What made you say to yourself "I can't be here anymore"?

18year old working at McDonald's during the senior year of high school. Worked there for 2 years. I would rush to work on the other side of the city after a long day of AP/honors classes to be at work on time. I'd close and come home around midnight, wouldn't fall asleep until 2am because of homework. Wake up at 4am -5am and slept on the train ride to school sometimes.

One evening on a school night as I was closing, a customer was in a bad mood because of the price of her daughter's Happy Meal. She didn't think it was that expensive. Whatever, I didn't really care and the little girl looked hungry so I gave her a two-cheeseburger meal for the same price. I put her daughter's cheeseburger in a Happy Meal box and even threw in a toy. No thank you or anything. Okay, whatever, I had to get back to cleaning.

The mom comes back and tries to attack me because her daughter didn't get the "right toy". All captured on camera. My manager came out of the office to see what the ruckus was about and she made up lies about how I threw her change at her (umm, she was short to begin with) and disrespected her.

My manager gave me a stern talk about how the customer is always right and tried to suspend me. Lucky for me I knew this wasn't right so I called the franchise office up the next morning and told them to check the recordings. Which they did with said manager in tow and even invited me to sit down in the office while they watched. I ended up getting overtime that week and a .25 cent raise.
