Unfair dismissal
Today, I was let go without warning at work. Why? Because my boss saw some comments I'd posted. Nothing I'd said was offensive or controversial, but he said he didn't care, because he didn't agree with it and didn't want me to "smear" the company name. I represent the company? I just serve coffee. FML

Today, I was fired from my job. My boss claimed it was because I smelled like alcohol, never mind the fact that my job was brewmaster at a beer company. FML

Today, at work, a customer ordered a caramel latte with no caramel. I made a regular latte after explaining that’s what it was. He got angry and threw it at me. I got fired for insulting his intelligence. FML

Today, my boss found out that my girlfriend dumped me. He asked if that meant she would no longer bring her delicious homemade cookies to the office. When I said yes, he fired me on the spot. FML

Today, my boss fired me because his girlfriend wanted the job I had. She has no experience whatsoever in my line of work, it was just his "anniversary present" for her. FML

Whoops
Today, I was late for work and got chewed out by my boss. To console myself I decided to drink a cup of coffee and a cup of tea. My work provides this for free. When I did, my boss told me that in fact it wasn't, nor has it ever been, free; all this time I've been stealing other people's coffee. FML

Today, at work, I was fired from my job for being too "forward" to my boss. All I did was get him coffee and a biscuit from McDonald's to celebrate his 15-year anniversary working there. FML

Could there possibly be an underlying reason that might not have been disclosed? Not to suggest people haven't been fired for less but coffee beans? Seriously? Are you in charge of $10,000,000.00 international contracts for Starbucks or something? I could see how an accidental obligation for 20 tons of Columbian dark roast could be worthy of getting canned if it was supposed to be a light roast from Equador.

as long as coffee wasn't part of the job requirement, you should report him. if it was, YDI

It might have been the final straw. Perhaps the OP fails at detail orientation, or ordered Kope Luac instead of Folgers and destroyed the budget for the year?

Today, I went to my local Starbucks for a simple cup of coffee. I was unable to get one because some douchebag ordered the wrong coffee beans. I hope he gets fired. FML

Maybe he was testing you. He wanted to see if you knew his favorite coffee. Apparently you....failed.

he was probably trying to find a reason to fire you.

well if you can't manage to get the right coffee, your more than likely not going to be able to handle the bigger jobs, therefore you aren't needed in that company. learn to take better directions next time
