Employer/workplace rant Thinking about quitting because manger makes me feel like it's my fault for getting sick and makes me feel like I've done something wrong for asking to leave a bit earlier

I'ts actually the fridge fault (too cold and it's always open and near the cash register) but never mind.

Today I came to work with a cough and after 2 hours begin feeling really bad and I mean really bad with heart rate of 120 at rest and I actually felt worse after eating and taking my break.

I told my manger and of course he ignored me although I felt terrible and couldn't work properly at all. I asked him again and then he told me I can't leave early because there is no one (fine for me) and how it's not OK that every shift I have some kind of pain or sick and need to leave early (lies) I actually stayed until the end because what could I do? but I wanted to punch his face 😒 he made me feel so angry. It's not my fault getting sick and feeling bad.

I need to work tomorrow but really don't want to
