John Page, 41, was shopping for potted plants at a Wal-Mart store in Rockledge, Fla., when he was bitten by a rattlesnake. Page said Wal-Mart should do more to protect customers from such freak occurrences: his attorney found seven cases of snake bites at Wal-Marts nationwide over the past 20 years. “What I would like is to have is Wal-Mart acknowledge this is an ongoing travesty,” he said at a news conference called by his attorney. “When the floor is wet, they put up a cone [saying] that it’s slippery and to use caution,” he said. “But there are no signs trying to prevent this from happening again.”They tried that, but the darned snakes just ignored the signs.www.thisistrue.com
