I have stood in line and watched as a mother, (so-called), had no control of her 4 year old. The kid was standing in the cart trying to operate the card swipe machine. Her mother had no control.
I asked the older cashier if she had ever had one of her children behave like that. She told me no in no uncertain terms and went on to describe what she would have done had one of hers acted in such a way.
It became an issue with me because I was held up in line and just don’t like seeing a 4 year old run rough shod over its mother. I don’t like to witness it. It happened tonight, by the way.
I understand it is annoying. So what are you advocating “we” do about it?
