Fla. man sues Wal-Mart over in-store snake attack Advertisement
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- A 42-year-old man bitten by a snake in a Pembroke Pines Wal-Mart garden center is suing the company for negligence.
Jay Richitelli says he is the third Floridian in three years to be attacked in a Wal-Mart by a pygmy rattler. Two others were bitten in 2006 at the retailer's stores in Central Florida.
Richitelli's attorney says the Bentonville, Arkansas company should have taken steps to prevent the attacks after they happened before.
Wal-Mart wouldn't comment on the litigation filed in Broward County Circuit Court, but said customer safety is its top priority.

3. He wasn't buying pine straw, was he? |

We once had a customer return the rattlesnake he found in a bale of pine straw he bought from us. Fortunately, he killed the snake before he brought it in. And naturally, we refunded his money.
