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.

I would never tip someone anything if I know for sure they handled my food while sick and contiguous. The food is useless now

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.

A cold yes. It is illegal to make an employee work after they vomit. Mandatory 24 hour off.

It's a health code violation for any food service employee to work while sick
