Find a new job. I sneeze a lot when I merely walk past a fragrance shop in the mall. Couldn't imagine working in one.

If you know you have asthma then why are you working in a store that sells items that can trigger it? Even if you didn't smell them, you're gonna have customers who will spray the fragrances.

Dude, I have asthma and can't even walk by one of those stores because of it. I have no idea why you thought applying to work at one would be beneficial for your health but you should quit.

You need to go, Joe.

You applied to a fragrance store... and you have asthma? As a fellow person who has that, I say "wtf?" FYL, but you had it coming. x.x

As an employer, I cannot put a known asthmatic on the outdoor service roster, as it is considered an unsafe work practice by the wcb. Having an inhaler with you and taking a job like that is like a diabetic ordering a 7 kilo, 9000 calorie burger and a gallon of syrup but saying "it's ok, I brought insulin".

Damn, people. Please read as least some of the previous comments before commenting. Everyone is saying the same goddamn thing.

Perhaps also in different areas. I own a heavy diesel service shop and the wcb won't let me send a "medicine dependant" asthmatic on out of shop service calls unless I send a trained medic with them (training the asthmatic doesn't count). So technically I COULD send one... at twice the cost of any of my fully capable techs. I know it sounds cruel, but asthmatics and anyone with a seizure risk get all the worst jobs in construction and mechanics, because it's considered too much of a risk to the wcb or insurance won't cover them.

Your own fault for working at a fragrance store, perfumes set off asthma like a volcano

Its your own fault, if you know you get asthma attacks from fragrances, why would you even consider working there?
