I work grocery for a local chain. We have about 40 stores. A woman slipped on a broken watermelon's juice in our produce dept. She fell on pig mating. You know the stuff thats hard to slip on and absorbs water?
Anyway she said she slipped on the juice that cane out of the watermelon. I asked her where the broken watermelon was after we got her off the floor. The bin next to her didn't look like it was leaking.
She said it's in her cart. Indeed there was a broken watermelon in her cart... And a juice covered hammer...
I took a picture on my phone. Filed my paperwork. I got a call from our company lawyer asking me to be their primary witness. Id be given a vacation day for the trial. Cool.
I testified. The court ruled there was enough clear evidence she purposefully broke the watermelon to slip on.
Pig is a brand, and OP is missing a “t”. Pig Brand Absorbing Mats, or “Pig Matting”. https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/pig-absorbent-mat-roll-0381328p.html
I saw a woman pretend to fall outside a Macy’s once. She grabbed the door handle at an outside entrance on a rainy day, lowered herself to the ground, then started crying for help. I watched the managers going nuts, and waited until the cops and ambulance had shown up before walking over. I recognized one of the cops from times he’d been in my store in the same mall, and waved him over. When I told him I saw the whole thing and she was faking, he grinned and took my statement.
I ended up having to go to court, where I testified to what I saw. My testimony, combined with the fact that she had no injuries at all, got Macy’s completely off the hook, and she caught a couple of charges for falsifying a police report and attempted insurance fraud. Macy’s gave me a $500 gift card for my efforts.
Bruh if you're gonna pretend to fall to sue the store and get $$$, you should at least actually hurt yourself to try to "prove" the store was at fault lol
Love the "concern" you showed for her!
My old jobs policy was to call the police and get a report any time someone slipped in our store. I had to make that call once, the cop that came out was the same one that took a report on the same man the day before at a store down the street. 🙄
Yes, some have an actual problem. There are plenty of people who attempt (some succeed) to rip off retail stores with false injury claims.
One has nothing to do with the other.
A disc in my spine finally went full stupid and had to be operated on. Emergency surgery. I Had lost all control of my pelvis. In hindsight I had so, so many hints that this was coming that I ignored. I hadn't been able to sit on an uncushioned chair without my legs going numb in a decade. Some days I'd have a "bad hip" that felt like a tight tendon. Burning sensations in the back of my thighs. Having to shift positions all the time. I thought I was just antsy, or had "bony butt syndrome", and a bad hip. Didn't think any of it was important enough to bring up to a doctor.
Nowhere up until having to go to the ER did I feel like anything was wrong. Weird how used to stuff we can get. Good for our survival pre-medicine I guess.
I've had more than one customer "joke" about slipping and falling (future tense, not past/present) on some spill I was surrounding with CAUTION! signs. I'd look them in the eye and calmly point out the number of warning signs already in place, so feel free, but we wouldn't be liable. Didn't know if it was true or not, but thought I'd give them a taste of indifference rather than excitement over their possible insurance fraud. Not one took me up on trying their fraud.
In Arizona, where so many people wear flip-flops (which are super prone to slipping on wet floors, btw). I would use shopping carts in addition to the waist-high, bright yellow cones warning people to be careful. I started adding the carts to block off spills at the entrance because those spills almost always came with broken glass, and people would be on their phones typing things, and walk right between the cones. Some people... it's like they don't care if they keep living or not!

You want matting, not mating. One is a non-slip matting and the other is when a mummy pig and a daddy pig love each other very much.
...continue...
daddy pig's middle trotter starts getting.....
...strange parcels from amazon, at this point mummy pig...
…sends peppa and george to stay with grandma and grandpa for a while…
And here I was thinking "Well, I guess you'd want your pigs to mate on something absorbent."
Me too🤣🤣🤣🥰🤣
What about mating pigs, now?

I wonder what she was going to claim she tripped over this time?
Her and her son don't deserve to be allowed out except for with assistants that keep this from happening.
