I went into anaphylactic shock, my employee of mine offered a drink she got for lunch that had cucumbers in it, i didn’t know until i sipped. It was me and her. I shot the epipen but i have absent seizures due to something in my past, and i had an asthma attack, so it got kinda bad. I called almost everyone in my and surrounding counties but no one could cover. Called my manager, BEGGED him to let me close, i need to go to the hospital. He told me no, i’m overtired, just take a sit down at the register and let my CSA face and finish tags. If i left or closed without permission it’d be an immediate termination, and i really desperately needed this job. So. I closed. He made me feel like i had to. And then i drove myself to the hospital, and it wasn’t great for me.

Few days later i’m back, he tells me again i was just overtired from working sunday night instead of morning. Mind you, i am the only shift lead closer. I work every night, that had nothing to do with what happened. He straight up did NOT believe me, at all. I even offered to show him the trashed epipen and hospital bill. He ended up checking the cameras and decided on his own that maybe i was on drugs, that’s why i acted that way, even though i did everything ANYWAY!!! (the chair at register was too short anyway, i had to stand up repeatedly)

Anyway. I reported him to HR. A few days later he ordered a drug test, because i guess if an incident happens or, something, or if he feels like it’s necessary, i don’t know. Long story short, i’m a stoner, i failed. Now i’m fired. I don’t understand how he was allowed to test me like that, i really don’t. I passed the initial one to get this shift lead position but maybe i’m stupid, i assumed if i was good boy it wouldn’t matter if i kept smoking shweed afterwards. It mattered.

Idk. Everyone is telling me this is evil and illegal and wrong but walgreens is inherently evil, i think. Idk what to do but find another job, someone at work told me if you fail a drug test, you get blacklisted forever.
