I kept my face in the hole as long as possible, washed my hands at the shop and gargled the moment I got home.
But now I am sick in bed, and I've got to fly overseas in two days!
I 100 percent know I got it from her because I've been snowed under with work and not left the house all week, other than to attend Mascot Japanese.
Now, I don't blame a girl for trying to work when she is sick. She needs to eat just like everyone else.
But I do blame the shop if it lets her work, and in particular I'm annoyed at Mascot Japanese because they have been entirely unresponsive to my requests trying to find out if the girl has COVID and I need to cancel my travel plans. (I probably won't show positive myself, if I do, till it's too late to cancel.)
Mascot Japanese does not appear to give a flying fork about customer health, so my question is, should they?
Should shops send girls home who are sick, or should we take responsibility and walk out of the room the moment we know something is wrong?
Hard to do, I know, under the circumstances we all understand too well.
