I ummm.. actually almost got Staples sued like that.
I worked there as a computer repair tech. This woman brought in 3 really heavy servers for motherboard battery replacements and some software upgrading. These things were HEAVY. I carried the first one into the tech room and placed it on the floor. I then took the seccond one and placed it on the floor next to it. As I carried the third one in, I tripped over my ankle and I dropped the third server... right on top of the other servers. All three servers were crushed when the thing slammed into them (it was HEAVY !!). Pieces flew everywhere accross the floor. Now these servers also were custom designed and custom networked for their business with their own operating systems and everything. Staples ended up having to pay for three new servers for them AND pay to have a professional IT firm go out there and reload all the software and do all the custom networking, and re-installing all the backups of the files they needed.
All in all, it ended up costing Staples several thousand dollars. I don't know how I somehow kept my job after that.
