Blood Cleanup Atlanta: A Shopping Nightmare
Shopping involves some obvious obstacles and frustrations: parking, getting the best bargain, waiting in line, avoiding impulse purchasing while waiting in line, et cetera, et cetera. But most of us aren’t actively watching out for danger and hazardous situations as we stroll the isles of a store. Carmella certainly wasn’t thinking about what dangers lurked around the endcap when she was shopping at a large retail store in metro-Atlanta one Monday morning. There was just 30 minutes left before the 10% senior discount expired when she slipped, she remembers,
My first thought was that I had to get myself up and to the register to check out or I’d not be eligible for my discount!
Carmella had slipped in a puddle of water presumably from a spilled child’s cup in another shopper’s stroller. It was much more than an embarrassing stumble, however, and Carmella became quickly aware of this when other shoppers and several employees ran towards her with towels, one shopper frantically dialing on her phone and another employee screaming out in distress for help. Carmella had hit her head on the edge of a metal shelf and overturned her shopping cart across her legs in an attempt to break her fall.
There was quite a bit of blood I remember, and I felt so sorry for this one young man who slipped in it trying to put a roll of paper towel under my neck to keep me still.
The blood wasn’t just coming from Carmella’s forehead, which required more than 20 stitches to close, but also from her legs, one of which was fractured with exposed bone. The Smyrna Police Department and paramedics arrived promptly and advised the store manager to seek help in the cleanup due to the extensive blood spill and the fact that the blood had seeped under several shelving units, into the concrete flooring and nearby carpeting, and had been scattered by so many helping hands onto much of the nearby merchandise.
