CURRIE, C. J.

This appeal presents these issues:

(1) Is there credible evidence in the record to support the jury's finding that defendant Kroger was causally negligent with respect to maintaining the doorway area as safe as the nature of the place would reasonably permit?

(2) Was plaintiff's causal negligence as a matter of law at least equal to, or in excess of, that of defendant Kroger?
