So I work as a cashier and now bagger basically at a grocery store.
Rn i'm forced to work there because i'm 23 and don't know what to do as a actual career (don't know if i could afford to do it either way since college is expensive af) and I'm stupid (learning complicated things takes me AWHILE to register)
But lately it just seems that my health is being put last
So heat is a trigger of mine with me seizures. And in Arizona it gets 110+ degrees outside. And my work refuses to turn on the ac in the front. They blame it on the windows, but i'm calling it bs because it's just not the front being affected, it's basically half the store. I've felt it and the customers complain about it. I've already had a seizure because of this.
And you know how I said i'm a bagger too. That's simply because we're so understaffed that i'm literally doing two jobs at once or the baggers don't bounce.
I suffer from depression and after 11 months of being in retail, it certainly has took it's toll on me
I also have anxiety and me doing two jobs at once, especially during busy times, I felt like I'm having full blown panic attacks. I am literally in constant panic when it gets busy because i have to go fast and do two jobs at once. I have difficult breathing, my heart is pounding, and i'm shaking. Just feel like the world is collapsing. I'm literally panicking because my line is growing and doing everything so fast. It's just a overwhelming feeling.
I also dread when i have to go to work. I dread it for awhile. I'm fine on my days off, but the day before and on my actual work days, i dread coming into work, because i know that i'll be treated like crap.
