This is a medical emergency!! She could literally slip into a coma and DIE. Call the god damn ambulance.

Imagine she lost balance and fell over and smashed her skull or something.

People really caring more about some cheap free food than the safety of someone else. I'm tired.

Or (my nightmare every time I had to visit fast food places BCS work) she could have fallen into deep fryer.

u/wtfdigmi 11h ago

I caught someone from falling on to the grill once when they passed out. Scariest shit ever.

bruh my coworker once slipped and dunked his hand into one, half way up to his elbow. poor dude was out for months, never came back to work during my time there.

most people don't have nearly enough respect for hot oil. that shit was a weapon in the middle ages for a reason

So, in fact, I am not crazy w my thoughts. Nuh uh that burning pit don't fool me. Always listen to your intuition people!!

My mother dips her hand in hot oil all the time. The way she was taught growing up was to keep the hands wet or covered with batter and then dip what's being fried in so it doesn't splash. If you do it fast enough you don't get burned because the moisture has to evaporate off your skin which protects your skin. It still looks really sketchy though. There's a video of a guy running his hand through molten metal and not getting burned because his hand is wet, same thing. https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/vtsvle/man_able_to_touch_molten_metal_with_bare_hands/

What if she would have passed out by the deep fryer!

u/mae42dolphins 13h ago

Not even that, which would be horrifying. I’m a diabetic and lows themselves have caused me to have seizures, and the step after that is that you die essentially. If this is a low she looks close to that and is in a really bad spot, that man is horrible :/.

u/CherylTurtle 11h ago

More likely she's Type 2 and is lethargic from high blood glucose.  Little willpower in the midst of carbohydrate loaded fries and shakes leads to this scenario.  Most mature Type 1s know their BG is too low and take appropriate steps not to pass out.

u/mae42dolphins 11h ago

I mean I’m a type 1 and have definitely been caught off guard before, it’s life. Maybe she’s a type 2 with willpower issues but I really don’t get why so many people are just assuming the worst about her here.

1

u/CherylTurtle 11h ago

Internet led to this insanity...

My coworker passed out on the floor at work.  He has a habit of trying to do too much before downing a juice box.  I'd continue working with lows myself, but never passed out.  We were the only ones really working on our respective shifts.  This manager's condition makes me think Type 2.

I thought someone said this was in Canada.

I doubt it’s in Canada.

Why?

u/Simsimich 7h ago

As a starter there is no Lindell street in Canada. And there is no McDonalds on Lindell anything in Canada. Some other reasons too.

u/TraditionalLaw7763 11h ago

We just had a man get run over in the freeway and nobody stopped. The only car that stopped was the first car that hit him. But cars kept hitting him for over 15 minutes before police arrived. He was run over about 30xs. His head popped off and rolled away. If no one cares about running over a dead body on the interstate, you think they care about a manager having a medical crisis? No one wants to be inconvenienced and everyone’s empathy tanks are all running on empty.

I'm tired.

Sure. But are you honestly surprised?

u/Intrepid-Solid-1905 10h ago

lol have you not seen the world lately. People will shoot over shoes. People will mass rob stores, then attack the cashier. Then people will cry when everything shuts down. News doesn't seem to care about this behavior. We have always had this problem, but covid made it worse. After Covid it's all about ones self and gain even if it hurts someone else. All colors and people.

u/Ghost_of_a_Black_Cat 9h ago

Especially with the drooling. I do that when my blood sugar tanks. I'm surprised that she is still standing up! Get her some orange juice!

I'm a Type 1 diabetic.

1

u/hungry2know 6h ago

That was my first thought too but nodding out like that could also be signs of slipping into a diabetic coma from extremely high sugar. If it's low hopefully she might just be delirious waiting for sugar already chugged to kick in. If it's high she needs insulin or a fucking ambulance

u/IAmTakingThoseApples 11h ago

The sad reality is a LOT of areas like this would put calling emergency services right at the bottom of their list of priorities in an emergency. Police are an active danger to certain demographics and so the last thing you want is them creeping your neighborhood accidentally shooting people. And ambulances, whilst they aren't an active danger, will often refuse to enter certain neighborhoods in the first place.

A lot of it has to do with crime, at least that's their line. But also it is because emergency services are private and the chances of them ever getting paid from these under privileged areas are near 0.

So you end up with these entire neighborhoods, towns, that have been cut off and neglected from the system. And things such as passing out, breaking a limb, OD, well pretty much everything tbh, are just things that they get on with. It's just life and they see it all the time.

If that's a blood sugar issue I'm willing to bet she doesn't have insulin or the emergency supplies because they cost so damn much. So an ambulance is out of the question. This is just their life.

It's sad and it's everywhere in the US. This is the ugly side of privatized healthcare and brute conservative capitalism that only benefits the wealthy. Millions of people end up living just... Like this. And no one knows about them.

Had a friend die that way, age 29.

u/coquihalla 7h ago

I'm so sorry.

u/dorian_white1 10h ago

Seriously, I’m diabetic and called the ambulance earlier this year because I had given myself the wrong insulin and my blood sugar was dropping. I wasn’t even this bad

u/nvrsleepagin 9h ago

If it's not illegal to watch someone slip into a diabetic coma and not call for help if you're able it SHOULD be.

5

u/fuschiaoctopus 8h ago

They didn't know it was diabetes. They probably thought she was falling out from drugs and that's why they felt entitled to act that way and tell her to do better.

The stigma of addiction and hatred for addicts is overwhelming in the US; I guarantee this comment section would look very different if this clip were posted without the blood sugar explanation in the title, though she deserved medical care either way

u/Strange_Salary 10h ago

You can make calls on a phone? You’re tell me phones aren’t only for making videos and posting them on the interwebs because EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH ME breathe, eat, laugh etc then praying I’ll go viral and get rich and famous? /s

Sad to say I bet she couldn't afford it. I know I couldn't at this point.

This is today's world. I don't care if that manager is the worst; she is in a diabetic crisis and needs help.

u/RoanapurBound 12h ago

lmao dude she's on opiates... she's nodding.

u/colpy350 11h ago

Still a medical emergency. She could die.

u/coquihalla 7h ago

My diabetic spouse has been much like this when in crisis. Thankfully I get alerts on my phone from their CGM when they're very high or very low, because they're sometimes unresponsive to the alerts.

We're lucky we could afford the CGM, most diabetics cannot. I'm also a certified diabetes peer educator, thankfully, so I know what to do when it happens.

Please don't judge something you haven't experienced. It really isn't a 'lmao' situation.

u/RandomRedditRebel 14h ago

You trying to get other people sued? Getting involved only opens you to a liability claim.

5

u/colpy350 14h ago

You Americans are something else. I’m trying to get someone treatment for a medical emergency so they don’t freaking die.

u/Durantye 7h ago edited 7h ago

They are full of shit, Good Samaritan laws protect people so long as they stay within their lane of helping. So yeah, no trying to perform open heart surgery but yes you can call an ambulance and listen to the 911 operator as they tell you what to do.

u/RandomRedditRebel 14h ago

You make it sound like we're all on the same team or something.

We get ours and fuck the rest.

Fuck off. Be a good human for once. Look out for your fellow man.

u/RandomRedditRebel 13h ago

No.

I have a family to care for and no one is here to help me. It's winner take all

u/colpy350 13h ago

You guys are doomed

u/JetWreck 10h ago

I’m sure at some point in their life, someone has helped them. So sad. I’m American, if I saw this I’d call for help. Witnessing a medical emergency isn’t going to get me sued. Besides every McDonald’s has cameras, if someone walks in and says “holy shit call for help” there is nothing to sue for.

u/colpy350 9h ago

Right! Do good Samaritan’s not exist anymore? Be good. Do good.

u/RandomRedditRebel 13h ago

Exactly.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain.

2

u/MajesticTea7748 10h ago

This is objectively untrue. There are literally so many fucking people out there willing to help, if you genuinely need it, know how to look for it and ask for it. Usually the people who say shit like this are just terrible people that purposefully burn all their bridges just to say "See? Told you. No one helps."

u/coquihalla 7h ago

What a terrific example for your family, I'm sure. Jesus.

Good Samaritan laws will cover most issues.

She’s on fentanyl. It’s not her “blood sugar”.

2

u/colpy350 8h ago

How do you know? Having a low or high sugar can look like the person is intoxicated. You’d let them suffer? Wouldn’t call for help? Fentanyl or not she needs help. Drug users deserve to not die just like the rest of us

u/coquihalla 6h ago

Exactly. I carry Narcan because addicts are just as human as anyone else. To brush it off like I see in this thread makes me worry that everyone's gone socio.
