Weirdness #1

OK, so I'm just going to take a few minutes over lunch here to share some weirdness.
A while back, we hired a warehouse employee who seemed really good at first, but turned out to be both a thief and a drug addict. We'll call him "Bullwinkle" in this story.
We struggled with Bullwinkle for a while, tried to help him, b/c he has 4 kids, but in the end his life totally fell apart and he ended up in jail, his wife turned out to also be a druggie, and it turns out they were beating their kids and each other. Bad scene. He finally got locked up about a year ago and we thought it was over, he was found with prescription drugs in vast quantities.
Well, dude always got a lot of phone calls at work, but he handled them well, and got off the phone quickly, I never really paid attention. After he was gone, the calls kept coming, and even increased.
They're all from online pharmacies. They all follow the same pattern - a person who only recently learned the English language asks for Bullwinkle
(at first I said "he's not here anymore, don't call back" but they never quit calling and then they started getting rude, insulting me and my wife, I cussed a few of them out, so then I started hanging up, they still call every day)
and if I say "I'm Bullwinkle", they say "Mr. Bullwinkle, we show that you have a prescription for Xanex (or any of a half dozen other drugs), we can offer you a 180-day supply. Do you want them COD?"
If I say "yes", they confirm his old address and say they'll ship right out 2nd-day air.
Wha? This is one hell of a "war on drugs" we're fighting, ain't it?

| |  That guy is stupid. I hate people and employees that think they can do stuff like that and then they think you or the company owes them. It has gotten out of hand with people and drugs. Get a life!! |
