Last Friday at work, I began coming down with something...I could feel it in my throat and as the days wore on, it got worse. Now I can barely talk and it's been 3 days since I've actually worked.
On Sunday I was scheduled to come in at 2PM but got there at 1:30. I spoke with the closing manager, M, and told her hjow my back was messing up, showed her my swollen sinuses,even showed her how my glands were swollen as well. And to top that off, I could barely talk.
And all she did was nod and say, "Okay."
Then I'd asked her if she really needed me to come in still because I was worried about infecting customers and crew members.
"I still need you to come in because T called out and S moght not be coming in so I need you everywhere tonight. And if you 'call out' now, I'll write you up."
WTF?!
So when I clock in she gives me a drawer up front and I hve to repeat myself to customers numerous times because my voice was bad. I barely had time to get some hot tea or something to soothe my throat.
I was scheduled to close that night even though were closing a little earlier as it was New Year's Eve. One of the crew members, D is scheduled to get off at 7 and offered to work my hours and me work his so I could go home. He kept telling to go home and rest and I had no business working that night because I could barely talk. And he's been calling me almost every day to make sure I was okay. I owe him a lot.
When I told him how M was gonna write me up if I had left, he said "@#$! her! You don't need to work tonight."
I was supposed to come in today but called out because now I'm having a coughing fit and my voice is still horrible. It takes a lot of energy to try and talk.
I have a feeling I might get written up for the two days I'd called ou but I can't work if I'm sick. I don't call out unless I feel I REALLY cannot work.
Personally, Burger King can kiss my ass.

I remember getting a sore throat so bad my throat was halway closed up it was swollen so bad. My mother-in-law had some Amoxicillin in liquid suspension leftover when she was sick and all it took was one dose and the swelling in my throat started going down. Three days it was all gone. That was a hundred bucks I just saved in visiting the doctor. 
"are you taking anything, have you seen a Doctor?"
