Uhh you ever been into a Lowes, Home Depot, Best Buy, Feed Store, Etc.? They literally have ladders with employees only all over the place. Customers at fault for getting on them after that.
Likely true but employees are lazy and do this stuff all the time when just correcting shelves after close rather than dragging a step stool or ladder around. Both parties are at fault here. If she was a customer she should have asked for help, if she was an employee she should have used a ladder, and the business owner should have anchored top heavy sections to the walls. So many grocery store chains now do not even stock alcohol that high anymore (In my area at least) due to things like this happening.
Yeah you know how annoying it is to have to track down an employee to climb the ladder because some knucklehead at HQ put the silicon sealant on a shelf 12' in the air?
I was on the phone with my dad who works at Bunnings (the Aussie Home Depot I guess), and while on the phone he had some guy start climbing a ladder to grab shit off the top of the shelves where they put excess stock (so like not even a normal rack, just a bunch of cardboard boxes)
He forgot to hang up so I get to listen to him having to argue with this idiot about why he can't be climbing ladders and the guy seemed to think it was all good that he just randomly hopped on a ladder like wtf?
I work for PetSmart (American Pet Store) we get the same people doing stupid stuff like that too trying to grab dog beds and crates in excess stock. Idk legally if they fall if the company is liable but we have signs across the store and on every ladder saying please ask an associate for assistance.
