Yesterday evening was late night shopping at our Debenham's, so we went. We did manage to do some of our Christmas shopping, but I wanted to tell you about an 'incident' and the absurdity of what people sometimes say.
A assistant was mopping the floor and a girl of about 12 slipped over on it. The assistant pointed to the "Caution, wet floor" sign. The girl, as she got up, said, "Sorry!" WHY?? She had done nothing wrong. The assistant said, "Be careful!" Rather redundant as she had already slipped over!
Oh, the joys of late-night shopping ...
Well this is an interesting one, Health and Safety Require that when floors are being washed then yes signs have to be put up in the area warning that the floor could be slippery when wet.
ReplyDeleteIn this day and age when people wish to sue you for the slightest thing then Yes the member of staff was correct to point to the signs in which the customer had obviously not observed and that they were being corectly displayed in the area avoiding the need for the customer to Sue the company.
Yes the Girl was also right to appologise for falling over as her actions not only endangered her life but that of other customers who were shoping in that area.
