Oh, honey, I'm sorry. :( I can kind of understand where your manager is coming from -- Red Robin has a very similar policy, to discourage people from pretending to be "sick" and then going to that concert for which they scored tickets and just not showing up. Restaurants are also a little needier than some other jobs, in that everyone else might die if they're one person short. (Okay, I'm exaggerating, but one person can make all the difference!)

In this case, though, I'm really surprised that, since you were injured and physically could not do the job, they were so unaccommodating. But no, it certainly was not your fault! I'm glad your day is over now, and I'm also glad you've decided to quit. It doesn't sound conducive to your sanity.

And oh oh oh, Into the Woods! That's one of my favorites. I got to be Cinderella's Mother aka the Tree in high school. I had a fabulous costume with branches attached to my arms, head, and coming out of my back, and I stood on a stool attached to a rolling cart, with my long, brown, velvety dress draped over it all, and the got dramatically wheeled out when it was my part. Have you seen the Broadway tape recording with Bernadette Peters as the Witch? Utterly fab. ♥
