Many years ago I worked at RadioShack. We changed watch batteries all the time. Zero training, just expectations.

Guy brought a watch in. I was getting ready to change it when he informed me that it was a $25,000 watch. I probably handed it back to him and said sorry, not taking responsibility for that. I was not qualified.

I can’t imagine forcing untrained people to deal with significant medical issues and be financially responsible for a fall etc.

I’ve had some severe disabilities at times, so I’ve been on both ends.
