THE TWITBOY PRIMITIVE, #20 TOP PRIMITIVE OF 2009
Original message

The CVS inhaler article reminds me of a time we had an employee near death at Target
   
It's very interesting how people in the retail business don't seem to have any common sense or ethics. The CVS news article about the inhaler reminded me of a situation we had when I was a manager at Target.

I was upfront at the check out lanes when a team member (employee - one who had earlier asked to go home due to feeling ill and was denied) was walking through the checkout lanes and collapsed in the middle of them. Suffice to say she was rapidly deteriorating and was near death making sounds I never even knew humans could make.

I immediately got on the phone with 911 and was put on HOLD due to high call volume. (welcome to the south) While I was on hold with 911 I a series of events transpired which made me lose all faith in humanity.

Prior to this team member collapsing I had gotten on a checkout lane to help with an excessive number of "guests" (customers) that needed to check out. I had been in the middle of a transaction when this situation occurred. The moment I saw this team member collapse I told the "guest" I was checking out I had to go call 911.

WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH 911 I felt someone tap my shoulder. It was the person I was checking out. She wanted me to get off the phone with 911 to finish checking her out, even though a person was on the ground near death just a few feet away from us. I turned my back to her and focused on the call. I imagine she walked off because I never saw her again.

After this people just walked over the team member that was on the ground as if she wasn't even there.

So realizing that 911 was going to be a little while I got on the walkie and called our pharmacist. (being the only person on staff with ANY kind of medical knowledge that I could think of) He came to the checkout lanes and refused to help. Just stood there watching.

Then I got on the walkie and asked the operator (the person who handles the phones/intercom at a Target store) to get on the intercom and ask if there were any doctors/nurses in the building if they could come up front.

Fortunately our store was located literally 5 minutes away from a major hospital and a doctor WAS in the store. He came up and rendered aid. 15 minutes later an ambulance showed up. After she was taken away the doctor told me had he not been there she very likely would have died prior to the ambulance arriving.

Oh and what was the end result for me? I was written up. Seems our store manager (who was in the building at the time and couldn't bother to get her fat ass up front to even try to help during the entire ordeal) felt that the announcement I asked the operator to make "disrupted the guest experience" at the store and "made guests worry they could be in danger thus stopping them from shopping".

I often believe that 80+% of the population is sociopathic. That day sealed the deal on that belief for me.

I've seen nurses at school refuse to give adults bandaids and ice packs. They claim they are there to treat kids and only kids. And only kids whose parents have signed the consent agreement.

I can't imagine being a health care professional and refusing to help a sick or wounded person.

9. My last casino job: If you collapsed at a game you were dealing, you got physically dragged into the middle of the pit and another dealer or floor supervisor was immediately put on to take your place. Then, someone might have gotten around to calling the paramedics for you. There could have been identical tables with no players on every side of the one with the sick dealer, but they wouldn't ask the players to move tables or anything. God forbid the house lost a few chances at $5 bets during a crisis.

I saw it happen twice in six years.

It's not just the lawyers.

It's the people who were once in distress turning on their former caregivers.

In previous posts, the twitboy primitive had alleged himself a "team leader."

I'm not up on nomenclature, but I suspect a "team leader"'s not the same thing as a "manager."

There are so many holes in this story it is pitiful.

First,to deny time away due to sickness would bring an untold liability on an employer,you just don`t do it and that is the reason some places stipulate a physicians note to prove it is legit.

Second,I do not believe for a moment that if this event were real folks would not be distracted and would never demand that a person ignore the one in distress.

Really lame and contrived not to mention that twix has never mentioned it before.
He would have been spouting off about it years ago if it really happened.
For all his talk about why he "left" Target was this ever brought up?

It happened in New York a while ago. Someone was mugging a woman and a homeless man stepped in to help her. Perp stabbed the homeless guy and left him for dead. People walked by for close to an hour before anyone called 911. He died on the street. Nice way to say thank you for stepping in to help someone. :(

Can't a person in the medical field get in trouble for "refusing" helping someone in distress? Didn't something like this happen in NYC not too long ago, where 2 EMT's were on their "break" and they didn't a person in need of medical help? I believe they got into trouble.

I'm not up on nomenclature, but I suspect a "team leader"'s not the same thing as a "manager."

I worked at Target years ago.

A team leader is just the "captain" of a team, they do nothing.  They are not in charge of anything.  They just carry around their little papers that make them seem important, but they are not.  The team leaders make sure their team mates are taking their allotted breaks on time, though.  That's probably super important.

Reminds me of the story---actually happened two Little girls riding home on a school bus, both girls had asthma.  One of the girl had an attack and had forgotten her rescue inhaler.  The other child had hers and knew how to administer the drug to save her life.

Up shot of the day, the 7 year old girl was expelled from school for giving her friend a prescription drug that did not belong to her.

There was talk of Juvie Court and going to drug awareness program.

Only after this hit You Tube did the school board back down and the child was honored as a hero for saving her friends life.

We wonder why our youth today are crazy, only have to look at their teachers to understand why.

I was once crossing a busy street in San Francisco, land of liberal compassion, when an old man walking opposite of me collapsed in the middle of the street in front of me. As I tried to help him back to his feet, at least two dozen young healthy San Franciscans stepped around us. I couldn't get him up by myself and was asking, can someone help me? Finally, after the light changed and cars were honking their horns at us, a black gentleman in business attire came to our aid, helped me get the guy on his feet, and out of the middle of the street.

Liberal compassion is stealing money from another person to pay a public union member to help someone.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Speaking of libeal compassion, in the Demokratik Socialist People's Republick of Santa Moniknuckistan, CA, I witnessed a scene that, had I been of more unbalanced temperment, resulted in the death of a driver of a vehicle.

The incident in question occured about a block or so from the VA hospital  (San Vicente at Wilshire) where an elderly gentleman was trying to make his way across Wilshire to get to the VA hospital.  I can only presume that the gentleman in question was a veteran, but by his demeanor and USMC shirt he was wearing, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet.

He was using a cane, and didn't move very fast--apparently not quickly enough for the bitch driving a car eastbound on Wilshire who was totally laying on her horn and literally SCREAMING out her window at the guy to move faster because the light had turned and you're holding her up, blah, blah, blah.

I'm just glad he made it across.  And to the woman who did that, if you're still on this planet, I hope you die in a ****ing fire, bitch.
