Final score: Me 1, Dead Guy 0
last thurday night i found a dead body behind the bar. i though he was sleeping. I even poked him with "the bum stick" but, figured the guy was passed out. Being the oh so nice bartender that i am i let the guy sleep. i think if i had actually tried to wake him up he might still be alive. last week sucked some major ass. this week is better. i suppose i'm in good shape as long as I don't find anymore bodies.

We normally leave bums where they are, unless people continually call us and harrass us because they don't like to see a homeless guy near their favorite Jamba Juice. Then we go and give them a bottle of water and ask them to move to a more discreet location. Or we offer to call the LARC van for them (LARC=Local Alcoholic Rehabilitation Clinic) so they can sober up and get something to eat if the facility is not too full.
Hell, sometimes we give them taxi vouchers to the nearest hospital that way they can go see a doctor and get taken care of a bit. The cool thing about that is that sometimes they get to take a shower (it's actually for the sake of the doctor, nothing is worse smelling than a homeless person's feet, no joke) and sometimes the Salvation Army or another organization will bring them new shoes and socks so that's cool.
Still, be secure in the fact that you let homeboy die with a little shred of dignity and didn't pull a "Don't die near my workplace" type of bit. That would have just been plain rude.
