Say NO! to drugs people. Say no.
Last night was one crazy night at Old Chicago.
While I was eating dinner (thus not at the front), a bum snuck into our bathroom. One of the other guests found him convulsing on the floor and ran to tell someone. Unfortunately for her, it was my friend/co-worker Nikki.
Nikki raced into the bathroom expecting to find a man having a seizure. Since his face was bouncing off the tiles, she rolled the bum over. That's when she saw that he a tourniquet around his arm, a syringe in his hand, and a spoon near him on the floor.
Yup, he was doing HEROIN in our bathroom.
So about ten paramedics show up. The folks from detox came and so did the fire department. I was walking them back to the scene of the crime when I hear, "Stop him! That's him!" And the bum is stumbling towards me.
Luckily, the strapping paramedics jump in front of me and snag him before he falls on me.
They emptied out his pockets and found ridiculous amounts of drugs on this man. They filled one of our to go bags which is a bit larger than a grocery bag. Then detox took him out the back and away.
Note to self and good LJ friends: DON'T TAKE DRUGS!!
Also: DON'T GIVE MONEY TO BUMS!!
Give them a granola bar or something instead.
