Yelled at by boss for having covid
I (f18) work part time in a pub. Yesterday, I was on a 12-11pm shift with a break 3-4pm. I developed a sore/tickly throat while on the first part of my shift. I live with my parents a 2 minute drive from my work and my mum (f53) was really lovely and picked me up for my break. I thought I should probably test just in case it was covid, expecting nothing of it. I was hungry, and knew you can't eat before doing a covid test, so I did one pretty much as I got in the door so that I could eat and have time to relax on my break (I have ADHD so the restaurant environment can be very overstimulating).
