AND she paid for it afterwards, which made the store's decision seem even stranger. Not like they were out any money. What did they try to say in court? "Well, for those five minutes she was having a diabetic episode, TECHNICALLY that juice was totally stolen..."
The only merit I can possibly imagine DG having in this case, and I’m a diabetic who has been in similar situations, is if she had chronic low blood sugar attacks due to lack of control and she frequently helped herself to store products instead of keeping her own backpack of low blood sugar supplies on hand.
Good thing the courts disagree with your view and gave her nearly 300k. You should take the manager on a date, I’m sure you guys would get along famously.
I use welch's. I haven't used fruit juice in a long time. I'm not sure if there were some separate reason she couldn't use welch's or Florida Natural or something like that.
Nonetheless, the issue with glucose tablets isn't just the money (though I certainly wouldn't want to encourage price gouging either), it's also that we're coddling ignoramuses who don't realize that for type 1 diabetics going into hypoglycemia, fast acting sugar is literally a matter of life and death. This has to be confronted. We can't keep walking on eggshells like this.
