Video rental and Vommit

[thecowboywayne]

:eek: I went into my local BBV, and was horrified when someone said that a customer had just vomitted in the entry way. I didn’t see it happen, but when I went to rent my movie, there was a heated debate from the three employees regarding how best to deal with this. The manager just stood there repeating “I’m not doing it.” Over and over.
Meanwhile the stench of fresh puke is permeating the store, while I am trying to just pay for the damned video and leave with my four year old son! I finally got my movie rented, and was able to leave, but I had to carry my boy over the huge splattered area, while the employees continued to debate who was going to clean it!
Oh, and by the way….. a mop is NOT the best way to clean puke off a carpeted entry way….

Sounds like you "could" of given them some good advice. Sometimes youngins dont always make the immediate right choice.

sounds like maybe your an expert on such:)

Well not everyone's got the janitor genes.

If the stink was as bad as you say, you could have just left right away rather than lingered your store welcome and then criticized the employees. Personally, I would never get close to a stranger's internal body fluids.

[Ziggyj]

OH man I always picked up puke. I wouldent let my CSR do it.. Im not that mean.

Call IPT, and let BB foot the bill -- that's part of what they're there for. I always did that and they treated it as an emergency, sending someone out pretty quickly.

[thecowboywayne]

Yes, I have had my experience in cleaning puke... I was one of the few Coasties blessed (or Cursed) not to get seasick in the bering sea... So I was often the poor bastard cleaning after the other poor bastards. I reluctantly admit to causing a lot of them to hurl, it was really kind of a contest. Me and some others would attempt to get the bootcampers to get sick in the most creative ways for cash bets. the best was when we were making buffalo chicken wings one night, and while helping the cooks, i walked out to the main passageway,and held a clear garbage bag full of the red liquid for the wings and when someone would come up the ladder, I would hold my stomach and make gagging sounds.... I got a record 13 hurlers that night! Big drinkin money for Dutch Harbor that patrol!!!

the manager was a slackass who should have been doing something other than hanging on her new husband, making out in the store, while pretending to be MOD!!! :rolleyes:

just for the record, he didn't say, nor did he at that time, criticize the employees. they were standing there doing absolutely nothing but argue who was going to clean it up...

and considering that they are all parents themselves, it was pretty sad.

First, I thought lomi quelled the protection junk.


Next, I pretty much agreed with rk. But my post wasnt so blatant.

Nobody wants to clean up puke and technically with BBV rk was right, bodily fluids you call ipt, but all stores should have some kind of kit to clean it up.

In the entrance it makes it a bit tougher because it does impede the customers. I also had the impression by post cowboy was just a random customer who decided to join and post this because it was a little bothersome. It appears thats not exactly so.

Anyway I go back to my original point and I will add this.....

I cant STAND the stupid unethical DONT SNITCH crap that is going around this country.

But also, if you see something not right SPEAK up. Tell them. I was in the Grocery store last week and this woman was whomping on her kid who was about 4 or 5. I went right over there and yelled at her. She almost mouthed off to me, and I told her you say ONE word I'll have the cops here in minutes and we'll let child services handle it. She became immediatly composed.

Say something....................................!!!!

i probably wouldn't have said something if i were in a random store, unless of course, i was in a really pissy mood...but not in a store where their fellow employee is linked to me...in any case, they were talking about cleaning it up, just not doing it...

altho, if the situation is like your example, nothing on this earth would stop me from saying something!!!

My biggest pet peeve is child abuse. I will kick someone's tail around 10 city blocks if I have to. Everytime I see it, my blood boils. I dont know why. I wasnt an abused child , though I got whipped with a belt a few times more than I wished.

I still also hate puke, lol

i'm the same way about child abuse. there's a program called CASA you should look into...it's a great way to actually do something about abuse.

and...i hate puke too!!! trust me, seen plenty of it...the joys of parenting, ya know!

Dude!!!! WTF??? the last part of my post was humorous.... Get over it. I am personally sick of all the idiots who take their blogs WAAAY too seriously. the thread was about problems at BBwhatever, so i posted a blurb. I don't care about store policies, I really don't care about the inner workings of the video store. I really really don't care about the proper way to clean and dispose of human waste in a store. All I know is I had my kid in there with me, and rather than traverse the mighty pile of puke at the entrance, I hoped they would clean it up. While waiting for that to happen, I rented my video. When I saw they were making NO progress in the matter, I took my CHILD out of the situation. They're lucky I didn't just use the fire escape door to avoid stepping in potentially infectious material.
As far as "protection" , Buddy, I need none.
My wife made a joke, and we have no clue as to what lomi "quelled" I got on this website because my wife has been talking about it for quite a while and I thought it might be fun to join... But I gotta tell you, I really have no interest in the people who obviously spend way too much time playing "Warcraft" instead of joining all of us here in the real world.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, exactly what ethical standards are you refering too? I am not a cop, parametic, or doctor, nor to I have any ties with BB. So exactly what is "unethical" in not hanging out to instruct the employees in the disposal of human fluids? Are you serious? You think it's the customers responsibility to tell the store employees what to do? Do you even think when you type?

[thecowboywayne]

You should have reported the bitch for assaulting the kid... not just talked about it. The years of abuse I could have been saved from if one person had actually followed through....

[HelloItsMeMOM]

Geez, just clean it up .. as an SM I would have considered it my job.

[rk237]

Yeah turtle, but I wasn't meaning he criticized them in person, I was referring to the act of posting here and saying things like "a mop is NOT the best way to clean puke off a carpeted entry" which is criticism. His criticism of the way the puke situation was handled, which left him disgusted, is what motivated his coming to the forum -- but my point was to remind him that the bottom line is that he's Blockbuster's guest and if he doesn't like certain mechanics of their hospitality, he can leave. He was then presented with a choice: deal with stink and get a movie, or go for fresh outside air and do without a movie. He chose the former case, and is now complaining that he had to deal with the stink. I think he expected it to be cleaned up by the time he had selected his movie, but it was a naive expectation: I wouldn't have cleaned it, and I wouldn't have made anyone else do it (unless anyone volunteered to, as has happened because other employees' own saturation points in dealing with stink is frequently a lot lower then mine), but I would have called maintenance. As a manager, that would have been the final word, because as everyone in the store is my guest, he is free to leave at will. I would consider anyone waging criticism of this decision to be an affront to my hospitality akin to a house guest complaining about dust.

oh for fuck's sake, rk...ok, yeah, i'm biased here...he's here because of me, not because of a problem at the store, but the fact of the matter is this forum is based on bitchs about the stores...chis started this site because of a bitch about a store and a situation he experienced...we have bitched time and time again because of the customers and of things with the stores...so, because he came on here and posted a thread about a LEGITIMATE bitch about a store instead of causing a scene at the store, you want to knock him?? Cleaning puke off a carpet with a broom is retarded, no matter how you look at it. And saying it's not the best way to do it is a statement, not a criticism. He didn't come on here and say "those stupid employees couldn't even figure out that a mop isn't the way to do it." It was a bitch of mine too. Would you have tried to cut me down if I had posted it?? Doubtful... but, oh yeah, he's new to the forum, so let's pull out the jackass hats..........

Let me describe the situation...they went in (they being him and our son)...they browsed...somebody puked...he continued his shopping...he went to the register and stood there for SEVERAL minutes while my MOD and 2 other employees stood there arguing, less then 3 feet away from him, about cleaning it up...HE STOOD THERE WAITING FOR THEM TO PROVIDE CUSTOMER SERVICE...all the while smelling the puke. they finally helped him (meaning they did their job and rang up the waiting transaction)...he left the store by picking up our son over the puke on the floor. His bitch, if you re-read, was just that...well here, let me just post it for you...

I am trying to just pay for the damned video and leave with my four year old son!

As far as cleaning it up, I'm sorry, but I disagree with you there. It happened in our business, and it got cleaned up everytime...you don't leave it there until somebody else can come in and do it, which would have taken hours in our area. Like MOM said, just clean it up. I have worked in few more jobs than you have, rk, and NEVER would we have just left it there...particularly in the doorway where anybody coming in would step on/in it. In any case, it sure as hell isn't a naive expectation as far as I'm concerned. If I enter a business, they damn well better make sure that it meets health standards. And going into a business with bodily fluids all around the entrance isn't going to meet them.

And, I'm sorry, but puke in a workplace and dust in a house are two entirely different situations.

Gosh turtle, I didn't mean at all to offend you and I wasn't intending to be a jerk or deliberately wear a jackass hat. I was trying to be as objective as possible about the situation, which represents (and remains) my honest feeling about it. I didn't even realize you were connected to it.

All things aside, I'm horrified that I may have hurt you by anything I've said.

So, referring to the sites founder and his story, you would have been the asshole manager who argued with the customer about whether there was mistake made. that much is obvious to me.
This site was made with that intention... as a forum of the misdealings of Block Buster. But here you are, being a total ass as if i had accused YOU directly of the incident. Grow up!

I'm sorry, but is that not the most fucked up policy??? somebody pukes in the store, so let's leave it here for others to step around, over, near, by just so we can wait for somebody else to come in and do it?? I'm sorry...I don't agree with it. Particularly, like I said, when our maint. crew would be an hour or so, at least, away...I'm not going to stand around smelling that smell while I wait. Granted, I don't agree with somebody puking in a store and not cleaning it up on their own, but that's just me...I wouldn't do it. But still...

Like I said, the problem was making him stand there and wait...and wait...and wait...

It's just typical of the forum, rk...I'm sick of watching people come on here and get bashed for saying something, especially when it's something that any one of us would say or bitch about. It's one of the reasons why so many people have left...well, that and the spam!! :D

OMG you reminded me.

I bought this stuff and was making it, rofl

Phone rang, and it was my mother. I talked to her as I walked outside and around yard. Probably about 1 hour. Went back in and all my shells were crusty brown.

I put the cheese on them anyway and ate them. They werent very good but I was ticked I wasted it.

I cant wait to try them as intended soon.


ps: spam has cause more leavers, as i review all my old pm's.

Sorry for interjecting my story and disrupting your precious and dare I say "naive" hold on the reality of what this whole thing is about....

Let me start over, because it's very clear to me that I am coming across in a different manner than I mean. I'm sorry for offending you also, and about using the word naive, as it doesn't connote what I meant, and I also hadn't factored in that the end result was a negative experience for you, which ended up with you coming to this site. My position is that, unfortunately, you probably would have had exactly the same experience were the store my own -- because of reasons I've said, but I don't think my store would have deserved a post on IHBB. So my reaction is to defend the nameless store. I think I ran my shifts well (I don't even work there anymore), and therefore was never apt to taking much criticism from strangers, especially those I considered guests, which was my conception of my relationship with customers. By naive, I meant not privy to the thought mechanisms and policy decisions that may have factored into the manager's decision to not clean the puke right away -- not naive as in all that other garbage that carries with the word -- and I'm sorry for unwisely choosing that word because I don't have any personal problem with you whatsoever. I just disagree that criticism was warranted.

I think I'm putting the pieces together relating turtle to the story, and I would like to reiterate my apology because I certainly and absolutely did not mean to come across as anything but a contributor to this discussion, even if a disagreeing one. I don't believe I've been deliberately rude to newbies since I was one myself and jockeying for position on the forum, but this was a long time ago, though there may be incidences more recently that I can't recall -- and as it is somewhat of a practice on this forum I can see how my disagreeing posts, and malchoice of words, could be so construed.

CowboyWayne, I'm sorry we're off on the wrong foot, but as my grandmother used to say, that just means the next step is the right one; and turtle you mean too much to me for me to ever, ever, ever even by accident cause you pain (except in relation to your raiders allegiance), so for whatever it's worth, I'm sorry for my part in all this confusion.

[Angry]

IT WAS A JOKE!!!!!Who cleans puke by spraying it around with a friggin mop?????? Funny, but they were debating that as I left!:eek:

Heh, I must admit I've done this before. At the time we didn't have rubber gloves or even sponges at my store, so I took some carpet cleaner, allowed it to dilute on the rug for a bit, poured some water over it, used a mop with a sponge-head, and rubbed over the stain. Afterwards, I vacuumed over the area to pick up the remnants. Probably not the best method, but I don't want to get up close and personal with vomit :p

I do agree with you that a vomit spell shouldn't be left around like that, and can't blame you for your disgust. The manager there should've sucked it up and just cleaned the stain.

It is a fucked up policy, but it supersedes the fact that I wouldn't go near it. I would in other employment situations perhaps, but BB always cut so many corners with its employees, that I would have no problem leaving it as long as it took for maintenance to come. It is quid pro quo to years of the way they treated me despite what I put in... So when it came to poop or puke or blood, I just wasn't going there.
What I would do in the practical sense it probably prop open the exit door to use instead as the entrance, or I would drag the rubber rugs (from behind the desk) over top of the puke (yeah).. maybe not because then their underside would get pukey, but I'd consider it just like I did now, and this would all take time. Also it would be unfair to let customers walk in inches over the puke without them even knowing its there. There would probably be a better temporary solution than that, but the bottom line is that I wouldn't touch it, and I wouldn't ask anyone else to.. so in the meantime, customers who wanted a movie would have to deal with stink and hopping over the mess.

[AbandonedDreams]

In my store some kid puked once a few minutes before I got there, and by the time I got there my SM and the kid's mom had the whole mess cleaned up. We went to the dollar store next door and got some air freshner/sanitizer and the store smelled bad for a little while, but its better than...


WHen I worked at a Sheetz I was ringing this guy up and he asks me where napkins are. So I point him to the coffee bar when my coworker who had been mopping the floor behind him looks up at me, wide eyed, and starts mopping right where this kid is (its on tile). So I realize the kid is throwing up and tell his dad to either take him outside or into the bathroom....men's door is locked so the dad just stands there holding his puking kid looking confused. So the mopping coworker tells him to go into the ladies room. It took my poor coworker over an hour to re-mop what she'd just mopped, and it smelled so bad that I couldn't finish out my shift because I kept gagging.

First off, no harm no foul. I was relating a story that when i look back on it, I think of it in a more humorous way than negative... thats just how i roll.
I joined the site to get in with what I had heard was a cool group of people to BS and talk about a gammut of topics, so I wanted to post SOMEthing to get things started, and thats the one remotely off-key story I have with BBV. I have never directly criticized any employees of any BB store. Again, just how i roll. I don't really get the whole get mad and try to talk down to each other on the net thing, which is why I haven't gotten involved with this type of site before. I have no need to whip it out and measure and compare it...
I just started to play halo online, and I just want to play, not talk crap to eachother. but there are individuals who just love to get pissy and start the insults. (By the way, i don't mean that's what happened here at all)
Any how, bygones are bygones and all that, I hope we alll can have a little fun here, and move forward. Now I have to go slave away at my job all night..(hee...heee...hee) Later!:D

[Woodstock]

RK - sounds like the store that the OP was in only had one set of doors, so while I understand that your idea would work at your store it prolly wouldn't work in this case. What I would have done (and have done) is called IPT when someone puked/peed in the store. However, the doorway is another thing. I probably would have taken out the vestibule mat/grate type things out of the store (since a puke in the doorway at my store would be on that) and do my best to get the stench off of the cement. Then call IPT about the mats.

CowboyWayne, I'm sorry we're off on the wrong foot, but as my grandmother used to say, that just means the next step is the right one; and turtle you mean too much to me for me to ever, ever, ever even by accident cause you pain (except in relation to your raiders allegiance), so for whatever it's worth, I'm sorry for my part in all this confusion.

Hey now, leave my perfect Raiders outta this!! ;)

Like I said earlier, rk, I'm very biased where thecowboy is concerned. :D And, we all know I don't come out of the shell often to join in the fracas, but there is a time when I must do it! Unfortunately, I knew what would happen with his first posts just because of the actions of this board. While I adore all of you...ok, almost all (jarhead was an exception...and the red posting bitch!), there is a strong tendency to go apeshit on the n00bs for little to no reason...so, I was on the defensive for him before anybody even responded. Especially since he's joined only because he's spent the last 2 years listening to me tell him about the cool people on the board!! even tho they do bash my teams...

This thread is gross, just clean it up. Damn this is making me sick now

me too...ugh!!

It is a fucked up policy, but it supersedes the fact that I wouldn't go near it. I would in other employment situations perhaps, but BB always cut so many corners with its employees, that I would have no problem leaving it as long as it took for maintenance to come. It is quid pro quo to years of the way they treated me despite what I put in... So when it came to poop or puke or blood, I just wasn't going there.
What I would do in the practical sense it probably prop open the exit door to use instead as the entrance, or I would drag the rubber rugs (from behind the desk) over top of the puke (yeah).. maybe not because then their underside would get pukey, but I'd consider it just like I did now, and this would all take time. Also it would be unfair to let customers walk in inches over the puke without them even knowing its there. There would probably be a better temporary solution than that, but the bottom line is that I wouldn't touch it, and I wouldn't ask anyone else to.. so in the meantime, customers who wanted a movie would have to deal with stink and hopping over the mess.

RK - sounds like the store that the OP was in only had one set of doors, so while I understand that your idea would work at your store it prolly wouldn't work in this case. What I would have done (and have done) is called IPT when someone puked/peed in the store. However, the doorway is another thing. I probably would have taken out the vestibule mat/grate type things out of the store (since a puke in the doorway at my store would be on that) and do my best to get the stench off of the cement. Then call IPT about the mats.

there are two doors, but they are side by side, so it's essentially one big door...and yeah, the only way out would be to step in the yuck...and, it's carpeted, so there's no cleaning it easily...and the doors would have gotten stuck if mats had been moved there...so, it's a situation where you either close the store or suck it up and clean...

Sorry I couldn't rep ya, but ...

I think we may think differently because we are Moms ... and as a Mom vomit is nothing .... my kids were into the projectile kind

Ugh!!! Probably. Read your PMs...I'm going to send you a message about the boys first night home from the hospital...but i'll be nice and not post it in the forum!!! ;) If they can't handle the vomit, ....

And, you couldn't rep me cuz you just repped me for myspace pics of the kids!!! Thanks for that, BTW!

I could of taken my Aunt's dog there. He'd of eaten it right up.

That mutt even eats from the litter box.

That's cuz dogs are disgusting!!! My dogs would do too (and do doo the litter box). yech!!!

[brantheman]

We have this stuff at my store...I forget what it's called. It's this powdery substance that you pour onto the vomit, let it sit for a moment, and it dissolves into the vomit. Then you just sweep it up and dump it outside! If the vomit is fresh, this cleans it right up.

[turtletime]

Now I have to go slave away at my job all night..(hee...heee...hee) Later!:D

you just have to bring home the bacon for your super duper family!!! ;)

and, this is my 2k post...in your puke thread... eewww :rolleyes:

[rk237]

Ok next we need to work on you and Wayne's teams. Does it have to be the Raiders and Seahawks? May I suggest, perhaps.. almost any other two teams? ;) A nice Eastern team perhaps, like the Jets or the Bengals??

No? Oh well at least you guys aren't Patriots fans! :D

Brainwashing children, what else? :)
At least your family interests are separated by conference. I suppose I won't win any favors with your husband if I mention my favorite NFC west team has always been the niners... but that's only because I hate the raiders just soo much that liking their bay area rival makes it even more fun. As my old 49ers loving boss (from SF area) used to say, "I have two favorite teams: the 49ers, and whatever team is currently playing the raiders." :D

When Hayley was about 2 she came walking into the room with something in her mouth. She was holding it like it was a cigar. She had seen her father and his friends smoking them ...

I asked her what it was she said .... "I got me a stogie, Mama" ....

It was a "treasure" from the litter box :eek: :eek:

Needless to say, the little box moved to the cellar and we added a kitty door for the kitty to use ....

yuk ... yuk ... yuk

Luckily I got Delhomme off waivers now.

Funny how the asshole elites jump on the guy's thread and then it turns into spam and goes completely OT with football talk... when it was mentioned in this very thread that the asshole tactics and spam are what is causing people to leave.

IHBB will have a completely new cast of characters by next summer unless Chris steps in and stops this spam shit. Post counts mean nothing, all spam does is clutter up the threads and make reviewing them for on topic info a chore.

I agree, when I fight a friend or 2, another one helps pick them up off the ground and helps em clean up and medicate their injurys.

Then we immediatly discuss the next weeks games.

After giving it much serious thought, I realize football actually is on topic for this thread. Football was one of the first to use video for instant replay, right? And many a football game has caused many a fan to vomit after drinking too much and watching the game right? So, there ... right ON topic.

:) :p

My aunt crapped her pants right in the middle of walgreens. Wet runny and disgusting, clearly visible to all on her pants. She ran for the door where there was about 75 people waiting for a massive rain storm to subside. She ran to her car smelling to high heaven and embarrased as could be.

I work in a deli now, and when I first got there they told me the woman I replaced had been leaning on the sink, 5 feet away from the trash can, and not feeling well. Since she was already on her second write up, after she puked all over the floor they fired her.
