Today, I was working at a fast food restaurant when I cut my hand. There was a good amount of blood flowing out so I ran to my manager and asked where the first aid kit was. He then picked up a washcloth and some tape and handed it to me. FML

Today, I cut my hand on nothing while at work. It bled so much, I began to feel woozy, and everyone kept brushing me off when I asked where the first aid kits were. FML
Today, I cut myself pretty badly with a knife. I was bleeding quite a lot, so I yelled to my husband to bring me some kitchen roll, along with the first aid kit. He rushed in with the roll… to clean the floor. FML
Today, I cut my finger at work while chopping some vegetables. I grabbed the nearest rag I could to stop the bleeding and put it on the cut. I didn't know the rag had just been used to clean up a lemon juice spill. FML
Today, I cut my finger deep on an envelope at work and started bleeding profusely. When I asked my co-worker for a band-aid, she told me to get back to work and stop making up excuses to try and hit on her. FML
Today, I was cutting some paper when I accidentally cut a sizeable chunk out of my finger. I went to my car to get my bumbag (I'm a lifeguard) so I could patch it up. I then promptly got a large piece of glass in my foot. FML
Today, my manager bailed on me during the afternoon rush; swamped and distracted, I cut off the pad of my thumb in a cheese slicer. Some clinic hours later I returned, hungry and sick with blood loss, to sign WC papers. Manager's only words: "You're staying late to cover your long break, right?" FML
Today, I cut my leg deeply at the beginning of my work shift. I wrapped it up with packing tape and a thankfully sterile paper towel, and had to work 6 more hours before I could leave. I made 110 dollars at work, only to spend 120 on stitches. FML
Today, I was washing the dishes when I gave myself a nasty gash on my leg from the open dishwasher door. After five minutes of cleaning up the blood and wrapping it up, I came back to finish the job only to drop a plate and send broken shards into my foot. FML
Today, I walked too close to a first-aid kit sticking out of a wall at work, and it cut my arm. Laughing at the irony, I opened it to get a band aid out. It was empty. FML
Today, I sliced my finger on the register drawer. Not wanting to freak out my customer, I stuck my hand in my pocket and finished giving them change. Now I look like I period-bled through the front of my pants. Only 10 hours to go. FML

Well that's first aid, commando style.

You could sue them, get some money out of the deal? Or do the right thing and but the place a first aid kit, then sue them when you find a dead mouse in it.

Pretty sure in some way that's like an OSHA (if that's how it's spelt) violation on his part. And if the customers knew you were working like that and serving their food that way, a law suit is coming.

That boss would never get away with that in Australia. AU is very strict regarding safety laws. He would get his ass kicked by WorkCover.

Eh, just rub some dirt on it.

We have a first aid kit, but it has MAYBE 2 band aids in it? Most of the time we apply pressure until it stops, wrap it in toilet paper or paper towel and throw a glove on. seems to work well

Well.... If the bleeding was heavy then what's a band-aid supposed to do? Maybe I'm just a bogan but a roll of duct tape replaces half the contents of a basic first aid kit

Is your manager ******* idiot? Does he not give a shit about contamination and health violations? Clearly.

Nobody gives a shit about health codes, when you're in hell's kitchen.

#14 It's all about health codes when you are working in a kitchen, fast food or not. I'd think in Hell's Kitchen especially.

#34 I don't think he meant Hell's Kitchen as in in New York, but rather Hell's kitchen down below

In this case, you can't "have it your way".

That's a sanitary concern and health issue.

You should report him....to the manager...oh wait!
PeaceTurtle 17
They can report that manager to corporate. Not only is this manager not taking care of his employees, but this is a sanitary problem.
