Owner Fires Waitress Who Sheltered Dog in Cafe, Mops Floor in Her Own Vet Clinic Later – Story of the Day
No one is going to hire me now! A young girl thought to herself after her boss fired her. She was poor and desperately needed a job to make ends meet, but she had no idea that the man who fired her would soon work for her.
Kelly was an energetic young woman, an animal lover, and a kind human. She enjoyed spending time with cats and dogs at animal shelters and bought them treats once a month.
After her parents passed away, the 24-year-old couldn’t continue studying at college. Instead, she dropped out midway and worked as a waitress at a local restaurant to make ends meet.

“I’ll drop him at the animal shelter, sir. Don’t worry,” Kelly assured him.
“I don’t care what you do with this dirty street dog!” Luke snarked. “You’re fired! Don’t bother coming to work tomorrow!”

Kelly was shocked that Luke fired her because she saved a dog from dying. She desperately needed a job to make ends meet, but it seemed like she had to look for another one now.
“I’ll make sure other restaurant owners don’t hire you!” Luke yelled.
“Not even to wash the floors!”
Kelly looked at him in disbelief. “I’m sorry, sir,” she apologized.
“You don’t deserve to be trusted! I’ll use my contacts to...
