A guest claimed i was rude to her and her husband while I was serving them. I dealt with their utter distaste for me with a smile and management was aware. I got called in early for a chat with my boss before my shift and he fired me. Didn't even care to hear my side, nor did he have any proof. I has worked for this restaurant for 2 years and was a lead server and always had the most positive guest feedback...do I have a case for wrongful dismissal?

The threshold for a cause termination is very high, and not easily met by an employer. There is generally an obligation for employers to follow a system of progressive discipline before terminating an employee for performance issues.

If this was an uncommon occurrence, it would likely not be grounds for termination.

We would need more information before advising on the extent of your possible claim.
