113. Which statement below is the most appropriate characterization of the student and her conduct under traditional common law rules?
The student has sued the store to recover for her injury.
The student went into the storeroom through a door with a sign that said: «Keep Out. Employees Only.» While in the storeroom, she tripped on a fold in a floor mat and fell into a stack of wooden crates. The topmost crate fell on the student, causing a head injury.
A graduate student who was moving needed cardboard boxes, so she went to her usual grocery store to look for some. The store regularly gave repeat customers empty boxes to promote goodwill. Seeing no boxes outside, the student entered the store and asked a store employee for help. The employee pointed toward the rear of the store and said that all the empty boxes were in the storeroom.

A is incorrect. The student was an invitee in the storeroom, because the store had a policy of giving empty boxes to customers, and the employee permitted her to enter the storeroom.
B is incorrect. A licensee is typically someone present for social purposes and an invitee is someone there for business. Store visitors are not required to intend to purchase anything to be categorized as invitees. Here, the fact that the student did not intend to make a purchase would not negate the business purpose of her visit to the store.
C is incorrect. The student was not a trespasser because she received express permission from the employee to enter the storeroom.
