This is just awful. I’ve been given an accommodation while awaiting a sedgwick claim for intermittent leave but in the meantime, OH MY GOD. I was fighting tears at work today because it hurt so bad. It’s been a month since it started and we’ve done 3 shockwave sessions and now a 6 day steroid plan. It’s only day two of the steroid thingy but I can’t even feel my feet anymore, it’s excruciating.

Any tips would be great!

I was working sco today and a man asked me “where are the cookie bags?” I pointed to the cookie bar and asked if that’s what he meant. he got more aggressive and said “no, the cookie bags” I said “perhaps the bakery, but i’m not sure what you mean” and he said “that’s not what I asked. are you stupid? I said the cookie bags.” I was so shocked he said that to me that I audibly chuckled and said “wow” and I guess that set him off because he tried to get in my face until I stepped back and he went to go and tell on me but no one was around for him to talk to. he also went and asked the same thing to 3 other employees and they also had no idea what he was talking about.

so, though there are many incidents where customers are so freakin rude, I never stick up for myself. but there must be something I can say that doesn’t allow them to walk all over me. any advice? i’ve only been a cashier for 4 months so customers do get to me and it ruins my day for a few hours ):

Opinions and experiences are highly appreciated!

I know a lot of people go with bc racing but I’ve also heard how easily they snap… So I wanted to check out other options. The price isn’t a concern
