Cut my hand in a supermarket

[Tasteslikecandy]

I was food shopping earlier this afternoon, I picked up a a box to see if I could find a bag of carrots that I liked and scraped the inside of my hand on a metal bit sticking underneath a shelf.

The security guard was nearby and the only members of staff that I could see were all on the tills. I showed him my hand, he very kindly found some tissue. I continued shopping as I was in a bit of shock then the security guard came to find me with a plaster.

At the end of my shop (my husband was pushing the trolley) I thought it should be put in an accident log. I found the shop manager didn’t seem bothered or even asked if I was ok? I said that it should be written done, he then asked if I wanted it in the accident book. My AIBU is that surely that was the first thing he should have done, not asked me if that was what I wanted?

i would have thought it just one of those things to be honest. Do they really need to fill in an accident book? you're not a child.

It seems odd to me, but I'm in the US. Here they would have fallen all over themselves to help you.

I don't think I would have particularly cared if such a minor injury went in the accident book, tbh

I’m not expecting them to fall over themselves to help me. The manager just wanted to open a checkout and couldn’t care less. With my work I have to log all imjuries.I would rather if it was logged so that hopefully it doesn’t happen again. I’ve cleaned it so it’s unlikely to get infected but I wanted it logged just in case.

It's very minor, I wouldn't expect it to go in the accident book myself.

The boxes are meant to be rotated by staff so it wasn’t foreseeable that you would stick your hand under there.

Logged in case of what?

YABU if you didn't just take the carrots on display.

It's a very minor cut what does it need logging for?

The nation is obsessed with getting things ‘logged’.

Ive done that myself in a supermarket. It didnt even cross my mind to do anything apart from get a plaster out of my bag and be cross with myself that i did it. The cardboard boxes also have staples that seem to catch me every so often. Hope it better soon x

Meh - I think it's a non issue to be honest. I wouldn't have even spoken to someone about it.

If you cut your hand on a park bench would you run looking for the park staff to log it?

Come on. Grow up.

i do also 'fish' in the boxes under the ones on display though you take the risk

The carrots didn’t look too great, and I was shamefully looking for the organic ones as they looked fresher. I’m not usually fussed over orgain produce, I just didn’t like the dry ones that were on top.

You shouldn't have been rooting through the boxes that hadn't been put into general stock yet. They're not obliged to keep out of bounds areas safe for customers.

If you did it, other people will do it too. If people are hurting themselves because of their shopping habits (whether people agree or not, we all want the freshest-looking produce), it needs to be looked at. YANBU and I'd have mentioned it at customer services.

Sorry, it wouldn't have occurred to me either to ask for this thread be logged.
Looks sore though.

It’s one of those supermarkets where sometimes you need to root.

I just wanted to know what others thought that was all. Thanks everyone

*to
This iPhone predictive is beyond ridiculous

Get a claim in.

That’s a joke, BTW. but I’m pretty sure you want someone to say it

Looks nasty to me. They shouldn’t have sharp things sticking out. Old people have very thin skin and it could be much worse. Yanbu.

It’s a cut

Are you after suing?

I doubt I’d have even mentioned it to staff let alone want them to take notes about it . Frankly if I were the staff I’d think you were after a compensation claim if you asked me to put it in the accident book .
