sturdy as she goes

Today I had to run a couple of errands and I found myself walking south on Douglas Street in front of the Shoppers Drug Mart. I saw this fellow carrying a heavy speaker box which appeared to be a sub woofer. We were coming towards each other with about a foot of space to spare between us. Right at the passing moment he bumped into the edge of one of the window panes and it made an awful noise and it sent him off track towards me. I had to quickly jump out of the way to avoid being crashed into. I wondered if the man was heading to my shop to try to sell it and I thought I should call my employees to warn them because clearly he was quite inebriated and he had an item we do not accept. Not to mention that it took a good jolt already and I am sure that was not its first bump or bruise. I decided not to call since I was a couple of blocks away and perhaps he wasn't headed there. But when I returned, I heard about the excitement from my fellow workers. This gentleman client entered with a loud crash, bang, and a boom. He dropped the sub woofer twice on his way to the counter before he was intercepted by staff. He was informed that we did not take those items any more and that he shouldn't continue up to the counter with it. At that time, he was a bit injured and bleeding from the hand and wrist. Now I didn't notice any blood when I avoided a collision with him on the street so possibly he fell and hurt himself between there and the shop. Either way, my employee asked if he needed medical attention, i.e. an ambulance. He refused. So it was suggested that he leave and take care of his wounds. He did.
