Yes. Most retail jobs have required sick notes. Which is more bad, because most of them are part time and don't have health insurance here in the states. It's stupid.

Yeah, it's usually the shittiest jobs that need sick notes and will drug test you more often than just once when you're first hired. No one has given me shit about being ill or getting high for years.
