So I just lost my job...
So I've been working as a busboy at this semi fancy italian place down here in Montreal, had been going really well (I thought), I work with cute girls, I work hard, show up pretty much on time, don't call in sick very often, get along with the staff.. It was a good gig.
I had a lot of respect for the manager of the restaurant, he would give me advice, usually he had a pretty cynical tone, but that's just his personality.. Anyways today everything seemed to be going well but I had to take an important call about the gig I'm playing this evening so I was in the back, bagging the bread we give out to tables while simultaneously... then he comes in looks at me, asks me if im on the phone (why do people even ask lol) then tells me to punch out and come see him.
He told me he tried to teach me, didnt work out, (I'd been there a month and when I started I had no experience in the position) told me if I needed a reference to call him and that was that...
I asked if he could give me some more insight, for myself, he said
"By law I dont even have to"
Then I went downstairs, the super hot bartender kamaiah asked me if i was going home, i told her i was fired, then watched like 5 jaws drop open from other staff that was around...
i really liked working there. 
he fired someone else yesterday for pretty much no reason either, or at least thats how it seemed to us.. I know business is pretty low right now downtown compared to what they expected- maybe he was just waiting for something.. i dunno, but getting fired is stupid.
welp, at least i can go nuts this weekend knowing I have no work monday

Sorry to hear that but not this weekend though.
Perhaps he didn't even like you from the offset and was looking for the first excuse he could find to get rid of you.
Although he does seem like a tosser. Good riddance.
i'm sorry about that, allied!!!
i'd be pissed off if someone did that to me. what kind of boss does something like that? do you think you did something to make him dislike you?

Damn, more competition for me
If someone doesn't appreciate your work then you're better off somewhere else! look at it from the positive side!
you had a job ? what is a busboy ? is it kind of a transformer ?
anyways it seems like it was based on slow business
i'd fire you as well
Let's get to important matters Allied.
Did you get Kamaiah's number before you were booted?
the guy was just a cack and it shows, you're better off man
besides, now you got the experience and I'm sure you can find a job
at a better place with a hot manager AND bartenders...plus..like you said:
go nuts this weekend! vodka shots!! 
it has to be something else as well, seems to me .. He did say "i tried to teach you" - so what other mess-ups did you have before that?
This dude doesn't EVEN know about BCF! 
NOW how are you gonna pay to go on your PRECIOUS little trips? MUAHAHAHAHHAHA
no more travelling for you little boy
A busboy is an assistant to a waiter or waitress, mainly specializing in setting and clearing tables in restaurants with table service.
At an upscale restaurant, they may bring the introductory foods, for example tortilla chips and salsa in a Mexican restaurant or bread in an Italian restaurant. The busboy may also serve drinks and sweep the floor under the tables. Occasionally, they also perform extra duty for the waiter as an assistant to the waiter.
In most smaller family diners, the busboy is responsible for washing the cutlery (also known as silverware in the U.S.) and dishes and stocking the kitchen and waitress stations. The most popular method of organization is for the busboy to be assigned a station, or area of tables, which he or she shall serve. Typically, a busboy receives a fraction (ranging from 10-30%) of the tips from the station in which they worked during their work shift as well as a separate, fixed payment or wage.
Sucks being fired, but good luck finding a better job
