I hate to be that guy, but how do you slip that badly on Prosciutto? I have so many questions. Was it a full block of Prosciutto or was it sliced? I feel like this has to be fake. A slice of Prosciutto is so paper thin that it would probably just stick to your shoe if you stepped on it (trust me, I’m Italian).
Even if I broke every bone in my body slipping on a piece of Prosciutto, there’s no way I would try to sue. Once you become the “Prosciutto lady”, there’s no going back. This woman will forever be known as the chick who somehow figured out a way to seriously injure herself by accidentally stepping on a piece of fine Italian meat. I hope the judge sides with the Prosciutto, in all honesty.
The supermarket chain that is being sued over this incident is called “Eataly”, with this Prosciutto slip-up occurring in their Boston location. I have not personally been to the Boston Eataly, but I have been to the one in Chicago. Let me tell you, this place is heaven on earth. I’ve never been in a supermarket quite like it. The quality of food sold there is unmatched and they have an entire level of restaurants where you can devour a delicious meal while getting wine drunk. I will forever stand with Eataly.
I don’t see an outcome where this lady doesn’t get any money from the lawsuit. $50,000 might be a stretch, but Eataly is going to probably have to pay a decent penny for this rogue piece of Prosciutto. However, life will go on for the supermarket chain. Unless someone dies after tripping over a wheel of Parmesan.
