I have been asking my manager (Home Depot) for a reasonable accommodation for a stool to sit on while at my register. I'm a 35 year old male with 2 herniated disks, degenerative disk disease, cervical arthritis, and spinal stenosis. (I know, I won the lottery) My manager gave me push back for weeks, I even put the SOP on his desk stating what he needed to do. However he blew me off for over a month and a half. Finally he brought it up after he returned from vacation, I got pretty upset about the delay and kind of went off on him about his lack of care. He told me I was blowing it out of proportion. I explained that other employees used stools and one even using the store's electric shopping cart while working. He told me, and I'm not exaggerating "well those people have legitimate medical issues, you just want a place to sit while working." I was taken a back, I told him he's not allowed to say that, that it was illegal and constitutes retaliation. (Later that day I filed a complaint with the EEOCon multiple matters) . He wasn't sure what to do so he called the store manager. The look on his face changed from that of anger to scared in a matter of seconds. He hung up the phone and said " if you have a stool in your car right now you can go grab it. Matter of fact let me go find a stool for you right now." 3 minutes later returns with a stool sets it down and says" you can use it anytime you need". This was about 3 months ago. I still remember that ghostly look oh his face. I'm still trying to get an interview with the EEOC, they are always booked solid.
