During the past week, I would say that most of the businesses I've visited have done nothing to reduce or get rid of the ice that has formed during the recent ice storms and thawing temperatures.

Don't they know that there was a discovery many years ago called SALT? And even in modern times they have invented other salt type items that won't hurt pavement, tar, or landscaping.

But even with these modern inventions businesses tend to not care if a customer slips or falls on their property. They have insurance and that is all that matters. Even when you loose your balance you can do damage to your body. For example, my mother recently had knee surgery. If she would slip, her body would react to that and hurt her new, still healing knee, pretty good.
