On May 12th, I was physically assaulted by a customer at Kroger, where I worked. The assailant took my phone and broke it, then injured me in such a manner that I had to go to the ER to get the wound on my head attended to with two staples.
The next workday, May 14th, I was outright suspended indefinitely. We have depleted our savings and can no longer pay our mortgage and utilities. Plus, if I lose the medical insurance through Kroger, my wife will no longer be able to afford her life-sustaining medications.
I firmly believe I am being discriminated against over a situation that was beyond my complete control. Along with being treated unfairly because of my age of 62 years old.
This incident has toppled all my hopes and dreams after maintaining a perfectly clean work record for 16 years.
I would just like to return to Kroger with my 40 hours a week, seniority, back pay, and medical insurance intact. I would be so happy if this happened.
