Yesterday I was on-duty and got a call that there was a car parked in the fire lane outside one of our stores with an elderly man in the back seat. I got there and was told by another customer that the car was there when they got here 1/2 hour ago, and was STILL HERE. Oh, did I mention that it was 100 FRIGGAN DEGREES OUT!?!? The windows were down, but still, in the metal body of a car it would have been even hotter. I asked the man if he was all right. He looked scared and not all there and said he was. So we had the store page for the owners of the car and an employee went to get him some water. I swore that if nobody came in 1-minute I was calling the police. Then these 2-middle-aged ladies just sauntered out of the store with their shopping muttering "Yeah yeah, we're coming." The store manager who was there gave them the dirtiest look and told them it was too hot to do that to a person. I told them it was unacceptable, what if something had happened to him in this heat, and that we had been getting him some water. The women just put their noses in the air, muttered "Whatever." and put their bags in the car. I also told them that it had been another customer that had reported them and that they were lucky the customers only called us and not the police. THAT got their attention and their eyes were shooting daggers at me as they drove-off.
All of us agreed that these women were disgusting. They acted like bringing that man into the store was such a huge deal, never mind that we would have provided them with a wheelchair.
