Do i have any rights in this situation?

i'm currently working temp jobs, i was working a warehouse job for 300 a week but took a job that payed a bit less but had better hours abd was closer

i only left my then current temp job after i had been told that i had the job at the new place, i spent the last of my money on a pair of saftey boots and turned up to work today to be told that there had been a mistake and too many temp workers had been hired and i didn't have the job after all

i have no money, no job and i can't even afford transport to a job interview if i get one hell i'm going to be eating nothing but baked beans

surely a fuck up like this shouldn't happen, i was in a job and turned down another job plus an interview for this place, would there be anything i can do? or can companies just fuck people over like that and consider it a lesson learnt?

iin? has anyone else had an experience like this?

    I'm sorry that happened to you. What country are you in? Depending on that you may have some rights and/or access to free or cheap legal advice

    I don't think theres anything you can do if you wanted to try you would need a lawyer and those cost money so sadly I think your out of luck. That really sucks.

        Even being cautious you can still run into problems. Good luck.

    Oh man sucks to be you.

    You could always eat humble pie and ask for your old job back.
