Description
The defendant the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company (A & P) appeals from a judgment against it based upon a jury's finding of negligence with respect to maintaining an aisle floor in one of its stores as safe as the nature of the place would reasonably permit. Nellie Strack, the plaintiff, aged sixty-four, entered an A & P store in the city of Madison about 2 o'clock on a Friday in August, 1963, to purchase groceries. She went to the produce department which has fruit tables in the center of the wide aisle. After selecting some peaches and waiting about five minutes at the scale to have them weighed, as there was no clerk in the department, she decided to go to the frozen food counter. As she was walking she stepped on a little Italian prune (a small dark-blue plum) and started to slip. She caught the frozen food counter with her hand and avoided falling but the twisting motion resulted in injuries to her back and leg.
