I was working midnight shift news year eve to new years day.
Now at my store we have a McDonalds on premesis (sic), they closed at 7 PM. All of the staff was asked to come to another store in town to help cause they were getting hammered with customers.
The manager, who I'm really good friends with, and his wife (who was manager at the other store) come in to take care of some things and do inventory. Wife decides to sweep up and mop cause the crew really didn't do a good job of it before closing up.
I take care of some things and go to the back to start filling my mop bucket to mop my half of the store. I hear the jingle of the front door chime.
I come out and guy says he wants to get gas. I start walking behind the counter and
SLIP!
The McDonalds floor is just slick enough that my right foot shoots out from under me and up in the air and I crash to my back.
I stick my hand out to try and grab the counter and save myself, but I grab a candy display and slice my hand open at the pinky a good inch or so.
Guy starts asking if I'm alright and if I need help. I get up, go to the back shouting for Jack (the manager whom I'm friends with) his wife sees the aftermath, and starts screaming for him as well. The customer says he'll go elsewhere.
We do a quick wrap and I call my manager who, god bless her, get's up and comes in to work my shift while I go to the hospital.
Basically 5 hours at the hospital to have it looked at, X-rayed (for workman's comp purposes), glued shut, wrapped with an immobilization set up (metal bar with foam on it) to keep me from poping the glued up wound open again.
I don't know if my insurance will even cover this if workman's comp doesn't cause it's so crappy. It would've probably used up my entire deductable for 2008 with this one visit.
