AIBU to expect the shop to close ?

I don't think you are over reacting at all Izzywizzy

I just don't think this is something you expect when you are out having a cuppa or doing a shop. Maybe the indignity you felt for the poor man has added to your upset.

Try and think happy thoughts.

I suppose none of us can really choose where and when the inevitable will happen.

gillybob I was upset, I am upset. I'm not very good at dealing with death so I wonder whether I'm over reacting ?

I hope his family was called.

Oh that's awful Izzywizzy . Maybe they weren't allowed to move his body. In which case I agree that the shop should have closed temporarily until the undertaker arrived.

I expect they did phone the emergency services. But if the poor soul was already dead then maybe someone who could still be saved would have been given a higher priority.

I bet you were terribly upset though Izzywizzy.

To clarify, the emergency services had been there for some time but sadly the man could not be saved. I believe they weren't allowed to move the body which I understand. What I don't understand is that the shop continued business as though all was ok when it certainly wasn't for this man and his no doubt grief stricken family

Did they think he would get up and walk away? Surely somone could have phoned the emergency services?

Why on earth wasn't an ambulance called for, never mind the Undertakers?
