after 3 years at sonic i got fired for eating a 1/2 price burger on burger night July 15, 2008, 02:27:29 AM also for not wanting to work more than a 65 hour week and for walking across the street to SUBWAY everyday since my GM took away our 50% discount on our food.So whats this world coming to a guy getting fired for eating a burger at cost and working for a place for 3 years and 1 day???To bad they still owe me a week vaction time to collect thats a 40 hour week and i only was working 35 hours this week unless i worked other peoples hours.Got a interview on WED with another place 1 hour before i went to work today. Thank god and i also ate a whole meal today for the 1st time in 50hours because snacking does not count and i did not eat sonic even if i had to. Quote Selected

after 3 years at sonic i got fired for eating a 1/2 price burger on burger night Reply #4 – July 15, 2008, 09:55:56 AM Unless there was a signed contract, they don't have to give 2 weeks notice to fire someone. So, sorry, no severance pay. It's fast food, not a huge multi billion company. You'll be lucky to get the vacation pay they 'owe' you. I'm sure somewhere in their rules for working there it says something about not getting vacation time if you get fired. They usually cover their butts on things like that.As for being fired for eating a 1/2 price burger on burger night.... were you working at the time? Were you on your break at the time? Or were you grabbing a quick bite on the clock? Quote Selected

Man, I hated everything about that job - so I got my GED and went to night school, then normal college. Screw those idiots - worry about your personal growth. Quote Selected
after 3 years at sonic i got fired for eating a 1/2 price burger on burger night Reply #7 – July 15, 2008, 11:46:58 AM Things must work different in the states.In Canada it does not matter if it is a mom and pop shop or a multimillion dollar buisness,if they cannot show that they have 2 written warnings against you and they let you go, then they owe you by law.Not sure if you have a labour board but if so i would call them,they will tell you the laws in your area, i have filled with them twice on two different companies and they have both had to pay vacation and severance, plus they where put under investigation as they could not prove just cause.Anytime they write you up or have a complaint against you, it must be written and signed by you or it counts for nothing,otherwise they could say whatever they wanted about you after the fact.If it's not signed,no proof.You are also entitled by law to your vacation pay as it is your money that you earned not a bonus that they give you.

after 3 years at sonic i got fired for eating a 1/2 price burger on burger night Reply #10 – July 15, 2008, 01:12:44 PM i know you guys don't live here heres a quote form someone that had went to my sonic many times see what they had to say its all good if i get the job tomorrow and a weeks paid vaction be fine with me.Umm, guys...I am not sure if any of you have ever been to Andrew's Sonic, but I lived and worked about a mile away from it for almost 2 years... i did not edit his post at all even if i don't like my nicknames.If you went up there and Pimpin was working, he was the one that answered when you hit the red button, he was the one that brought out the courtesy tray, and he was the one that brought you your food...FAST. Then when you left he was taking the trash outside and throwing it away while other people stood inside and jacked around. I have been to that Sonic before when Pimpster was not there and let me tell you it honestly does suck. I waited for a freaking drink for 15 minutes one time and finally got sick of waiting so I left. This was the norm when Pimpin wasn't there. If we pulled up and the Captain America warship wasn't parked there, we left and went elsewhere. Whether you like the Pimp or not, he really held that place together because he actually would work. Screw it pimp, go find a better job. That's a horrible reason to fire someone, I have a feeling you could sue that place and walk away with some $$$. Quote Selected
