If they got transferred to anywhere in my region they’re world would turn upside down. If everyone refused to bar at your store what happens? As a ssv I ask my partners for the preferences and do what I can. Sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to do to keep your job (ie the entire job for me). If I tell someone I need them on bar and they refuse I send them home. I haven’t had to do it often, but if you’re not playing for the team you’re playing against it. Now yes if there’s a logical sub to have someone else bar when someone else prefers not to then that works out.

It’s a different story when they simply can’t bar. That’s when I coach as much as I can, and flag them to the SM for a skill check. Every position is important to running the floor, and if some people can’t/won’t then you can’t run a floor without thinking about all of those moving pieces. It’s not fair to shifts that we’re already dealing with competence levels, but now some people just refuse to do their jobs? Send em home and tell your SM.

I can definitely see how it could be different at other stores, but at mine anytime someone moves from hot bar to cold bar or vice versa, you’d have a chance to knock the chair over. And that’s just a lawsuit waiting to happen (not a valid accommodation because it still leaves the company vulnerable to a lawsuit.

If I were the partner at my store I would’ve gone looking for a store in the area that could accommodate a chair in the drive thru.

I still don’t think it’s fair that they presumably get paid the same to do less of the job tho. But that’s just my opinion, I’m sure it’d be different if I was the one with the disability.
