Remember that Menards is Canadian. In Canada the loser in a
litigation usually pays the winner's costs, there is a very low cap on
"pain and suffering", punitive damages are only awarded if malice can
be demonstrated, and per capita Canada has about 1/4 as many lawsuits
as the US, so the risk is much lower.


Au contraire!!!

History
A family-owned company started in 1958, MenardsĀ® is headquartered in Eau
Claire, Wisconsin and has more than 300 home improvement stores located
in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin and
Wyoming. ...

Current map appeared to have only one location in Canada.


Interesting. I don't know why I associate them with Canada.

However that being the case, they are going to get slammed _so_ hard
by some enterprising ne'er-do-well and his equally enterprising
ambulance chaser.
