I worked at a pet shop for two glorious days not knowing that I was the backup in case the boss' nephew was accepted into his preferred college program. He was not accepted so I got the boot to make room for him on the team.

The manager doubled my first/ only paycheque because she felt bad. I'm still bitter 17 years later

Not sure where you live, but I find it pretty wild you can fire someone without notice with no egregious misconduct.
