Initial reaction: damn it, Connecticut, you're making the rest of us look bad.

CT has problems, but this ain't one.

I worked at a restaurant near the college campus and was supposed to work a double on game day. Doubles at this place could be 15 hours without a break. Huge two story restaurant. Not easy work.

My favourite people are the customers who can see that you are sick, and give you shade for working and possibly getting them sick. As if a lot of service industry workers have much of a choice in the matter. You either get in trouble for phoning in sick, or you are pressured to come in no matter how sick you are, or…

I don't think she will. This isn't wrongful termination because you don't need any reason to fire someone. As long as they weren't firing her for a protected characteristic (i.e. they really fired her because she was a woman but made this up to justify it) then it isn't illegal. She probably doesn't work enough to…

One of my kids was sick and fainted at a retail job. Her coworkers stepped over her. When she came to she was expected to work the rest of her shift.

It's a joke that food service workers are forbidden by law to work when they're sick. I've had several food service jobs and any time I tried to call in sick the manager told me to take some benadryl or pepto and suck it up or don't bother coming in when I recover. Especially on days when they anticipate a lot of…

This is why people with chronic illness find it nearly impossible to hold down jobs. I once had a very similar situation when working in retail (I was in the middle of a flare and ended up fainting in the women's room and being taken to the ER) and while my boss didn't fire me, he did tell me if I called out again I…

I agree. NO, was my response as well.

The manager also told her to "just switch shirts" to hide the vomit stains.

BREAKING NEWS: I saw the human Ken Doll out at Progress Bar during Pride a couple of weekends ago here in Chicago. He had a shirt cut down to his sternum and I could not stop staring at his faux pecs. His fecs, if you will. Related news: I was very sad that I recognized him. I've been watching too many things like My…

WE DON'T TAKE INFANTS TO AREAS WHERE MOSHING MAY BE TOTALLY PROBABLE.

I watched the video when it was up. The security guards are being incredibly patient, and she is being incredibly belligerent and kept trying to make the guards feel guilty about her sobbing 8 year old. Also, she wasn't kicked out. They told her that she couldn't be in the pit with an infant, but they could move her…

A four month old baby absolutely needs ear protection. Doesn't matter what kind of concert. Nursing in public, I've got no problem with that, but without ear protection at a concert baby's hearing can be irreversibly harmed.

Was the baby peacefully sleeping or breast feeding?

Did they just ask her to leave the pit, or did they ask her to leave the concert entirely? If they just asked her not to be in the pit with her 4 month old it sounds reasonable to me. If they told her to leave the concert then she may have a point.

L'Oreal stopped testing on animals? I DID NOT KNOW THIS!!!
