    There was a burger on the menu that was dedicated to the owners daughter’s dead boyfriend who died crashing into a tree while drunk. It got a peperoncini stabbed on the top bun.

    A coworker forgot the peperoncini on the burger which sparked him to ask about why it was on the burger. It led to a rabbit hole of finding out he was the owners daughter’s dead boyfriend and my coworker asked why we were celebrating a guy who died like that not knowing who he was to the owner and her daughter.

    It’s the dumbest reason I’ve ever been fired since I was only tangentially involved.

      I’m either misreading this or confused. You asked the coworker or you were the one explaining it to the coworker? And got fired for explaining it?

      That seems like an open shut wrongful dismissal case, but I really don’t know what the labour laws are in your end of the world

      That really sucks, but when you said “pepperoni stabbed into the top bun” I can only picture a slice of the cold meat slapped onto the top of a burger with a skewer holding it.

      Like, does the wooden skewer represent the tree he hit and the slice of pepperoni represents the meat pancake his drunk ass turned in to? That’s pretty fucked up.
