Re:Fired For Drinking! Please Help
Blazin,
Give them a good week. Realize that they need to show that they do act when they catch someone underage drinking ... especially if they're an employee. If someone wanted to get even with them, they could tell the cops what happened and if the cops are having a slow day, the very least they'd do is harrass the owner. In other words, the owner/manager has got to at least put in a show that they're serious about policing minors in their club. And a good week lets them see if there's any fall-out from it.
As you've got a waitress friend there, simply ask her how common are hire-backs there. Also ask her to do some PR work on your part. Get her to tell the owner that you're all upset with yourself, that you know you did wrong, that you understand they had to do what they did, that you won't do it again if they take you back, and you're all depressed because you love working there and/or make good money there. If the club does hire-backs, your waitress friend will be able to tell you how that dance goes or will find out for you how it goes. Realize that it might need to be a bit public for show. Just do what is expected and don't make the mistake again. Most businesses are willing to give employees a second chance but few are willing to give them a third ... especially when you put into jeopardy their business.
However, audition at other clubs. It will do you good to get experience at them and who knows, you might like them better. Or you might appreciate your old one even more. Just don't count on getting your job back and audition elsewhere. If you do get it back, that's great. If not, you're moving on.
The key to maturity isn't getting older. The key is learning from one's mistakes and NOT repeating them. ;)

I would be willing to bet money that you could get your job back quite easily. All those posts about the fire-rehire thing are true. I met a dancer who had been fired from the same club over 5 times.
I also worked at a club that was robbed by their manager (not imbezzled-robbed) and they hired him back!
