The dollar store manager who got famous on the Internet for spraying Febreze in the face of an alleged shoplifter ... is now famously unemployed.
Gavyn Edlinger, the manager at Family Dollar in Saginaw, Mich. tells TMZ he was canned six days after the confrontation. Edlinger called the incident an unfortunate scene and claims the mother of one of the girls in the video called the store to apologize. He says he tried to have the video taken down, but when the guy refused ... he decided to just own it.
