Art Sandusky Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 I was fired from my job at Movie Gallery today for selling porn to an 18 year old, who gave it to a 16 year old outside the store. The mother of the 16 year old threatened a suit against the company until the kid confessed and said that an 18 year old bought it for him, but I was still fired anyway, even after all suits and potential charges were dropped. I always had a feeling the company had it out for me from day one, but damn, they could have at least gotten me on something substantial that I could have, you know, controlled.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 You should just start distributing porn to minors, anyway. You'll make a mint.
TSA09 Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 That fucking sucks man. Did you see the 16 year old anywhere? If not, how the fuck would you have known who the video was for?
Art Sandusky Posted August 19, 2003 Author Report Posted August 19, 2003 Him and his friends were in the store sure, but they didn't go into the back room with him or anything. I had no real reason to think they had anything to do with it. Oh, and in South Carolina, employers can fire someone just for giving them a funny look, so no wrongful termination suits for me.
Guest Fook Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 Consider this a blessing in disguise. Now you no longer have to make minimum wage at a place where they treat you like shit. You can graduate to higher pay. You'll still get treated like shit though.
Rendclaw Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 After all, life is like a shit sandwich. The more bread you have, the less shit you have to eat.
Lord of The Curry Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 You have a (from what I can see) water-tight lawsuit against them. The question is whether or not you want to get dragged into court regarding this or do you want to get revenge by burning down the store?
Guest stardust Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 Technically, though, he probably wouldn't win it, as the company would probably cite employment at will, which means there is no contract between the employer and the employee and that the employee can be terminated at any time for any reason. On the flipside of that, it also means the employee can quit for any reason, too, and that the employer cannot keep him or her from doing so.
Guest The Old Me Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 That sucks man. On the way out you should have offered to pimp the 16year olds ass on th streets.
Guest college hobo Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 Rub it in their faces by applying at the porn store.

He got fired because he supposedly got in a fight with another employee. When he went for unemployment, they did an investigation on his firing and sent him a letter saying basically there was no reason for his firing, they just got rid of him to get rid of him. He took that to a lawyer who told him that even tho that was the case, he had no case because of "employment at will". Sorry about your job tho Kotz, but hopefully with the holiday season approaching you won't have to be unemployed that long.
Downhome Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 How much were you making at that store? A local one here wants to hire me, but they wont tell me how much they'll pay me untill I agree really, and I just want an idea.
Art Sandusky Posted August 19, 2003 Author Report Posted August 19, 2003 You get minimum. Run away. Far away. And Brendan, you're a GENIUS~! I should see if the porn stores around here are hiring.

Guest The Old Me Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 Most video stores only start at minimum, at least around here.

Corey_Lazarus Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 Do one better. Go beat off in the children's section.
River City Rocker Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 One better: defecate in the middle of the store. Strip naked. Chant in tongues and fling it at people.
Cran Da Maniac Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 Approaching? It's fucking AUGUST! Hey, with the way stores do now day, I'm suprised they haven't started it yet.
