morrissons vent, and praise

[Deleted User]

my hubby was in the toilets at morrissons yesterday, when a member of staff walked in and started spraying air freshener about, then the dumb idiot sprayed him straight in the face with it:eek::eek:

next thing we know, he can't breath and his eyes feel like they are on fire

they called an ambulance, that took him 200 yards to the hospital next door, had his eyes flushed and was put on a nebuliser for an hour, he was released after 3 hours

the manager has spoken to me since, and he said we can have some vouchers for free shopping the next time we go in:T:T





we are having a very strange week, i will be glad when it's over

Are you serious?

A member of staff actually sprayed the stuff in his face :eek:

regretably this is a 100% true story

PinkLipgloss

That's totally shocking!

Did they offer any explanation?

If this member of staff has been so stupid, tell the manager to keep his vouchers and ask for their insurance companys' details.

Normally I would frown on comp chasers but this is a different kettle of fish altogether,

Dont hesitate, there is no dispute. Ask for a proper settlement and if you get no joy, see a solicitor.

Good luck.

my hubby was only in hospital for 3 hours, we have no monitary loss, he's fine now, and it was an accident, we will not be taking this any further

Isnt it strange, (strange but nice) that there are so many ambulance chasers for compensation for literally cut fingers or something trivial and then you get the genuine ones who just get up and on with it, just taking one day off.

My DH has worked in a creamery for many years and was nearly crushed to death by a peice of machinery that someone was told to swithc off but didnt, luckily someone was near at hand to hit the Red button. She suffered terribly with pains across the bottom of her stomach and soft tissue damage and she just got up and got on with it.

Good for you. So in that case, take the vouchers.

Good luck.

I fail to see how anyone could "accidentally" spray a substance directly into somebodies eye.

I was wondering the same thing.

Perhaps the staff member sprayed it just as OP's husband turned corner to enter the toilet?

Really you think a Morrison staff deliberately sprayed a substance into a customer eye? It's clear it was accident either that or a psychopathic staff member.

What you mean is did the staff member take sensible precautions to prevent this from happening.

FYI if something is an accident you necessary cant sue. You've got to prove that they didnt take suitable precautions to prevent the accident within reason.

Firstly and FYI, I have not claimed it to be a deliberate act, I just cannot imagine a member of staff deliberately spraying a substance in a customers eye, unless they were indeed psychotic. Secondly, I have not even vaguely mentioned the word SUE, where you came up with that one is anyone's guess.

However I will re-iterate for you (as you do seem to be confused), that I cannot imagine how anyone could accidentally spray a substance into somebody else's eye, unless the customer had the powers of invisibility, or the member of staff had a white stick and a guide dog.

Unless you know something more about this case than I do, "Clearly" does not come into it, as it certainly is NOT clear exactly how it happened.

I would deduce (though NOT clearly) that it was either an act of sheer stupidity or a completely neglectful act, albeit it might have been an accident, I cannot imagine how such a dreadful accident could happen.

In all the Years of spraying air fresheners, deodorants or even fly spray, I can safely say I have NEVER accidentally sprayed someone's eyes with them, a feat I would find pretty difficult to do "accidentally".
