Stealing hand sanitizer from the pediatric office.

I got to work last Friday to see that all the bottles of hand sanitizers in the exam rooms have been taped to the countertops by the sinks. Someone has been stealing them.

To steal supplies from the medical office that you count on to help your child seems REALLY low.

It's like people buying six bottles of Tylenol at a time. All that does is ensure that you're going to have a bunch of expired medication in a couple years and make it harder for those who will actually need it to get it.

I took my daughter to the ER the weekend before last, and I joked to the nurse that they should probably lock down gloves and masks. She mentioned that they'd probably need to lock down tp too.

Yeah, it's low.

someone had stolen their bottles of hand sanitizers from their desk. Now they hid it. The worst is coming out in people.

At a grocery store I go to they have the sanitizer dispensers before you walk in to wipe down the handle of your shopping cart....I saw a woman pumping sanitizer out of one of those dispensers into a bottle and put the bottle in her purse.
