It's a grocery store fact is you lift heavy things up all the time and after years of dealing with horses and lifting hay bales it doesn't bother me at all.
Thing is, my finger is literally an interesting blend of black purple and blue due to it quite clearly being broken. I don't care honestly. It's not the first time I've broken a finger or even the first time I've broken that particular finger. And hey, now my left pinky matches my right in crookedness. I can't bend it at the moment and I even buddy wrapped it with scotch tape because its Easter weekend and I don't feel like waiting 8hrs in the ER for someone else to properly buddy wrap it because the walk-ins are closed.
Frankly, if you could lift it out of the basket (that you've been carrying all around the store) you can lift it right back in after I scan it. Or here's an idea. Let my packer I just called do it. But noooo, he wants me to do it. Because 'all of us young people are so lazy. We should learn to do things ourselves'. My entire hand is swollen from my pinky finger to my middle to the point that I can't even grasp the hand scanner and its a myriad of colours the human body is not supposed to turn. It's not like it isn't obvious that lifting shit is a bad thing to do with that hand right now.I was allowed to come to work on the grounds that I didn't do anything to screw it up further. My manager finally snapped (I was on the till across from the customer service desk to keep an eye on me) and stomped over legged my arm up to wave my hand in the customers face. Informed him that I was on light duties due to injury and he believed that I had already offered a satisfactory alternative if the SC couldn't carry his own groceries. (In that tone of voice that's polite but still hints that he's being an asshole)
One of the regular customers offered to break the guys hand and ask him if it was still being lazy when he refused to carry his groceries in that polite and curious tone of voice (after the customer ran off of course, otherwise that might be a threat)
The picture is from two days of icing and anti-inflammatories. It was broken between where it attaches to the hand and the first knuckle. I realigned it and bound it. (The other crookedness is from previous breaks horseback riding where I didn't bother and just got back on)
