Work Stinks
I worked as a pharmacy tech. a few years ago. It was o.k. The pay was straight, it was close to my house and the owner was really flexible with my school hours.
The pharmacy was located (it has since moved) on Welch Blvd. If you know Flint, your first thoughts should be :HOOD!! It was sandwiched in between a Little Caesars pizza and a dollar store.
Little Casesar's manager, Lon, paid a crackhead, that I affectionately called "Crackhead Rick"( His name was indeed Rick and he smelled of and smoked the ever popular crack rock) to clean the parking lot. He had to sweep and pick up trash every day. He also collected cigarette butts that were discarded, but I dont think he was paid to do that. I am pretty sure he just smoked them in the alley.In exchange for his services, Crackhead Rick was paid with a large pizza daily. You could always see him in the afternoons walking down Welch with a pizza box and a grin.
Anyhoo, one morning at about 9 a.m., I was waiting on a customer.We both noticed a car pull up in the parking lot, directly in front of the pharmacy. It was an old school caddy, with five people inside. An old man began to get out and I assumed he was coming in to pick up his medications.
As the old man exited the vehicle, a passenger lifted his walker out of the car. The old man straightened up, held on to the walker, and began to unbutton his pants. I just kept staring, not for the possible view of old man weiner, but out of pure confusion.
The old man (who had to be like 80) pulled his pants and under-roos all the way down and started to bend over. He bent over directly towards the street and just released.The customer that I was waiting on and I stared in disbelief.
I said "Is he....." I couldnt even get it out before the customer said " He's boo booing." I saw things begin to drop from behind the old man. I really wanted to run, but I was frozen. I was thinking " Is this man really using the bathroom, number two style, as his family and friends in the car are just listening to the radio and eating Little Debbie Cakes?''
As the man was, um "going" Crackhead Rick ran from down the block and was screaming. He got directly in the old man's face, mid drop and was like " Aye man. Dont be boo booin out here. I gotta clean that sh!t up!!" The old man replied with one last drop. ( Im sorry, I know this is gross)!!!!!
The front passenger in the car got out of the vehicle, with a roll of toilet paper. She handed the roll to the old man, who then proceeded to wipe himself. He threw the used toilet paper on the ground and the woman put his walker back in the car. They then left the parking lot, with Crackhead Rick doing circles around the pile and cussing to himself.
