My poor husband started with a terrible cold last week. And being that he is asthmatic it made it worse. He is feeling better, but I however started with it on Monday while I was at work. By 8pm I was not feeling well at all but stuck through the last two hours. Against my husband's better judgment I went to work on Tuesday for an eight hour shift even though I wasn't feeling too well in the hopes they would put me on self scan rather than kiosk which is right near the doors...no such luck...so not only was I feeling horrible, but I was stuck in the coldest part of the store (except maybe the freezers). I asked at least two if not three times to get off and move to self scan, but one supervisor said that self scan was colder than kiosk...I was on self scan on Monday night, it was not colder than kiosk. I was so cold and miserable even the customers were commenting on how cold and ill I looked.
Then to top it off, they had the nerve to phone today to see if I could come in and do a bit of overtime. Luckily my husband answered and said no for me as I was ill in bed with the cold and worse from having frozen half to death at work the night before.
I would have posted my electric blanked if I thought I could have gotten it there in time to be of any help.
@iowastate Thanks, feeling a lot better today actually, enough so that I am going to work tonight...at least the area I am working in tonight is a lot warmer than where I usually work lol.
Your are entitled to time off, especially when sick. You need plenty of rest, and meds, chicken soup helps too. Get well.
Cheers !
Saw the doctor, have been given a sick note to stay off for five days. Phoned in sick today afterwards for today and told them I had a sick note for five days off. Hubby took note in and gave it to the one supervisor that had actually shown any concern for me on Tuesday but couldn't do anything as he wasn't the one in charge that day, he was only there helping out himself. Asked the supervisor that was in charge that night to let me off but they wouldn't. Hubby even said it was uncalled for for another supervisor to have said that kiosk was not colder than the customer service desk and self scan, one of my colleagues overheard him say that and said that that was wrong, kiosk is colder than both those places. So glad I phoned in sick today because I just know I would have been stuck on kiosk again and end up making this cold even worse than it is.
I hope you feel better soon and it is shame you were were treated so cavalierly after the loyalty you have shown that outfit.
Your hubby did well to tell them off on your behalf
@s_h_a_d_o basically...after all I do to help them out they couldn't do me one little favor and move me out of the cold.
