I think you should give them a call, definitely. That girl has a reprimand coming, bare minimum. What if you'd broken a bone or something? Or what if she'd left the box out where a customer could have tripped over it? I'm sure the owners would just love to get sued.

I hope you'll continue with the Wally/Bruce tentacle-fic. XD I've also been going through your Spike/Xander stuff; it made me remember why I used to be such a big fan of the pairing.
