Alright awhile back I was ranting about idiots who take carts up and down our escalators. Around that time we had put up 2 signs stating that there are elevators on the main entrance wall.
That being said this is what I heard from co-workers a few weeks ago.
Apparently a couple with their small child in a stroller decided in their infinite wisdom (aka asshated pea braind) to ignore the sign located 10 inches from the escelator and put their stroller on the down escelator.
Halfway down the wheel gets caught on the side and breaks off. The man then has to make a crazy menuever to save his child from falling down and ends up cutting his leg in the process.
When all is said and done he finds the closest floor staff and starts SCREAMING that he needs to see a manager right now.
From what I hear the floor associate said something like 'What do you want us to do about it we put up a sign.' to which was (supposedly ) responded to with 'Sign? I dont care about a fucking sign get your manager!'
Apparently the man demanded photo's of the scene to be taken to which our manager took for him with the store camera and gave him a new stroller.
That pissed off a lot of people, bending over for this asshat but I think there is some sense to this. If he tries to sue what does he got? A company that helped him out when he was an idiot and supplied him photos of the event. Also our manager snuck a picture in that has the escalator in the photo with the sign saying to not take carts or strollers down.
But seriously what kind of farking idiot puts his own child at risk. If he sues we should countersue for child endangerment.

I'll bet this guy gets home, calms down, and then looks at those pictures of the signs and drops the whole thing. He was just angry and frightened because he had endangered his kid, and I think on some level he knew it.
