I hate this job

By Anonymous - 17/07/2011 23:29 - United States

Today, I forced myself into work with severe laryngitis. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, except I work at candy and ice cream store at a major tourist destination. For seven hours I had to communicate with unsympathetic adults and screaming, bratty kids by miming and using a dry erase board. FML

Why would you even go into work that day?

Mirorbo: This site definitely helps make that happen on occasion. And most strangers will drive away from a person desperately needing a ride somewhere, walk around their hurt bodies splayed on the sidewalk thinking "Somebody else will call them", and look on with a blank look on their face as a fellow human being is being attacked or chased, without so much as calling for help. So that losing faith in humanity thing is normal and expected. Most people just don't give a shit about most other humans in their society. **** them.

You should have thrown the candy at them and had done some "coneing" with no refunds if they didn't cooperate.

If you know your job involves you communicating with customers, why did you go in for work with laryngitis?

Why would you go into work if you were very sick, especially if you are handling food? I realize you probably wear gloves and stuff, but gloves or not, I still wouldn't want someone with laryngitis touching and breathing on my food. Sorry people were rude (that's how many people are when dealing with servers/waiters/etc.), but in all honesty you should have stayed home instead of risking infecting a lot of people.

it's actually a Heath code violation in my state ( I work in the business.) gloves actually spread bacteria and are more unsanitary than your hand. due to natural bacteria fighting oils your skim produces.

If you were sick AT ALL, you should have called out since you work around food, you fucktard.

I agree with previous posts. Why would you go to work sick, especially when dealing with food? If people would stay home and take care of themselves like they are supposed to when they are sick, so many less people would actually get sick. For every work day you go to sick, I bet you get at least five people sick who would not have gotten sick if you had not shown up. Not to mention it's just downright miserable to work sick. Stay at home and take care of yourself next time!
