Invaded

Today, one of my employees called in after his 8-hour shift, explaining that he had bed bugs at home, found one on his shirt, and thinks they are in the store. I own a mattress shop. They'd spread. FML

I'm sure he didn't intentionally bring them into the store. Just call an exterminator, and you should be fine :)

At least the employee told you! Before you totally freak out, call an exterminator and make sure they're really bed bugs. Sometimes people mistake other insects for them. If you do have them, see if insurance will cover any losses you have on the mattresses.

Ouch, sorry OP. Call the exterminator quick then. That would be awful for business.

Holy crap! I had bed bugs before and they werent easy to get rid! You have to keep hunting for the main spot they give birth at and keep a tight watch on them.

53, if he knew his home had bed bugs, and he went to work. He might not have deliberately caused epidemic, but caused he did. Mrs O' Leary 's cow didn't mean to cause the fires in San Francisco , but she did. Allegedly.

If he knew that why did he come in the first place? That's common logic...

So, we have an employee who came to work when he shouldn't have, and we have employees in the world who should come to work but come up with an excuse not to? Work ethic. You're doing it wrong. Seriously though OP, call an exterminator immediately. I'm not sure how to get rid of bed bugs, but I assume that's a logical first step. Unfortunately, if they've spread that badly, you may have to close down the shop until the infestation is handled, thus resulting in a loss of money. I hope you somehow reprimand the employee too. Unless, of course, he noticed the bed bugs after he got home from work, not before he went to work. I guess it depends on the circumstances, but either way, FYL.

Wow.. I'm a business student and I can only fathom how bad this could possibly be.. For all the things to happen to a mattress store.. Bed bugs has got to be the worst. Good luck.. Maybe they didn't get to the store... Who knows?
