There’s nothing more annoying than the sick people who walk in and are so sick and order a damn medicine ball like it’s going to cure whatever they have.

Just ask them "Do you mean the Honey Citrus Mint Tea? We don't carry a medicine ball drink"

I had someone call the store because they couldn’t mobile order a medicine ball and I had to explain that that wasn’t the actual name of the drink they wanted.

yeah, it's probably more annoying than being sick and feeling like shit and being willing to try anything to relieve the pain.

When I'm sick I stay out of public places as much as I can to avoid infecting others. Being sick doesn't mean that you lose any responsibility to other human beings.

I've had this discussion with with family, friends and customers, and from what I've learned there's probably no convincing you otherwise. But here's my attempt anyways.

There's is no magical cure for your cold if it can't be treated by medicine. You need rest, time, water, and maybe a short walk for that circulation. Maybe actually anything except a hot lemonade? Don't let Starbucks take your hard earned money for a dumb urban legend.

And just for good measure, a short list of things that would be more help than honey citrus mint lemonade:

A walk, a nap, a glass of water, litterally any other tea without lemonade, a tablespoon of honey, salt water gargle, a cough drop, decongestant, a shot of whiskey and a nap (a personal favorite from my grandma), watching a movie under the blanket, just carry around the whole bag of cough drops, reducing time in public spaces when you're contagious.

The person is just being held in Hoffman estates. Which is right next to us. We have been given detailed info about it everyday and the person went to visit and came back and got immediately checked. They are just quarantined. It’s not something everyone should freak out about. But we use sanitizing wipes everywhere anyways. Just cause people are gross. Lol. Touching all the credit cards and money and then touching your headsets handles and everything . We are just a conscious store! Be safe everyone!
