I just got suspended

Your mind had been elsewhere at the time, maybe in part from being stressed at work, tired, hungry -- anyone can make a mistake. If they cannot accept you as innocent (meaning you had no motive or intent to do wrong, you just had not been paying attention at the time) after you offer to repay for what you ate, etc. then maybe you should see this as a sign the time has come to move on.

It stinks to be thought of badly for something you did by accident. Hoping you will find support from friends or family at this time, people who really KNOW you.

Well, if you are so sick of this place all this may be a blessing in disguise. A few years ago I got laid off. I was devastated at the time, but a week later I was so thankful God got me out of that situation, because my boss was very mean to me. I will pray for God's will to be done in your situation!!

Got a call back today after asking my Union rep to harass them for me. I'm fired.

However, my boyfriend is going to set up a schedule at my old job at another store that he works at now, they've already told him I can come back. Also, it looks like I'll be getting my vacation paid out, which is more than I expected.

For those of you who don't want to support a company that treats its employees so shabbily, I was working for Roundy's. My boyfriend is already telling everyone he knows that they allowed my old manager a second chance after she picked food up off the floor and gave it to customers anyway, but I accidentally took $2 worth of food and I'm gone. I'm so tired of these giant corporations treating their wage slaves like crap while their corporate people sit around in their swivel chairs pretending they know what real work is.

I'm greatly appreciative of all your prayers, just knowing someone was on my side helped. I'm actually sort of relieved because if I had to go back to that job tomorrow I'd be... well, sort of depressed. I hated that job. Now I can go back to my old employer and make more money doing less work. Again, thanks for your prayers.

I'm sorry to hear this Chajara, how stressful I was accused of stealing at work once as well. I made a big error at my first job as a teen where a professional con artist tricked me out of money from my drawer. I had no clue until I was called to the office weeks later and had an interrogation with the security team trying to get me to admit taking all this money. It can be very stressful.

Glad the best may come for this situation with your update.

Praying about this - and the ADHD - too.

Ah, yes. Quickchange artists. My boyfriend got fired from a gas station job because he got nailed twice by one of those guys. He still feels badly about it. It's really sad that people will do something like that knowing it would cost some poor teenager his or her job when their drawer comes up short at the end of the day.

If I may, I have a new prayer request. I'm gonna head out and try to get a learner's permit today so I can finally get driving. Not gonna find a decent job if I don't get a license and a car. I'm studying the book now and I'm gonna look up the bus route in a second. Wish me luck!

EDIT: Got temps with no hassle.
