The manager instantly understood what was going on after hearing Jacob's remark, and he thought to himself, 'So, Hannah clashed with customers, shouted at them, and even lied to my face in front of the customers! This is simply outrageous! If I kept her here for the job, I wonder how many customers she will offend next, and it may end up dragging me down too! No! I must get rid of her now!'
Thinking of this, the manager said in a stern voice without hesitation, "Hannah Wilson, I hired you to work as a temp here, but I didn't expect you to mistreat customers! I don't think you are suitable for the job. Give me the cashier keys now, take off your vest, and leave!” 3
Hannah felt as if her world had crumbled upon her!
She thought to herself, 'I came here early in the morning to look for a job, and I’ve been working so hard all morning! It’s almost lunchtime, and I was looking forward to going to the staff canteen and enjoying my free lunch, but I was fired! In this case, not only do I have no lunch, but I will also lose the 150 dollars paycheck!'
At this point, she cried and begged, "Manager, please don't fire me, please! I need this job to support my family!"
She grabbed the manager's arm and said with a
sobbing voice, "Please, my husband and my son are both paralyzed, and they've been lying at home without a bite to eat since yesterday! They are waiting for me to earn some money to buy some food! Please, I beg you! Please have mercy and spare me this time! I won't do it again!"
The manager said in disdain, "Hannah, you're so excellent at making up stories! Here you said the customer is your brother-in-law, and now you're telling me your husband and son are paralyzed?! What era is this now? Are you Little Orphan Annie? It's impossible that you're so unlucky! Stop bluffing!"
Hannah cried, "No, I didn't bluff at all!"
