"A couple lawsuits waiting to happen" Lots of big box stores have a dangerous mixture of high stacked product shelving and fork lifts. It used to be a major peeve with me. And the fork lifts are driven by kids with virtually no training. Several shoppers have been killed like this:

Wife Sues Menards For $100,000,000 After Husband Crushed To Death By Tiles

"The Geoffrey Fieger law firm filed two lawsuits against Menards this week. One suit is for emotional anguish suffered by Cindy Colletti in witnessing her husband’s death. The other is a wrongful death lawsuit.

The lawsuits say a Menards store employee used a forklift to place a 600-pound pallet of tiles on a shelf about 15 feet off the ground. Moments after the employee left the area, the pallet of tiles fell and crushed Richard Colletti, police said.

The complaints say Menards was negligent and breached its duties in more than 20 ways, including their failure to train, negligent hiring and the failure to supervise their employees."
