- A 7-Eleven employee claimed in a Reddit post that he should tell his boss how many times he goes to the bathroom.
- His boss told him via text message on Feb. 15 that he needed a doctor’s note.
- Worker drinks ‘2 big gulps’ of water during most of his shifts
A man who has had trouble keeping fluids down created a post on Reddit on February 15 that described a bathroom requirement at his workplace.
The original poster (OP), who works at 7-Eleven, received a text from her boss yesterday saying she needed to “provide a doctor’s note” for her bladder issues.
The young 7-Eleven employee claimed he has no bladder problems despite going to the bathroom more than once while working.
Later, her boss told her she needed to get a doctor’s note because she uses the bathroom too much during her three-hour shifts.
The OP admitted in his post that he drinks “two big gulps of water almost every time” he works at the store.
A man who has had trouble keeping fluids down created a post on Reddit on February 15 that described a bathroom requirement at his workplace.
The OP admitted in his post that he drinks “two big gulps of water almost every time” he works at the store.
According to the OP, the amount of water he drinks makes him “frequent the bathroom 1-4 times per shift.”
His boss texted him again that day and asked the employee to tell him how many times he used the bathroom that day.
The employee wrote in the Reddit post that he responded to his boss’ message and wrote that he went to the bathroom twice yesterday during his shift.
“I asked him if I was obligated to disclose that information to him and he told me that I was obligated because it was a paid bathroom break and that he had confirmed that he did not have any medical problems,” the employee wrote.
“I’m just curious if this is true and wondering how I should handle the situation from this point.”
Nearly 700 Reddit users have given their opinion on what I should do, and some of their ideas involve the OP’s feces.
Reddit users have suggested that the 7-Eleven employee make bathroom charts and take photos of his stool after using the bathroom.
Several Reddit users have suggested in the comments section that the employee start a log or spreadsheet.
“Start a log chart and report it daily,” one user wrote.
“Be sure to list the size of the log you removed and its color and smell.”
Other users have suggested that the 7-Eleven worker ‘take pictures’ after going to the bathroom during his shifts.
