As a Law Enforcement supervisor I once had to field a call from a member of public who wanted to complain that six officers were having lunch together two minutes from the station. I explained that they were entitled to a lunch break during their shift, and they could all have still responded to a call if required, but we also had other officers on the road at the time - but it took almost an hour before the complainant actually hung up, and I still think they believed I was just covering up for officers doing the wrong thing.

At the Mexican restaurant I used to work at, we would have tons of firefighters, ems and police come eat lunch daily. 8/10 times, I'd drop off their food, and they'd get a call and have to run out, leaving their food behind. I would always box their food up and keep it under the heat lamp. Sometimes they would come back and grab it and run, others they would have time to sit down and actually eat, and when that happened we always remade their meals fresh and sent them home with the original meals ❤ we loved them, great customers and we always appreciated their dedication to the community!

The supervisor is definitely an ex-marine. That growl was personal

[@msmayalanski]

[@SaftonYT]

FYI, using the term "ex-Marine" will catch you some flak from many who served in the USMC. I'm not a veteran, but I've seen it happen several times and figured I would let you know. The "ex" prefix implies that a Marine was discharged from the Corps under circumstances such as a Bad Conduct Discharge, Dishonorable Discharge, etc.

[@jasonvargas7564]

@@SaftonYTso what are you supposed to call them? “Marine from the past” “not civilian but not marine marine” “inactivated marine”

[@SaftonYT]

@@jasonvargas7564 That's the million dollar question, isn't it? Personally, I tend to use the term "former Marine" because it's easy and doesn't have quite as bad of a connotation apparently. For the record, you WILL occasionally still run into guys who take issue with even that moniker by saying something along the lines of "Once a Marine, always a Marine" or "No such thing as a FORMER Marine!!!" or what have you. I respect their views, but at the end of the day I sort of tune a lot of that out because there has to be some kind of easy way of distinguishing an actively serving member of the USMC from some guy who did his time after high school and then got out 20 years ago. Other terms I've heard used: -- Marine Veteran/Veteran Marine -- Prior Service Marine -- "Marine No Longer on Active Duty" Note that "Retired Marine" is only appropriate when referring to a Marine who served a full 20 years in uniform and earned their formal retirement plus all the benefits that entails.

When I worked in retail, these firefighters would always come in for little snacks and I would ask how their day is going, usually they looked super tired and I would always wish them a good day. One time they were just buying some supplies and they had to abandon their shopping to go to an emergency call, I told them I'd keep ahold of their stuff if they wanted to come back for it later. They were super grateful and did in fact come back later on and paid for their much needed shopping. So much respect for people who are on call constantly, they deserve a break

[@shadowwriter329]

Similar thing at my first job. A smallish grocery store always have some emergency responders that come in every week. One time they had to rush out so we took their entire chart filled with stuff and placed it in the back dairy cooler. Most of the time they come back and we ring them up like nothing happened.

[@gamergodofjustice]

What i did for them is i scanned everything printed out the ticket and kept it in a drawer so when they came back id scan the receipt and have it bagged and ready to go as soon as they returned. We were very close to both fire station the hospital and police so i always had their backs if a call came in

[@Fragger_Phrst]

I work in retail. Many firefighters go out and buy stuff to make meals together at the station. Same thing would happen, they would get a call, you would push their cart in the meat or produce cooler because they could be back in 10 minutes or 2 hours.

[@LysisAG]

This exactly. Firetrucks park in the fire lane in front of the grocery store in our town to do their shopping. Some people complained it's not fair. Would you rather they park at the back of the lot? So if they get a call they have to run an extra 500 feet to get to their truck? I guarantee the firetruck won't be in the way if there's in emergency in the store. Firefighters need groceries too!

Coincidence makes that I am fluent in that language, after ca 15 minutes had enough, stood up and walked there calmly, informed them that Homecare is always available and if they want to do the caretaking then they don't have to pay, but can cash out the health insurance.

Working in the hospital as an electrician makes often no time for food. 12h shifts... And everybody is yelling at You, because Your work should be done 3-months ago. Thats happen when there is a one electrician at shift, when it should be at least 30 (that was a very big hospital).

I have also witnessed paramedics getting a call while still having 75% of their food left on their plates. They instantly abandoned it and ran for their ambulance.

A friend of mine went into anaphylaxis while eating at a restaurant. Paramedics were at a nearby table. They immediately stopped eating and helped my friend. She hadn't had allergies until that event.

[@YW2324]

Yikes 😳 glad she got help

[@t-and-p]

To be fair, if you're going to find out you have a really bad allergy, finding out when you're right near paramedics is the way to do it 😎 It definitely wasn't your friend's time to leave this world! Sounds like the guy who decided to drop and have an MI (heart attack) next to an ambulance, in front of the emergency department, as the next shift were heading in. If he'd done that in most other places, he would not have survived. Instead, paramedics, nurses, and doctors all descended on him, rushed him into resus, and 30 minutes later, he was sat up in bed having a cup of tea and a chat 😎 It wasn't his time to leave this world, either!👍

Glad she got help. But that happens really often, more than u think. And the percentage of that goes up the more busier the place is. Nurses/doctors/ first responders are always around, and it is there duty; actual sworn in duty, to do so out in public. They can’t just be like “o I’m not on the clock, no cpr for u” that qualifies for some jail time lol

[@melisue7487]

@@GuidedBombUnit-12 Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) provide life-saving care to patients at the scene of an emergency and during transportation in an ambulance en route to a hospital. EMTs are qualified to assess critical illnesses and injuries, provide first aid treatment, and perform basic life-saving health care. Paramedics are more highly trained EMTs capable of more advanced medical procedures, such as providing oral and intravenous medication, monitoring electrocardiograms (EKG), and performing tracheotomies. Paramedics provide care to patients as they enter hospitals and emergency rooms from ambulances. They’re almost the same, but not quite 😊

True story! In 2021 in Hungary Ambulance officer got reported for eating a hamburger. The register in the ambulance car reported 1 minute 51 seconds off duty. This went viral. Reaction started the "#HAmbulance" movement (Hamburger for Ambulance). A lot of fast food place joined the movement. Ambulance drivers and emergency employees can eat free and with priority (they can cut the line) ever since. Respect whoever is in duty to save lives.

[@goudagirl6095]

My very first job at a fast food place decades ago, we always fed our local police for FREE because we knew they were there to help keep us safe!

The fact that this took place in Hungary makes it perfect.

[@troyt8201]

I was a volunteer deputy and town marshal for 10 years. We would get some nasty looks when we went to the truck stop at 2 am to eat our dinner because we had been busy for 6 hours. Then we’d have to jump up and leave before our food got to us. lol. I have the utmost respect for all EMS personnel. BTW, I love your videos, Reels and TikTok. :)

[@jamesnoonan2009]

God bless first responders who barely have any time to eat or sleep...you guys have my upmost respect

[@cinnamoncigarettes]

Forreal they are literally the closest thing we have to superheros. I used to work at McAlisters, it's a fast casual soup and sandwich place, and first responders would come in all the time and sometimes they would order and pay for their food, and get a call for an emergency, and would immediately just leave to go to the emergency having paid and not gotten food. We tell them that their food is almost ready just 30 more seconds and still they refuse and say every second counts and a person's life and safety is more important than $10 and food at that moment.

[@Soundless_life]

When I worked at a diner, we had a regular who was an EMS, and he would come in daily 2 to 3 times a day. One time though he nearly left his radio he was walking out the door, and I seen it and gave it to him. Another time he dined and dashed because he got a radio message (he came back and paid for his meal later in the day). He was a nice guy.

This is the reason most restaurants I worked for gave free meals(within reason) to first responders like ems and fire fighters.

[@bunnyadams353]

I had one nasty one, but it was because my emergency wasn't as severe as a car accident etc. Or he'd had a bad day with multiple bad things happening. I couldn't walk and couldn't get upstairs to my sons car to go to the hospital without help, so not a specific emergency per se, but I really needed to go to the hospital and couldn't get there without help. So I understood his frustration.

[@EriSenshur]

​@@bunnyadams353 same, I had a PTSD induced "seizure" of sorts (literally what my doctor called it when I asked about it) and when the paramedics arrived it was mostly finishing up but they seemed super upset I needed a ride to the hospital regardless and I'm like "what do you want me to do, not call and it potentially have been life ending?" Chalked it up to he didn't want to be at an airport at 4 in the morning but still

[@BennyDrawes]

That was very nice of you, I bet they were very grateful for you paying, and feeling bad for ruining their lunch. Although, I also think since you didn't get mad about them needing food (lmao) they also probably thought of you as a good person, at least in a way. That may also be why they didn't super mind that they didn't get to eat, especially since you were having a sudden medical emergency lmao I do hope that wasn't recent, and if it was that you have gotten better or are getting better-
