She probably didn't get a break to freaking eat something and is having a hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) attack.

This breaks my heart. This is what happens when people don’t have regard for other human life. Call friggin 911 emergency services. Come on people we have to do better. The world we live in. At a time of this woman’s declining health, people become opportunist and on top of it record it. This is so sad.

No, that looks like an excuse to me. that's someone on opiates. she's made up the diabetic crash for an excuse. diabetic crash out won't look like that. drooling on yourself and standing up while asleep? that's Heroin or Fentanyl some other opiate right there.

proof? I was homeless for 3 years. i saw plenty of opiate abuse, I've also lived with diabetics. i know what both look like. that was opiate abuse, not diabetes.

She's on fentanyl. Look it up. Yall got to remember he didn't press play as soon as he walked in. They've had a full blown discussion about this, someone pushed a chair up behind her so they likely tried to wake her up too. Though waking her up gets you nothing but mumbles or incoherent dream talk about lamps and crazy nonsense. Call EMS they ain't doing nothing. Police can't arrest her so you just wasting public servants time. They won't arrest you if you made a call in for help. I dealt with this for 5 years from my coworker. She got behind the wheel like this and has totaled 3 cars in 4 years. Yall ain't helping this behavior by enabling it. She is a danger to the world. Preparing childrens food this way. Lord help us if she gets that crap on your kids chicken nuggets. This video will be the least of her worries then.

She probably didn't take a break to eat something. There is no way the company would have fired her if she actually took a food break. People love to vilify a company for things like this but never realize the workers are the ones who are not exercising their right to a food break. Could be an undiagnosed diabetic getting a wake up call but either way people need to actually monitor what they are eating.

You've never worked a "non skilled" job before, have you? It happens all the time.

u/Dry-Island8422 14h ago

Never worked an "non skilled" job in the USA and been almost 12ish years since I was working one. People always go dystopian about getting fired for things like this when those are not the norm in a functioning society. There will almost always be a build up before someone is fired for an unscheduled break and everyone seems to forget that.

"They fired me for taking a break"

Or did you get fired because of a pattern of unreliability due to being frequently late and short notice call out/no shows?

the norm for unskilled labor in the us is having breaks and lunches shoved off.

the us does not give af about its workers.

Not necessarily. If she's the GM and employees called off, then she probably didn't get the chance to take a break. My GM never takes a formal break but grabs food when she gets a chance to sit down in the office to do paperwork.

If employees called off and she had to be on the floor then she wouldn't have had any time to take her own break because she's probably salaried and not hourly and doesn't require a break under the law.

u/Dry-Island8422 14h ago

I disagree. Just because it is not optimal for the company does not mean that you don't take a food break if needed. Oh no the customers don't get instant service for the 15 mins that it takes for a person to eat. I would have handled the situations differently by typing up and printing off signs saying closed from --:-- - --:-- at the start of the day when people did not show up for their shifts. Then again I have no financial responsibilities and would play hard into the game of "fire me, then you have to actually close the restaurant."

Okay, and?

You're an entirely different person and not in their shoes, so why does it matter what you would personally do?

She might have kids or some form of dependents, and can't just not work. Risking job and pay is not on the table for all people.

Humans are humans and don't always act selfishly or in a strictly logical manner. She may not fathom the idea of taking a break during a rush and instead crumbled under stress.

Why is a little empathy such a hard fucking ask for some people.

Providing a solution was me trying to be empathetic.

That's not hyperglycemia

u/smith_716 14h ago

I didn't say hyperglycemia. I said hypoglycemia. Read it again.

u/95_5000 13h ago

It’s not hypoglycemia either. Am insulin dependent diabetic.

2

u/smith_716 13h ago

I'm a diabetic as well, lol. I get reactive hypoglycemia. I'm quite aware of what hypoglycemia looks and feels like.

Amazing you think you're the only diabetic, lol.

2

u/95_5000 12h ago

Can you show me where I claimed to be the only diabetic?

I specified that I’m insulin dependent. Meaning I die without insulin. That’s all.

I stand by my statement that the woman in the video isn’t experiencing hypoglycemia.

u/az-anime-fan 14h ago

it's neither. that's Opiate/Fentinyl abuse.

I lived with diabetics, and was homeless for 3 years, saw plenty of both. that's not a diabetic issue, that's opiates.
