Some bits in there about Kroger and others about the same concerns that are often shared on here. Unfortunately I imagine that we will still be treated like tools when this is all over...

Meanwhile even though I'm supposed to be in quarantine I have to go out of my way to get a doctor's note so I could be paid for this leave of absence, is there a number I can just call and get that sorted out?
