The office manager said that certain mystery shoppers had been coming into the store and I didn't get a very good report. I was never given a second chance just that I was fired on the spot. I started on May 9th and was fired July 26.

Since you asked this question on the Canadian site, I'm assuming Canadian Labour Law prevails.
If you are in Ontario, you were still under probationary period under the Employment Standards Act.
Do all employees qualify for termination notice and pay?
Certain employees are not entitled to notice of termination or termination pay under the ESA . For example, employees who are guilty of wilful misconduct, disobedience or wilful neglect of duty that isn't trivial, and has not been condoned by the employer, are not entitled. Other examples include construction employees, employees on temporary layoff and employees who refuse an offer of reasonable alternative employment.
An employee who has been employed less than three months and has his or her employment terminated is not entitled under the ESA to notice of termination or termination pay.

Canada Labour Law:
240. (1) Subject to subsections (2) and 242(3.1), any person
(a) who has completed twelve consecutive months of continuous employment by an employer, and
(b) who is not a member of a group of employees subject to a collective agreement,
may make a complaint in writing to an inspector if the employee has been dismissed and considers the dismissal to be unjust.

Without more details, such as the name of your state, no one can give you accurate advice. Some states are "Right to Work" states where an employer can fire you for almost any reason. (The exceptions are race, gender, religion.)
We would also need more details about the reasons given for dismissal, and if you were under a contract of any sort.

Contact your manager and inquiry about this report. If you get a very unresolved answer, contact a lawyer and press charges.

That is a huge question. You need to be more specific about why you were fired, where and from whom.
