  • Yeah, I forgot what it was though- I think it was a vitamin water. It was embarassing, and I had to go tell someone so someone didn't trip. :P I'm glad they didn't make me pay for it!
  • No, but my daughter's spilled her drink in a store before (it was a paper cup with a lid/straw, not a sippy cup) and made a clean up.
  • I once broke a bottle of Jones soda. It was in a glass bottle, so everyone was looking at me.
  • I dropped a large tub of vanilla yogurt right at the register. It exploded. Yogurt went everywhere. All over my feet, all over the register front, and all over the buggy. It was a huge mess.
  • No, but I ruined a store detective (friend of mine) catching someone stealing by coming up to him and saying "AGent 86? Have you caught anybody lately?" (I was not popular).
  • My son knock over a jar of jelly and it busted every where , when he was about 3 -- Sticky mess -- lol
  • I dropped a bottle of Scotch at the checkout. Fortunately it was before it had been scanned, so they got me a new one.
  • Working at a Starbucks inside a grocery store and working for the grocery store for 8 years I have made quite a few messes. Whole pitchers of Frappuccino mix all over the floor ( very sticky ) . Chai mix all over the floor. Venti drinks spilled. OMG I have had so many accidents spilling things it's amazing.
  • This was not a breakage, but rather a leakage. It all happened in Sears and my granddaughter was the villain. she was 2 years old. Looking for replacement knobs for the kitchen cabinets, my wife and i lost our granddaughter for a few minutes. a quick search and we discovered her sitting on a commode display. my wife said, "go get her". as i approached, i noticed a tiny stream of liquid, flowing from beneath the commode. the stream left a trail down the floor and into the main Sears floor way. a small crowd gathered. my wife caught the last escalator and left me alone with the situation. i quietly gathered my granddaughter, pulled up her panties and proceeded to leave the store. No one said a word, except me. i cannot type into words the language i expressed to my wife. she abandoned the both of us.
  • I saw someone knock over a bag of pasta. Afterwards he was moving the mess under the shelf with his foot lol.
  • Yes! I had been walking for five an a half hours on a hot day. I got to a deli and as soon as I stopped I started to feel weird. I felt like if I was going to pass out! I asked for a Coke in order to inject some sugar into my system ASAP. I got the can in my hand, but made the mistake of not sitting down on the floor or on a chair. I started walking while drinking the soda from the can.......the next I remember I heard screams, I was on the floor. Then I remember being on a chair, people trying to help me. I looked to my left, and I saw an employee cleaning up the mess. I knocked down a Frito Lay wire rack that was loaded with bags of chips and I broke a couple of glass jars of salsa dip that were laying on the same rack. They were nice to me. I remember that I told the store owner that I got there walking from twenty miles away....She thought I was confused or delirious. She couldn't believe what I was saying. They called someone from the office who helped me get back in track.
  • 2nd answer. I was attempting to arrest this shoplifter for stealing a dog flea collar. the man passed the register without paying for the collar. i identified myself(plain clothes) and advised that he was under arrest for shoplifting. i did not expect what happened next. i received a fist to my jaw. dazed, i reached for the nearest object. it happened to be a huge can of Barbasol shaving cream. i hit this man in the head and the whole can exploded. shaving cream went everywhere. Did i succeed in the arrest? yes. did he dislocate my jaw? yes. did it make a mess? you know it. we were slipping and sliding on shaving cream for 10 minutes.
  • Just the other day I broke two lamps at Target. The toothless funky associate was on the next aisle and walked up and gave me a look. It was really embarrassing.
  • All the time, i'm the clumsiest person in the world - i knocked an entire shelf of handmade easter eggs over in a high class chocolatiers my friend works in - luckily she helped me hide them all at the back of the shelf before her manager came back! She didn't mind, because staff get to take home the broken chocolates, and there was about £80 worth of damage!! x x
  • Guess I've been lucky..never have dropped anything that would break. I usually shop at the same market all the time...so when I see something (like rolls or bread) on the ground, I pick it up and put it back on the shelf. The employees consider me one of them in that regard.:)
  • Two big incidents: The first was I found out that I could open a can of soup with my hand by sqeezing on it one day until it opened. Thought I tried it for no apparent reason. Then one day, the can openers in our break room came up missing (worked in a grocery store), and we couldn't grab any off the shelf anymore. My coworkers thought i was crazy to sqeeze on the can until they saw the dents and the folds that I was putting in it until the can finally started leaking soup. The second was I like to jump down some of the stairs out of the break room because there was a middle section that changed direction of the stairs. I left out of the break room one day and leaped down the steps (usually 2 or 3), but when I landed, it shook the entire upper floor (building was really cheaply made, or I am too strong). The people upstairs thought I fell from jumping down the entire flight (9 steps), but I actually landed on my feet. I did it a second time, and knocked a pot off the counter that shattered on the floor. But I had to stop once I learned that the screws holding the stairs up were falling out, and a coworker ratted me out because I was the only one strong enough to do that.
