Okay, this just happened, I'm pissed off and could literally kill this customer if they ever walk back in, forgive the language and incoherentness of this post, I'm in alot of pain right now
I was browsing the site when a woman and her kid came in, kid was about five years old, old enough to know better.
We have alot of clearance furniture in the back and some of it is very heavy and very damaged. There's piece of a sectional standing up on end witht he bottom fabric ripped up and torn so the frame is exposed.
I'm talking with the woman. I didn't see what was going on until I hear the kid scream.
I look and he was climbing the sofa by climbing up the frame that was exposed, if that makes sense. One end of the sectional had a recliner in it and he fell flat on the ground from about six feet up
The mom and I just stand there stunned for a second when the thing starts to topple over, and this piece weights about 200 lbs, I run over to where the thing is right as it falls over and I have no choice but to catch it with my shoulder, all 200 lbs of it to keep it from falling on the kid
My shoulder gets nailed by metal, it rips clear through my shirt and now I've got a bleeding welt but three of the staples holding the fabric in place that were damaged went straight down into the flesh between my neck and shoulder, about three quarters of an inch from the blood on the staples
The kid scrambles out from under me when he hears me yell "FUCK!" at the top of my lungs when the thing hits me and mom grabs him and they run out of the store while I have this fucking heavy sofa digging into my arm and shoulder
My entire left arm feels like its dead like I slept on it and all I can do is bath the punctures with peroxide from the first aid kit and pump antibiotics for a few days. I can move it just fine so I don't think anything is broken but holy shit it hurts, there's a huge bruise forming there right now.
I'm up to date on my tetnus shots so I need to watch it for the next few days to see if there's any infection, I'm heading to the hospital if anything happens.
If that customer ever comes back in here I'll pick up a sofa and throw it at her, bad arm and all, I'm so pissed off right now
