From New York Post (caution: tabloid):
A Southern California supermarket is facing backlash after keeping its doors open for hours with a dead shopper lying in the bakery aisle — even asking workers to block the body with shopping carts.
The shocking incident unfolded July 5 at a Vons in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Granada Hills, where a customer died inside the store. Rather than closing, management continued serving shoppers as the body remained in the store for hours, CBS LA reported. Employee Paszion Horner-Smith — who was working as a supervisor when the customer suffered a medical emergency — got choked up when recalling the incident. “How can anybody do that,” Horner-Smith told CBS LA. “I mean the lack of empathy is just horrible. It is horrific.”
