Today, I started my first day at work, I've been unemployed for a while and am in college, so naturally I have no money. At the end of my shift, I ask what we do with the extra bread, and they tell me to throw it away. Being poor and hungry, I decide to take the bread home. I got fired for stealing. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my house was broken into. I'm really poor and don't have a television or nice clothing, so they just dumped my trash all over the house and stole my one loaf of bread that was supposed to last me for the week. FML
Today, I went into work. After three years of working 55 hours a week, they fired me by putting the contents of my locker at the front door, with a note that said "If not picked up by 10:00 am stuff will be donated." I work the night shift. I just lost three sweaters, two pairs of shoes, $60, and my job. FML
Today, it was my first day on a £600 a week job. I was fired for being 10 minutes late. FML
Today, while working at McDonald's, I was pulled into the manager's office and informed that I'd been caught stealing money from the safe. When I told them to show me the security footage, they refused and fired me on the spot. FML
Today, I was in a bad mood after being stuck in traffic for 2 hours and late for work. I was walking to my building when I saw a 100 dollar note flying my way. A man called after me for it, but being selfish I took the note in my pocket as a little reward. That man was my boss. Yes, I'm fired. FML
Today, I was so ashamed of being broke that instead of asking my parents for money, I snuck into their house while they were at work to steal some of their food. FML
Today, my financial situation is so dire that I tried to steal toilet paper from work. I got caught. FML
Today, on my first day of work, I got fired after 45 minutes. FML
Today, my boss fired me by locking me out of my workplace after I went out to throw out the trash. FML
Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML

You should have just asked if you could have it.

You should've asked first. Some places have very strict policies about things like that, but they may have said yes if you had asked. Technically, you WERE stealing.

that sucks but you should have waited a couple days before you took stuff from them. Eyeball and see what the situation is, not just do what you want on day 1.

He's unemployed > has no money > meal plans cost money

YDI. Some companies have that policy for ethical reasons. They don't want employees to purposefully make too much bread and there by getting to take it home.

Honestly you thought that would be ok? If you supervisor/manager told you what to do with a product that's what you do with it. "What do you want me to do with this bread?" "Throw it out" "I'm just going to steal it instead"

I think most people believe that once a person or company decides that something is garbage, they've pretty much forfeited their ownership of it, and therefore it can't be stolen from them.

YDI it should be obvious that you can't take it home with you. Should have asked first.

Everyone keeps saying this is a common rule in the food industry. I've never had to work around food, so I've never heard of it. Seems pretty stupid to fire someone over taking garbage from work.

I work in a grocery store and once my boss had me throwing out expired ice cream bars, I asked him if I could have one, he said no. Meanwhile there was a homeless person reaching up into the garbage taking all the ice cream.
