Forced Labor

I went in to the place where I worked a few hours early, and when I got there my boss showed me that he had some new mattresses on sale there. He asked if I would help him move them towards the front of the store and I did, but then he asked me to keep working. In fact, he told me all sorts of things that he wanted me to do immediately... but since I wasn't scheduled to start work for another few hours, I told him that I couldn't do it.

At this point he got mad and started yelling at me and telling me that I was fired and to get out of the store. I started shouting back at him and grabbed my aluminum bat and headed towards the office where the managers and store owners were located.

I went in to all the rooms, but I couldn't find anyone with the authority to overrule my asshole boss, so I smashed my bat across someone's desk and told them that they had better find someone or there was going to be trouble. Right after that everyone ran out of the building and closed the store, leaving me sitting there alone waiting for anyone to handle this issue.
