I actually had a guy come into a store I used to work in, he came around closing… guy would not leave until I heard his salespitch about the flat earth…
A week later I learned he called corporate who demanded I be fired over refusing to hear him out. Manager told me he had no choice, fire me or get fired and have the replacement fire me.
It worked out though, Travis eventually left and the new manager couldn’t get anyone to stay… when he found my old file and how long I stayed he offered my job back.
I had found something closer, easier, and higher paying so I just laughed the offer off. I love my new gig
So your manager, in a retail store, that presumably exclusively sold non-flat-earth items, caved to a whack-job who wanted you to be fired because you wouldn’t waste your productive work time listening to his whack-job bullshit (closing is almost always more than turning the lights off and locking up), and actually fired you?
Sounds like the manager did you a favor. He did have a choice… standing up for his employees agains unreasonable nonsense like that.
