This morning when I went to Walmart, the cashier was a long time friend of mine. Her Mother and I worked together years ago. Well, she was sick and coughing with a headache. She said she didn't work yesterday, and was going to leave early, because she was still sick. I was thinking to myself I sure hope it's not covid, she has four kids and really don't need to get sick. I sure hope it's just a summer cold, but covid is spreading in my area.

Uh Oh. One time I went to DG and the cashier was obviously sick. She shouldn't have been there either, but maybe they don't give sick leave there. I don't know.

@popciclecold Some employees get mad if you miss to much work.

@jstory07 I think Walmart is like that because they are short of help.

I hope not either. But working at Walmart she comes in contact with a lot of people.

@popciclecold Exactly, this is how a disease spreads fast.

You can get sick at any time and at any place. Hopefully this blows over so she can work.

I am also hoping that your friend who is ill does not have COVID. Most likely it is the combination of heat and cold weather.

I sure hope you don't get sick. Our housekeeper was over on Monday and was supposed to come back on Tuesday. Tuesday she called and said her whole family was sick, including her. So far I'm OK. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
