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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

maybe they wanted shrimp cocktail and you weren't listening...

If their ignorance actually cost you your job, that is stretching it a bit, but you can probably get the entire group on slander for saying your shrimp was bad and not even cooking it. Sue for wage amounts until you find a new job.

Our seafood place has the option of raw or steamed/seasoned (they steam the raw you buy for free). Maybe the wedding party wanted steamed shrimp and was delivered the wrong thing. I would still blame the idiot who put it out at the wedding rather than the wholesaler but it is possible you screwed up their order. shrimp is usually not served raw, even in sushi dishes the shrimp is cooked, its delicate and goes bad too fast for most preparations. The bride, groom, their family and their friends must be beyond stupid for not ONE person to realize the shrimp was raw.

I've seen raw shrimp being eaten before. It's rare but does happen. The wedding party, though, are just idiots

How did you get fired for their stupidity. Sounds like they were not the only idiots in this situation. And I'm not implying you are, but somebody is.
