Please people, if your sick, stay at home!!! Thanks.

When I started at my current job, my boss at the time basically told me that I better be on my deathbed if I called in sick. So, I went to work with stomach flu, regular flu, strep throat, and run of the mill colds. I probably would have been fired if I had taken the necessary recuperation time off for each of these illnesses. The ironic thing is she came down with strep throat about two weeks after I got it...and called out sick. I wish I could take time off when I get sick, because working while sick is absolutely miserable.
Working with the public (and in particular, in the pharmacy section of the grocery store) lends itself to encountering lots and lots of sick people. I do my best to not get sick, and that is going to include getting a flu shot this year.
