Are mangers and TL's required to provide sanitary items, like kleenex and hand sanitizer?

[skiddybop]

I am a front end cashier and Ithink I was allergic to something that I checked out. I started coughing and my nose was running.
I went in to the office part and a manager or TL ( I'm not sure of his position, but a front end lead) refused to get me kleenex.
I felt disrespected and had to get toilet paper to use.
Am I being unreasonable?

There's a lot of context missing here. Your nose was running, and you asked someone else to get you tissue? That seems kind of strange. Get yourself yo damn tissue. Got to the restroom Ain't nobody gonna wipe yo nose for you. What the hell is the difference between toilet paper and Kleenex? Are you that bourgeois? God damn. Wipe your own damn nose.

Yes, you are being unreasonable. The horror of having to use toilet paper

Mangers provide feed for livestock, not kleenex. So, the answer is no.

I used my sleeve while making bales, away from everyone else. What the fuck was this question? From a day-care?

Always keep a wad of TP in your pocket, never know when a booger will rear its ugly head.

Well, I doubt I will be commenting again.
Oh so I'm supposed to have a run nose in front of customers, because toilet paper only goes so far.
Unfortunately a bunch of creeps here.

Not creeps just people who find your perspective somewhat privileged.
If you ask a question you have to be prepared for it to not go the way you expected.
Insulting people because you don't like the answers isn't cool.

 

[Ringwraith917]

No they're not required to. We sell Kleenex pocket packs. They're for sale at the checklanes. Buy a pack and keep it on you if you're prone to having a runny nose

Well, I googled it and the answer said, yes!
Wanting sanitizer and kleenex is a very reasonable accommodation.

Target doesn't want someone to have snot a running out one's nose ,especially as a cashier.
I'm going to ask HR!
Talk about insulting. Try reading your original reply!

They are not for sale here in our lanes.
It is a very reasonable accommodation.
Thankyou, for not being insulting like all the other replies

How rude! I am a front end cashier and having snot running out my nose is not cool and tp only goes so far. My purse was in my vehicle. It's a reasonable accommodation to have sanitizer and kleenex .

 

[skiddybop]

Well toilet paper only goes so far and it was very busy. For your info after researching it, it is a reasonable accommodation to have sanitizer and kleenex.

When you see it in bold that is my reply as a moderator.
I am very careful about what I post as a moderator.
That means I am calling you out for something you have said.
In this case calling members of the board creeps because you didn't like their replies.
It is a rule that you broke.

As to reasonable accommodations, I'm not an expert on the subject but I work with people who are and have made PowerPoints and videos on the subject.
I have a thread here on disabilities and accommodations.
Unless you make the request in advance they don't have to hop to for you.
If you have allergies to items you are checking that is a reasonable accommodation but to keep the items at your register.
You are responsible for providing the information they need to know ahead of time.
Then, if you can, keeping the items available, like a reader if you are blind or an EpiPen if you have allergies.

I suspect you are not going to like this response.
My advice is not to take it personally.

Could be worse: imagine if your boss refused to provide Pearls and forced you to make do with some hospital-grade shit with paper applicators that collect a Pap sample on their way out. In which case, I would suggest freebleeding all over the salesfloor to make your indignation quite clear.

I’ve been with Target 14 years 11 of those were as a cashier and I was never provided Kleenex. I bought it myself. Used paper towels they provided or used toilet paper from the bathroom. I work drive up now and occasionally my leader will provide us Kleenex on really cold days when we are prone to runny noses. My leader is not expected to provide Kleenex for us. We always have paper towels and most times I use that. Hand sanitizer should be available at all registers. Buy a box of Kleenex or bring a roll of toilet paper from home to keep at your register.

When my daughter was in pre-school the teachers would clean all their noses.

Are you using gloves and a mask since you have a running nose? Because Kleenex and sanitizer wouldn’t cut it for me as a costumer.

It is not a reasonable accommodation unless you have it on your file that you need it in order to complete your job.
You probably did your research based on what was recommended during COVID.

When I replied to this thread, I was intoxicated, but my feelings are still the same. I don't know what you were expecting here... This is just bizarre to me...

What's bizarre is the lack of manners and just being civil as you hide behind your phone and say outrageous things while drunk!
I was expecting reasonable answers and some did give reasonable, and polite answers but you were way over the top with everything in your original reply. That's bizarre, in my opinion!
But I guess the moderator thinks it's OK for you to say outrageous things.

I suppose people that were raised with little to no manners are on here commenting.

I was suddenly allergic to something that came through the check lane. It's apparent that you don't know what can happen to someone that is allergic to something. For example, I am extremely allergic to cat saliva and become deathly ill upon accidentally getting cat saliva in my mouth. I was cleaning up food for a cat that had spilled out of the bowl at my friend's home, and must have accidentally touched my mouth. I was extremely ill !
I also am allergic to penicillin and break out in hives all over my body.
Being allergic to something can actually kill you.
Apprantently no one on here caught the word " allergic "
I said I was allergic!

Try reading what I wrote. I said I was allergic!!! Apparently you have no idea what being allergic to something can do to a person. I didn't have a cold!
Did I say I t was a horror to use TP?
No, I did not!
I only had so much tp to stuff in my pockets and it was extremely busy.
Your answer was ok until you said it was a horror to use tp.
Did I say that?

Talk about a bizarre answer.
Try having manners!
I said I was allergic! You apparently know zero about allergies.
Educate yourself!
You are a gross person that hides behind their phone saying incredulous statements.
PEACE, BUT I'm only half committed!!!!!
You are probably too ignorant to even understand the last sentence before this one
