FordGT_350's journey

I was just let go from Sam's Club before my orientation, which was scheduled for 9 a.m. this morning. I had been hired last Thursday for a position in the produce department. As I was getting ready to head into work, I received a call from the orientation coordinator. They informed me that I had accrued 9 attendance points, which led to my termination. This was surprising since it wasn't even 8:30 a.m. yet, and I hadn't even started my first shift. I understand that I live in an at-will state, but this feels incredibly unfair. I have never worked for Sam's Club before, although I did have a job at Walmart two years ago. I'm left wondering how I could have possibly incurred attendance points before even beginning my employment.
