No one got fired but my favorite story similar to this is from back when I worked in fast food (McDonald’s).
We had someone on their first day scoff when asked to roll breakfast burritos.
Toward the end of their shift she was asked to wash dishes and at that point she took off her apron, threw it on the floor and walked out saying things like “I can’t believe they have me doing stuff like this.”
Really? You can’t imagine preparing food and washing dishes in a fast food restaurant?
When I worked at a movie theater, I was showing a new hire how to prepare pretzels. After I sprayed a little mist on them and was dribbling some salt over them, he said something along the lines of, “Man this is too much,” took his vest off, and went to find a manager to hand it to.
Tbf when I worked at BK they told me everything I would be doing as a line cook. When I started my shift the first thing the supervisor told me to do was clean the washrooms. I told them no, I was hired as a line cook and no one told me about washrooms. So the supe says I can clean them or he’ll get the manager involved and I’ll probably be fired. I said sure call him. Supe comes back and tells me to start in the kitchen. Turned out line cooks were not supposed to be cleaning washrooms and the manager came in the next day to explain everyone’s duties.
But later turned out that supe was going out with one of the cashiers.
I worked at a BK too as a shift manager and that place was a zoo. Now whenever I go to a BK I notice the same problems: severely understaffed, manager stuck working multiple “team” positions, etc. BK sucks; their entire operations are light years away from where McDonald’s was at.
Not to say one or the other has better food. McDonald’s is faster and more efficient because they limit the amount of prep necessary, but a FRESH Whopper tastes much better than anything McDonald’s sells (IMO).

Oh that is hilarious. I always wonder what people like this expected would happen.
