Description
The principal issue in this case is whether a merchant can be said to have a duty to assist customers in carrying large packages of groceries from its store by virtue of the fact that it customarily did so. The circuit court of Franklin County and the Fifth District Appellate Court (73 Ill. App.2d 155) ruled that the jury could properly find such a duty in this case. We granted defendant's petition for leave to appeal. Helen Mick instituted this action against the Kroger Company for personal injuries alleged to have been sustained when she fell while carrying a bag of groceries which she had just purchased from defendant's Benton, Illinois, store. Her husband joined in the action, seeking to recover for loss of consortium and for money alleged to have been spent because of his wife's injuries.
