I think that occasional breakages are just a normal hazard of running a retail store. I doubt there's anything that anyone could do at a M·A·C store that would top this. Ouch!

Nope, but I'm really clumsy. I was Claires once and I knock down their whole lipgloss rack... oopsies!

I broke a eyeshadow once. It fell on the floor and didn't break but then when I picked it up it fell again ( I was nervous for some reason) and then it broke. I got a few looks from the MA's. =/
I also go to the counter with my kids so let's just say there are alot of close calls for me.

Not at MAC but just the other day at Long's I dropped a NYX eyeshadow right in front of one of the workers.
It was so funny she didn't even know what to do. I was willing to pay for it as I had too many products in my hand and it was totally my fault. The manager over heard us talking and he told her to put it in the return bin and not worry about it.

Not (yet) at MAC, but one time Urban Decay did a promotion at a nightclub in Manhattan that I was at, and invited me to try their sparkly body powders. I had had a few drinks at this point and was holding a bottle of beer while trying to flip the container upside down to get more product on the puff, and of course sloshed beer all over a bunch of their stuff - ugggh! They were nice about it, but I was so humiliated. :p

They gave me freebies anyway, maybe just to get rid of me - ha!

i've broken quite a few things. i dropped an eyeshadow and then accidently stepped on it cause i was nervous if it broke or not. and a msf cause i was so happy that they had it that my hand was shaking. AND when it was really busy and i tripped and knocked over the whole lipstick rack, i felt so bad cause so many broke, everyone there hates me now. thankfully these were all at other macs and not my fav. one.
 
I broke a lipstick the other day at mac. It snapped off when I went to put the tester on it, I was so embarrassed but the ma just brought out another one. Since then I've shy-ed away from testing the lipstick if they need to be turned up.

Last year i was paying for my big ass haul and when the total came up i reached in my purse and my elbow hit a glass beaker filled with lipsicks, and it landed on top of the MA's keyboard and he cuaght it before it hit the floor, i was bright red, cuase EVERYONE looked at me, thankfully it was my fav MA (that no longer works thier). He just said in a playfull voice "ok alley i know you wanna play with your goodies already!" we just laughed it off.

When I was last at my local counter, I asked to see the fluidlines as I had gone there with the plan of buying one, and I was handed a beaker full of them to play with. Anyway, the counter isnt very big, and it was very busy that day,and I promptly got a bit excited and started digging them out of the beaker and managed to knock the beaker of about eight liners over.Needless to say,I was highly embarrassed at a.knocking them over in the first place. and b. having to run around the deparment store picking them up..

The last time I knocked something down was when I tested the new Veluxe Pearls! The display was so tricky!!!
All the Glitter Eye Liners were in between the e/s and it was impossible to take a closer look at one if the e/s without knocking anything down!
But the Flashtrack e/s survived!
