Shopper says he was rude back after clerk loudly asked about his broken arm
After two falls that led to multiple fractures, a shopper says a clerk’s loud question about his arm prompted a curt reply and a disagreement with his wife.
Dear Eric: Last year I fell and fractured my wrist and was in quite a bit of pain while healing. Then again, this summer, I fell even harder and broke the same wrist and my forearm along with a fracture of the other arm. Yes, I guess I’m clumsy. I’m in my 50s and in decent shape so I’m not frail but it was taking a mental toll on me for months afterward.
Several days after my second fall, my wife and I were in a store waiting in a fairly long line for a register to open. One of the clerks at the counter loudly spoke out in my general direction and laughingly asked, “so, we all are dying to know what you did to your arm!”
