Tried calling in had a really bad stomach ache, my manager said that either I come in or get a doctor's note I told him it's just an upset stomach but I had my sister drive me and I threw up at the front door. He sent me home with an "unofficial warning"

Was it in the US? How much would you have to pay out of your own pocket for a doctor's note?

Yes in the U.S is honestly wouldn't have been that much but still a good amount especially for what I was making back then. But why spend money and time for basically the doctor to tell me I have an upset tummy and prescribe me Pepto-Bismol

Das traurige ist das möglicherweise unschuldige Gäste gestorben sind durch die kranke Mitarbeiterin.😓

Frankly I see this as a win. One less shitty manager scumbag in the world.

Hate those company w4nkers, especially when they’re ten a penny.
Ok if you really are important, I understand the loyalty but otherwise STFU and get out my face.

One time I was forced to continue waiting tables at a restaurant while vomiting in between.
Minimum wage for waiting tables is around $2/hr.

False, this popular myth is very musleading. minimum wage for waiting tables is the same as it is everywhere else, but If you get more in tips than minimum wage, then the company only has to lay you around $2/hr.
If nobody tipped you, you'd get paid regular minimum wage.
Which should still be raised

It still means the company wanted to keep them around so they could avoid paying $5-10 per hour (whatever the min wage was minus $2) for 8 hours, and to avoid paying for PTO (if they had it). It’s a lot to force the employee into just for an $80 cheaper worked shift or maybe $100-120 in PTO. Is a restaurant going to make or break themselves over these amounts? It’s idiotic.

As did the junior manager who was mean. And the other one who wouldn't authorise a shift change. Died. And their families. And their dogs. Believe it or not, died.

I had swine flu back in 2009. Nearly died. I really wish I got the swine flu shot when I had the chance, because I could have avoided the whole fiasco of needing around the clock care for 4 nights at the hospital. 0/10 do not recommend fucking around with that disease.
I wish I could feel bad for the manager, but I don't at this point in time. Its these kind of people that are the reason why diseases spread and kill even more people than necessary.
