  • Doing the Maneuver

    Hello all my name is Saisaka. I work at BCF as a cashier, I've been there nearly a year. (Next month is it! )
    I worked 6 hours today.

    ----- I want to choke you B****!

    I had to do the Heimlich Maneuver on a toddler today. This little girl couldn't have been more than 3 at the most. She tried to eat a gumball the size of a half dollar. Then she tried to swallow it, and the ball got stuck. The girl starts to choke and Mom starts to SHAKE the girl up and down. I stop her and take the girl in to position. She coughs for a minute then spits the thing up and throws up. (Thankfully on the floor). She starts crying and I clean her up with paper towels.

    But What really gets me was the woman behind Mom. She was yelling at me for helping the little girl instead of checking the mother out of my lane. getting really huffy and stomping her feet. I was SO PISSED that I had to stop myself from slapping her. I was shaking with rage. And I told her in a polite but firm voice that. "I had other matters to attend to." Are you really that heartless to ignore a choking child in favor of your black flats?

    Apparently so.

    ------- Next in line, please?

    Then these two "ladies" got into an argument about who jumped who in line at customer service. They were calling each other every name in the book and some racist slurs too. They were so loud that I had to call security.

    ---------Take it outside, Please!

    I wasn't even checking this woman out, but I got to suffer right along with everyone else. I got the treat of watching a woman scream at her 5 maybe 6 kids about how she wasn't going to buying them "jack****" and not to touch and/or break anything else. And I mean she was screaming a them. The kids were like 16-3 in ages. She was in the store/line for 30 mins.

    Icing on the cake, They cut my hours today.

    You save a child's life, and some EW gets mad? What the hell is this world coming to? That is just unfuckingbelievable!

      Thank you!
      You should get a commendation from work for that... not cut hours.

          What did the mom do? Was she at least thankful you saved her kids' life?

            And if you do, don't take a paid day or week off. Choose that the inconsiderate customer be banned from the store and it's chain stores for life. Just as customers choose where they shop and their battles, stores should be able to choose their customers based on customer behavior. Ok, a guy can dream...

            Kudos for reacting quickly and saving that child's life.

              yes, much kudos for being at the ready for that child; you should get a commendation, not cut hours.

              i can understand wanting your children to stay out of things, but yelling at them won't get it done, i've seen that and the ever so popular 'hands off' method, where mom either ignores junior's behavior, or politely asks them to stop. which one works? none of the above.

              Sorry, but while I can do many things, extracting heads from anuses isn't one of them. (so sayeth the irv)

                And that's not the first time we have heard about SCs wanting clerks to wait on them instead of handling a medical emergency.

                  Wow. HUGE kudos to you for rushing in and saving that little girl. Maybe you can use your extra time off to look for a job more worthy of someone like you.

                    You are wonderful. The consumers, more like blunderful.

                      Wait, what?? There was seriously someone that sucked that bad at life that they were ANGRY that you SAVED A LIFE instead of manning the register? I actually would have told her off without remorse.
