You pegged the manager right, he is a douche.
Can you talk to the owners about it?

Give, expecting nothing thereof. ------------ BoD - Come have some fun! Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.

Actually it was the owner who fired me on the word of the manager. I was just sleeping (it's 7pm I've been up since 11pm last night.) and I got a call back - the boss saw my email that the manager neglected to share, and called to apologize about the miscommunication and tell me how he'd never have fired me if he knew that, and said to call back Tuesday and let him know how I'm doing and such.
Basically I'm not fired anymore but I think I may play the "I'm afraid of the daaark" card and get a new job that doesn't require me to travel two hours each way.
Edit: The boss and his wife (or boss and her husband, depending on how you look at it) are two of the nicest people out there. I knew it was out of character for him to just let me go, but I was a bit spacey thismorning. This is the email I sent them 6 hours ago, before going to sleep and stuff, and probably the reason the called me back. Also how do you hide things with a button? Can't figure it out.
Hi *****, I don't wish to bother you with this since it was ***** who called me, but would you mind forwarding me his email address? I'd like to know if ***** forwarded the email I sent him at 4am, just so I understand if you know about what happened. I understand being let go for not going to my shift, but I assumed being knocked out and mugged would be a good enough reason to walk home (minus my jacket and metropass) in the freezing cold instead of going to work.
If you knew about that and let me go anyways, I would just like to say thank you for the opportunity to work for you again, and I don't hold anything against either one of you. You're still ranked up there as the best bosses I've had.

I would check with someone in the know on the rules governing getting EI. You likely would have no issue with getting it for not going back due to the mugging. Still they may put a hassle saying that you could have tried to get a shift that is not during the overnight hours.

Yeah, I used to work for these two before but when we moved to North York I left (gave them over a months notice) because the commute is too long. Then I had trouble finding work here, so I sent them an email and they said they need me for nights with a 6 month commitment. I had no choice between day / night shifts ._.
You live in Toronto as well, happen to know anybody hiring at this point in time Hans? Doesn't matter what type of work, I'm 21 and have done everything.
I am not working at the moment. The recession hit me hard, and I never qualified for EI since they took the employers word and stated I quit but they fired me. If I find something I will let you know if there are more openings.

As for EI I didn't qualify because I was...20 hours short of the 750 mark? So I was denied after being "Terminated Without Cause" from Kitchen Stuff Plus in Feb 2009. Man did that suck. That's when I started at the job I was just at now, then I left that and came back.
This just in: Got fired for not going to work because I was mugged.
If you are so inclined, share the name of the business. It would be a shame is anyone who frequents the boards accidentally wasted their money at this place.
