I saw someone die by choking when I used to work in a restaurant. This device would have been helpful. It also would've been helpful if anyone did anything right in an emergency.
There were 3 hostesses standing next to the phone. I was the bus boy.
After a manager told me to go all the way to the back and get another manager, I told him we should probably call 911 first.
The fire dept was across the street.
When I walked up to the phone, none of the hostesses had called 911, because no one told them to.
I called 911, but it was too late.
The man died.
- swombat 11y agoThat sounds awful. I'm sorry you had to be a party to such an event. Even if there were all these other older and more experienced people who should have acted intelligently, it sounds like you're still feeling guilty that you didn't do better. It's hard to realise that in most situations you do have to trust that in your instincts, instead of being able to think that all these supposedly more senior and responsible people actually have a clue... It shakes your faith in people and your sense of security. I'm sad that you had to go through that.
