It is also our understanding that customers have fallen and sustained injuries due to the wet floors, even though the supermarket giant would have placed plywood in the area to cover the water, and has placed the appropriate wet floor signs.
During a visit to the RiteWay Food Market in Pasea today, Friday, January 21, 2022, our roving reporter saw the condition for herself.
