*rolls eyes* all my manager cared about was that I'd been out more than anyone else that year. Never mind that I was almost never out at all the year before that...

I got in trouble for the same thing when I worked at Fred Meyer as a cashier. I was like, WTF? Do you guys think it's good customer service for me to be blowing my nose and then handling people's food? I did come in sick once...they just handed me a bottle of hand disinfectant. Ugh.
