are to be cooked. It's clearly unfair dismissal. Gee honestly, I know having a business is difficult but how sad is it that you'd rather get rid of an employee than explain to the customer that they were at fault?

If TX is a right to work state, OP can't sue for wrongful termination unless it was based off of discrimination.

Um well you are the manager.. It's your job to make sure you either don't have such incompetent employees or are around to fix their mistakes. Sorry op but I voted on both!

Apparently they thought you were a caterer and thus didn't realize they had to cook it but I would think seafood place means I have to cook it myself

Yeah, no kidding right?

How is that your fault that they didn't cook it?

I thought the taste of raw fish was reserved for the groom on the wedding night?! Be proud, OP, you managed to give everyone a little sample of what he'll be enjoying! Good job!

So your boss fired you because the customer was't smart enought ot cook the shrimp. Sounds like your boss is as big of an idiot as the customer.

The boss isn't necessarily an idiot, just inconsiderate for being unwilling to stand up for his/her employee. The whole wedding party may be morons, but if they are locals then the business requires their spending, plus one-sided bad word of mouth would be worse for business, so financially it's better to shift blame to the terminated employee to try and placate them, but completely amoral and unfair.
