My employer gave my hours away out of spite, is this bad ethics and should I file for unemployment?
I quit my job in May. My employer asked me at 9:15pm after I was done my shift, to work the next day at 1:45pm. I told her my daughter had a doctors appointment at 3:00pm and I could come in when done. She asked if I could be there by 5:00pm. I said I couldn't state exactly what time but I would come in as soon as I was done. This is not my scheduled day, but I was willing to work. She stormed away mad, and gave my hours away to another employee out of spite. Is this bad ethics on my bosses part? Do you think I should file for unemployment? Please note; this is a restaurant that serves wine and beer in Florida. And she starts drinking around 5:30-6:00. So she acted this way while under the influence. And I spoke to her the next day and she still feels I was wrong.

Whether you boss acted ethically or not is immaterial. Employers, at least private employers that are not regulated in some fashion, in Florida are not bound by any ethical guidelines.
