What would you do?

And shouldn't you go get a tetanus shot?

It was just very strange. my buddy kept asking me if it was still bleeding while I was purchasing the pants and everyone just looked at me like I had 2 heads. The manager was making a good attempt to not make eye contact with me.

Obviously do not hire an attorney unless you have losses (medical bills, lost time from work, etc) that you deserve to be compensated for.

However... if you do end up needing an attorney, the attorney does not get paid unless you win your case, and at least here in Maryland (where the OP is also from, I believe), they typically get 1/3 of your settlement. If the lawyer gets $500, you're getting $1,000.

Clients with no attorneys typically get bent over because the insurance company for the store will attempt to intimidate and coerce you into taking $50 and signing a full release, even before you have started to treat. They'll show up in the ER with a pen trying to get you to sign while you're still in a coma. Insurance companies = the devil.

Im really not concerned with monetary compensation here. A coupon or a gift card would be nice but Im not going to push for it. The more I think about it the more I realize how inept the whole staff was.

It's a good thing that you've at least contacted the company. That's really messed up of the manager to have completely acted as if nothing happened. Sounds like a newbie that doesn't know what's up or how to handle customers.

Understood. I was just responding to the person I quoted. We all know about America's penchant to sue for every little tiny thing, but on the other side of the spectrum are the insurance companies trying to rob the people who really are hurt. Those people really do need lawyers.

When you talk to the person on the phone tomorrow, watch how sneaky they are... they will act real nice but the whole time they'll be fishing to see if you're seeking medical treatment, calling a lawyer, etc. It's as messed up as listening to the guys who run onto the bus after it crashes and try to say they are hurt in the bus accident

I ended up calling customer service and explained the situation to them about 2 weeks ago.

They were very helpful and said what happened was not correct procedure and the issue would be forwarded to corporate.

Yesterday I recieved a message from the liability division of the insurance co. who represents Abercrombie. I will call them back on monday and see what is going on.

will update on Mon.
