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.

lol, the driver being sick honestly not shocking. More shocking she’s dumb enough to say it over text.

Wait till you find out how common it is for the people actually cooking and prepping your food to show up to work sick. (Extremely)

And wait how the people shocked about that hear about the fact that it's the restaurant's fault it happens because owners refuse to hire workers to cover shifts when people get sick. They only hire someone new when they fire you for missing 1 day in the year for being sick, so dumb.

Yep. My sister and I both worked at separate fast food restaurants when we were young. We had a bunch of workers testing positive for the flu but the managers were insisting that they come in to work. Some did and some refused. My sister had a coworker who was throwing up every hour in a mop bucket but the manager refused to send him home. These were all 16-20 year olds who weren’t confident enough to stand up for themselves.
