My Dad was walking there, the people saw him on their way, then saw him in the same area they saw him before on their way out. (I'm not sure if he managed to actually get to town) So they drove him home, then reported they took an older man home, so social services are going to visit him at some point. We're already getting another doctor visit in June/July time as well, though that may need to be brought forward. At the moment we're seeing how it plays out whilst we visit when we can.
Yeah the world certainly is doing a lot of things, ha ..ha. Just gotta go with our own flow I suppose.

My managers should have been able to do the basic FUCKING math to be able to figure out that this is not enough time between shifts, but this is Florida, so who gives a fuck about things like "basic human courtesy" or "coming to work at your best"!
I'm honestly thinking of just staying up all night, and coming into work like that. If they're going to fuck me like this, why should I even attempt to get in there at my best? Fuck this bullshit. Late to this party, but I'm pretty sure it's a rule that there's supposed to be 10 hours minimum between shifts, so ending at 10pm would mean you shouldn't be back in until at least 8am. Oasis also flags such shifts if a manager tries to make them, although they can just ignore that like any other flags that come up such as scheduling someone outside their availability, so even if a manager can't do basic math of how much time is between closing/opening shifts the system literally tells them.
Also aren't you front service? What the fuck task are you being scheduled in at 5:30am for?! Nobody on front end gets to my store until about 6:30am and that's just the person who opens up the cash office and sets up all the registers and such.

From the first part, I thought social services were called to go find him walking home and was wondering why the police wouldn't be called instead, but then see you mentioned he was given a ride home by folks who spotted him and then social services was called. I would ask why he didn't wait for the next bus which would've surely been quicker than walking into town, but I'm assuming his condition was the reason for his choice. Depending on where he was walking from, the biggest concern I'd have would be the lack of actual footpaths on any of the ways into town which means either walking on the edge of the roads or trying not to eat shit going through fields or alongside ditches and shit.

JimCo came around that night to clean our stuff, so I was supposed to come back at 530 AM to help bring it all in. I got lucky, though, and someone was there that I could switch shifts with so I didn't have to wake up at an unreasonable hour. I then had to do a twelve-hour shift because someone had a family emergency (FUUUUUUUUUUCK THAT DAY!), but that's not the point, right now.
