My problem is this was not self inflicted.
Of course it wasn’t self-inflicted. But that doesn’t mean Walmart is culpable. It means it was an accident and sometimes we have to grow up and deal with the consequences of accidents.
If the Walmart employee had dropped the can on her foot, sure, there is probably some issue with culpability, responsibility.
But anyone who has shopped at a store in the US in the last 10 year knows that the plastic bags suck. Period. And the bag manufacturers and stores were hounded into using those bags by the environmental lefty whackos. If you want to hold someone accoutable, hold them accountable.
Given that these bags suck, when I go to the store, I tie up my bags when I am leaving; I double bag heavier bags; I don’t have them put things like a gallon of milk in a bag because that would be stupid.
