So, I work at an undisclosed American grocery store, and today, decided to call in sick. Now, I usually clock in at 7:00 on weekends (That bit isn't their fault, I chose those hours myself), so I call in at around that time. After listening to about 30 seconds of overly ambitious hold music, I connect to my boss. I explain my reason for absence, and am told that, according to store rules, I am meant to call in TWO HOURS before my shift starts. For reference, that would be 5:00 AM. This is logged in some record-book or another, and the interaction is completed.
Now, I plan to call in sick tomorrow as well, and, wishing to avoid a second penalty, do so in advance. I press 9 to speak to customer service as I usually do to contact my bosses, and am told that I will be connected to "Mr. Victor", a man who I have never heard of. something like a minute, passes, and I am put back on the line with the same man who initially offered to connect me to "Mr. Victor", apparently thinking that I am a new caller. Re-explaining my identity and purpose, the man ("Bill") apologizes, and promises to put me on the line with "Mr. Victor" soon. Another minute, and I am finally connected to this enigmatic official. I explain my purpose, and he informs me, he ACTUALLY TELLS ME, that I HAVE to call in tomorrow at 5:00! Apparently, he thinks that there is some chance that I will "get better", that I should try to "sleep it off". Is the store even open at that time! Outrageous!

Let me tell you, if I was actually sick, I would be PISSED
