I got called into the office b/c I was written up again.  This time it wasn't b/c of a cashier error.  This time it was b/c of a seizure incident.  At the beginning of April, I urinated on myself during my shift, so one of the managers, Mr. George, had a co-worker drive me home to change pants.  Well, I was written up b/c the EXA, Mrs. Lejeune, told me to always keep a pair of pants in my locker just in case this happened b/c of a security issue--it would only leave 1 employee in the store.  I had a pair sitting in my locker for a while, but pulled them out to take home to wash b/c they were getting dusty & wrinkled (I always have my pants ironed with a crease at the front).  I guess I had forgotten to bring a new one back.  Mr. George freely asked Mark to drive me home to change my pants without even asking me if there was someone who could bring me a pair.  That guy Mark sent me a message a few months ago telling me that people at Walgreens were wanting me to quit, so I guess these seizures were becoming frustrating to them.  Therefore, a few people believe that Walgreens is wanting me to quit, instead of having them fire me under illegal rights of my epilepsy

That write-up letter stated that the next time I didn't keep an extra pair of pants in my locker, I would be TERMINATED from the company!!  It seemed like I was justifying myself when I brought up this "wrinkled pants" thing, but the main thing was that the current manager allowed Mark to do this, although the manager knew that it was wrong.  It's almost like a manager telling you that it's okay to put $100 in your pocket from the register and then firing you for stealing it!! I've made a few mistakes at the store, but I feel I have exceeded my expectations w/ Walgreens.  I have even gone out of my way and walked to work simply b/c they needed an extra clerk.  My call-in-sick days are rarely used each year and I have satisfied multiple customers w/ unexpected service.  Management has cut my hours, which may keep me from holding on to my insurance policy.  Other employees who have worked w/ the company for less than 1 year are receiving more hours than me--probably b/c they don't have a load of seizures to deal with.  On May 26th, I will have been with the company for 11 years.  My fear is that I may lose my job if I forget to bring a clean pair of pants to replace the ones I took home to wash.  I have continued giving good customer service, despite the lower respect from management.
