The safety and security of the people here is absolutely their problem. What do we have to do wait for someone to get stuck by one of these needles or heaven forbid a grand child gets a hold of it. There is a simple solution to this problem, install sharp container somewhere behind the desk or near the bathrooms and have the local fire department change them out properly and securely. To have the staff at mulberry say it is not their problem and that I should take the needle home with me because they are not a hospital is un acceptable period ! This now makes me think that they have no training in these situations at all. Do they have training in blood borne pathogens incase there is a person that falls or any other osha training ? This problem needs to be addressed ASAP . Who do I talk to about this problem? Any help is appreciated, thank you

With that kind of experience you don’t need social media to learn how to address your problem………….
