Woke up with my stomach in knots, figured I ate something bad the previous day. Texted my work group chat and let them know that I would be useless if I showed up, and explained that I think I ate something bad for dinner. They said something along the lines of "no worries, but you're still gonna have to come in to at least grab the paperwork for staying home for a day." Annoyed, I got a ride to work and went to go do the formalities and explained that my boss had already given me the go ahead to stay home, I just needed the paperwork. First guy I talked to had no issue just writing it up and sending me on my way, but when he stepped away for a second I got asked some questions by one of his coworkers who told me "we have to give you a check up first to determine if you actually have to stay home." She checked my stomach for pain and listened to it make some noises, then decided I was just constipated and gave me something to drink to help. First guy still wrote the paperwork up for me, and I got to go home, stomach in even worse situation and I spent nearly 2 hours on the toilet before I felt safe enough to go lay down and slept the rest of the day away.
(And yes I'm well aware that it's atypical to get a checkup by your workplace, this was a weird and terrible place to work. Glad I got outta there.)
Yeah, I worked at Walmart for a bit and we were taught to look out for weird situations with gift cards and politely ask what the customer's plan was. If we thought they were getting scammed, we'd get our manager involved to talk to them
