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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was fired because my boss found out I had been looking for a new job. Then, I got a call from my only job prospect, saying I was overqualified and too young to work there as a waitress. FML
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 because I would "scare" the customers. Two days ago, a coworker spilled fry oil onto the grill, causing flames to singe my eyebrows and the front of my hair off. FML
Today, I got fired from my new waitress job after 2 shifts. They said I wasn't experienced enough to handle the fast pace. I thought I'd been doing well so I asked my friend who works there what really happened. Apparently not showing my boobs enough at a family place was grounds for dismissal. FML
Today, despite filling all the parameters for a model employee and being praised by multiple people over the time I was working, I was fired because a client complained to my manager that I didn't seem to know what I was doing. 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 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
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 without warning from my job because I was not consulting my boss about things like washing dishes and throwing away garbage. Basically, I was fired for being too good at my job. FML
Today, I was fired from my catering job for pointing out the unsafe food conditions. I'm studying food safety in college. FML

Servers can’t be fired because someone’s food didn’t come out right. You SERVED the food. You didn’t cook it. Get a lawyer.

Where I live, there's usually a time frame of a few weeks or months up to 6 months where you can be fired without any reason. As it was OP's first week, I'd assume it was something like that for her as well.

Everyone knows what servers do to the food of customers who are rude to them. Are we calling it "seasoning" nowadays? Nice!

In many states in America, anybody can be fired for any reason or no reason. It's actually easier to get rid of people without cause because you can challenge an unjust cause in court. Working people here are screwed.

It is a rather medieval and backward system in many areas of the U.S.

They can’t even fire the cook for that. Sorry this happened, but you only wasted a week w/ them. Let it be their loss
