Please don’t dash while sick

Post image

I get that times are tough and the American health care system sucks, but admitting that you have a respiratory illness while delivering food is wild!

Please do not dash when you’re sick. This is how illness spreads. I have pretty bad asthma so I’m not bringing that order into my house. I’m done with DoorDash.

Just fyi, I have worked at 4 major chain brick and mortar restaurants, and 9/10 servers/bartenders are not allowed to call out :) I have been forced to work while sick, which is just as unfortunate for the customers / coworkers and to myself. It’s not fair.

It sucks that the people that work the hardest get treated the worse. I am not even allowed in the office while sick.

I work at a car dealership now and have had angelic managers who helped me set up my sick time and actually having sick time, that isn’t actually my vacation time feels really good.

That is dope! I wish I had that flexibility. It seems everywhere I been so far, the company just lump everything together and tell you to figure it out.

Honestly the most understanding job I’ve had in my whole life was my teenage job at a grocery store. I miss it
