My sister worked as a barista at an NYC Starbucks for awhile. She was fired for this interaction:
Rude Gentleman: This tea isn't HOT! I asked for hot tea, this is lukewarm, almost cold. Shannon: Sir, if you just wait a minute I can bring you another beverage, It'll be a minute though. RG: What? What's your name? I want to speak to your manager. Shannon: Sir, my name is Shannon Turner and you can say whatever you feel you need to say, I don't need this.
Subsequently that afternoon there was a meeting with her and the manager.
Manager: So, you can quit, we can fire you, or you can be transferred. If you are transferred, it will be uptown. Shannon: I don't care if you transfer me uptown, I don't care if you transfer me to Mars!
After that, she was fired. ;) I think you'll do better than that, at least.

hey beth, remember me? i was looking at my old lj and clicked on your username (outofcontext, an old journal) and it brought me to this one, which you still update! needless to say, it made me very happy as i am sitting in an office, alone, bored, and wanted to know what was up with your life. sounds like you are doing good things. i also added you on facebook. maybe we can catch up sometime.
