Working fast food when youre sick sucks because nobody cares

The customers don't care that you look like you are going to die. They don't care that you can barely talk due to coughing so hard your lungs come out. They want their crap fast and don't care who they have to beat down to get it.

My coworkers mean well but they cant afford to send me home because they'll be super short handed because management doesn't schedule to where if someone needs to call off or go home the store won't burn down. Plus I need money and hours.

Because what you say is true, I hope you see this as a sign you need to learn to care for your health first, put your well being first. Sacrifice is insanity if it’s leading to self harm. This is why people around the world agree that you must love yourself before you can help or love others. Love yourself including accepting your imperfections and shortcomings. You’re human. If you’re sick rest and get proper care.

When you do what’s healthy and what’s right for yourself based on caring for yourself, it leads to more not less. It’s ironic. It just turns out that way. Don’t expect any one to thank you for loving yourself or them... but your whole life will turn around and be more balanced.
