    Customer falls - no sympathy

    A coworker told me a tale from earlier this week:

    The film ends, lights come up, customer gets up and falls down the stairs. Customers injures her leg, so an ambulance is called. The first thing the customer says to the paramedics, "Can I sue?"

    Lovely. God forbid we be more concerned about our health. Instead, it's all about the lawsuit. Makes you wonder about people doesn't it?
    Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

      Sorry the mind really boggles , What the hell was she planning on suing for? Sounds like she tripped over her own feet.
      Please excuse me , I need to wander round the corner to scream now, before my head explodes.

          I just find it really funny because I've done it.
          Sat on leg throughout film , leg gone dead, put leg down, attempt to get up , timber....

          Not gonna blame anyone but myself for my own poor coordination.

            Apparently the customer in the OP didn't feel the same way ... "I tripped on my OWN feet! It's YOUR fault just because: the lights were too dark, the carpet was bunched up, you didn't tell what type of shoes I should wear, the seat was mounted wrong, the movie was too bright, I have poor vision!! SUE! SUE! SUE! I want pain and suffering, compensation for my time and my gas! I want vouchers and freebies!! Or I'm never coming here again!! WAAAH!!"


            O.k. ... so maybe that was over the top ...

                No, that sounded about right.

                  I guess they did. The projectionist tested out the lights and the automation at the end of the film, just to make sure she had no grounds.

                    Next time she comes, tell her: "I'm sorry, but we can no longer allow you on the premises due to liability concerns."

                      Wow, it sounds more like she tripped herself. Not that she tripped on her own two feet, because she's uncoordinated. But that she coordinated a stunt to get her some fast cash.

                      Ha! See what I did there.

                      I remember when I worked at a movie theatre we were supposed to say everything in the world to people how hurt themselves, except "sorry". Since that makes us liable. It bugged me a bit.

                        Wow....caring about if she can peg the theater with a lawsuit to get money from them versus making sure she's okay...what a money grubbing bitch.

                          Are you really in England? From the story, I'd have thought you were in North America where suing someone is more of a way of life

                            Yes I'm in England. I guess the SC has been taking lessons from American TV.

                              I wonder if this is a second or third hand story? I'd probably say that to the paramedics too. Lightens the mood. Everyone has a good giggle. One hundred percent as a joke.

                              I wonder if it was a joke when said, that's been twisted to sound as if she were serious.
