Blind To Employees’ Medical Needs

I’m a cashier at an upscale grocery store. My eyesight is getting bad, so I am told to wear sunglasses at work, so the fluorescent lights won’t harm them further. Most of my customers are understanding, but not one lady.

This witch would make up stories about me. One day, she said I was talking about how much I had to drink the night before; I don’t drink. Another time, I was too busy chatting with a coworker; I was telling him how to use the phone to call customer service!

The surveys were anonymous, but I always knew it was the same lady because she’d end her complaint with “and she was wearing sunglasses!”

I’m not allowed to protect my eyes, I guess?
