Default Injured at Walmart

About an hour ago I was visiting the local Walmart and was heading into the laundry stuff aisle when,,,,,,,,,, bam I slipped and went all the way down. A quick look revealed the reason,,,, water AND detergent on the tile floor. My knee hit the floor hard and my right wrist took the rest of it.
I wasn't hurt that bad.

Question is,,,,,,,,,,What did I do next?

a)Started screaming,,MY BACK MY BACK!!!!!!!!!

b)Told an associate to get the store manager.

c)Walked/Limped away

d)Stayed there until it was cleaned up.

I HOPE you did "B." Not that I would sue them for no reason, but you don't know at this time that you did not seriously hurt your wrist, or at least sprain it to a point that you COULD be out of work for awhile.

I would want to make sure the Manager is aware of the "'incident" in case you DO need to take any action. If all is well tomorrow or the next day, no biggie. Maybe, he'll give you a discount or something for being decent about it.

But.... I hope you were SOBER! :lol: :lol:

In retrospect, I should have done b). But the actual action taken was d).

At the moment, I was more concerned with preventing someone else from busting their ass as I had.

The culprit that caused the mess actually returned to scene. It was a 2-3 year old girl with her sister and mother.

As for me this morning, no related aches or pain of any kind.
