I told him there was blood in there and it looked like he quietly told a supervisor. I went shopping but did get some curious looks from a few store employees. Or, maybe I was altering my perception with my expectations as I assuming that this bathroom mess might be a topic of discussion among them. And they might have thought I was the one with the pressing medical problem. It also becomes a legal problem for the store if they do not act quickly to clean up the potential hazard for bathroom users.

I had not seen anyone who looked like they had just come into the store to use the bathroom and would have been on their way out as I was coming into the store.

I had told the store employee who had just washed his hands that I did not know where the blood came from.


Poop happens in even the nicest of stores.

We did cover slip and falls in my Torts course at the U of Minnesota Law School. But I am not in the habit of aiding lawyers . I did feel I had a duty to find a store employee and tell him or her about the liability risk in the restroom.

Yuck!!! TMI
