Add Comment Question: I've worked as a server in this restuarant for almost 2 years now. I left the building and forgot to pay for a cheesecake. They called me back and fired me on the spot. Can I collect unemployment? Should they have given me more notice ? Answer: Hello, and thank you for your question. If your former employer has taken the position that your employment was terminated for cause, this could prevent you from obtaining employment insurance payments. Simply forgetting to pay for a cheese cake, in and of itself, almost certainly does not amount to just cause and you are likely owed notice of termination, or pay in lieu of notice.
