Gelato: Briefest term of employment ever

After a long depressing job search I landed a position at a place called simply Gelato. I would work by myself much of the time standing behind a register making coffee drinks and serving up cups of gelato.
I showed up for my first day and the woman who ran the place gave me a quick tour of the cash register. She then told me she had to go call my references! What the hell? Isn't that done prior to hiring? I had only listed references I was relatively sure of, or so I thought. As she left me alone at the register I began to wonder what kind of reference I'd get from Greta's. I deserved a bad reference but I figured Greta would be "cool" and give me a good one. The fact that she had said no to hiring me back had me unsure.
I sold a cup of gelato and notice about $300.00 sitting in the register. I seriously considered grabbing it and splitting. My morals got the better of me and the money was still in the register when Ms. Gelato informed me that I couldn't work for her.
"I can't believe you wasted my time like this! You don't call someone's references after you train them. What is wrong with you? I want to be paid for the 30 minutes of my life you wasted!" (It was probably closer to fifteeen.) As I said this I realised I was yelling at the woman for about four bucks max. I took off my apron threw it on the ground and walked out the door. I lived only two blocks away which gave me two blocks to walk until I could cry in the safety of my own bedroom. Things began to feel very hopeless.
