Friken dirtbags taking advantage of the elderly.

Years ago I did some work for a retirement home doing Reflexology and Aromatherapy on the staff members and while there I was asked by one of the retirees about getting her some essential oils. The first time she purchased two bottles, I then started getting calls from her every few days to bring her more.

This went on for a little while and on one occasion I told her that she had more supplies than I and should take a break for a while but she insisted I keep bring in these oils.

I brought this up with the manager and asked that she have a talk with the family letting them know I was concerned money was going out the door. ( oils go from $7 - $40 per bottle depending on the various aromas..she tended to go for the expensive ones )

The family thanked me and I never received another call from her since.

I could have made a small bundle off the woman but it just was not right. The guys in the article are friken sleazebags.
