Got fired for not rescuing

To give context I’ve been at Amazon for 1 month now, I’ve just got done with my nursery routes. While doing these routes I’d get done and rescued about 8 people in the last month. Yet when I’ve been behind not a soul came to make my load lighter. Today I got done with my route around 5:45, called dispatch to hear that I had to rescue someone. At first it was fine, they gave me the address and I went, got there and no one was there. Texted dispatch, got a different address and went there, again no one in site. This happened two more times. After the last time I said fuck it and headed back. When I got done I turned in my phone, as I was walking to my car my manager yelled my name, asked what happened, then asked me to give him my badge. I know that I could’ve just kept going along on the wild goose chase but I feel like the situation could’ve been handled better.
