Why the heck doesn’t the local EMS remove the body? And the mortuary pick it up from the closest hospital morgue?
The family had all rights to that person. The store had none. Their obligation was to call 9-11...
Most stores have pallet jacks. They could have at least rolled the stiff on to one and rolled it out next to a dumpster out back.
“Clean-up in aisle 5.”

“Medical examiner in aisle 5.”

No policy overrides calling 9-11 and human kindness to the family.
Vons has ingredients for afterlife.
“Horner-Smith said her corporate managers told her to cover the body with carts and umbrellas while the store remained open.” TCB, taking care of business.
Their cinnamon buns are to die for.
It’s Los Angeles - life has no worth and dad bodies to walk around or step over are the norm....hopefully the manager and someone at “Corporate” are lout of jobs. I can’t believe the family members didn’t tell them to go to Hell and get authorities there while protecting the body of their loved one.
A lot of macabre jokes about golf and players dying and other players playing around the body and EMTs.
” callous attitude towards the needs of the workers “
... workers ...
What a good little communist Ms Finn is.
We’re talking third-world dystopia here.
No excuse why the body should remain in the store for some four hours. I was an EMT for more than 20 years and in a CPR case we would have transported the patient to the hospital where they would officially be declared deceased.
Had a neighbor fall over stone cold dead while grocery shopping. Relatively young, in his 40s, died from an aneurism. I don’t think they left him lying there though.
He was Vietnamese, had 3 daughters, no relatives stateside, the gos had to move to Vietnam , which is where their mother was. I’m sure that would have been a culture shock.
Were they waiting for the FDA to certify the deceased as Angus beef?
“Granada Hills Vons stays open after customer dies in bakery aisle, employees say”
Carbs have been killing Americans for DECADES now...in this case very quickly.
My neighbor just died in his yard about 10 days ago and his wife and I couldn’t save him with CPR though we both tried, the medics came and worked on him and then pronounced him, and then he lay on the ground for hours until a detective and medical examiner could examine everything about 4-5 hours later, he was 86.
How are their cinnamon rolls?
“This situation is just one incident of that kind of callous attitude towards the needs of the workers,” Finn said.
What about the needs of the deceased FAMILY and customers shopping, Union Witch?
We were sitting at a table next to the dance floor of a cruise ship about five years ago. A guy who was dancing dropped dead. Staff swooped in within seconds, scooped up the guy, and moved him out. The music and dancing never stopped. Most people didn’t even know it had happened.
Kinda sad, as he was cruising alone with a singles group. No family there. The coroner’s truck was waiting at the next port.
