That’s retail. It’s not you. They always act all miserable if you call in sick.

I have a side job in retail. Right now it’s one evening a week. Last fall my husband had to go to ER so I called them that I am driving him to ER. They didn’t allow me in ER so I sat on a parking lot.

After an hour of this my husband called that he is admitted. I had to drive back home to pick his things and then drive back to the hospital. Just to give a context he stayed in the hospital for a week after that and then another two weeks home on IV. So it wasn’t running nose.

So I am calling the store explaining my driving back and forth situation and worrying about him and they asked if I can drop my husbands stuff with him and drive back to the store to work even if just one hour. It was so stupid that I laughed. Say what???

I have bunch of stories like this. It’s a very common attitude in retail. Not personal. If you sick, take sick day and let them deal. Not your problem
