It took them 45 minutes to show up. Where were they and what were they doing?
There’s a couple three things I have to get at Target sometimes and I have a set path through the store to fetch them.
Never the large wide open aisles.
Kinda like shortcuts through the cluttered kids clothes and such where I can be invisible on my way.
Same with the rare trips to Walmart.
Hillbilly thing.
Like a critter scurrying in the underbrush, unnoticed.
She couldn't have gotten there by herself, so WHERE was a parent, grandparents, guardian of some sort?
I always was aware of what would happen back at the car or at home, out of sight, if I’d broke stupid and acted like that.
Never pitched a fit in my life.
Simply was not allowed to and I knew it.
Have to remember that technique.
Those wide open check out counters freak me out.
how am I supposed to know where to go?
lol
Crack in the bathroom?
Just a WAG.
:D
I check out at the service desk.
Back in a tight corner with at least 3 employees there and a direct line of sight to armed door security people.
I’m very good at being a Gray-mander.
:D
As an example, the neighbor/friend I had for 15 years works at ROSS.
I can go through the whole store without her noticing me unless I walk up to her intentionally.
If I don’t want to be seen, I won’t be.
My dad dragging me along while he was hunting helped a lot.
A store is just woods with different cover.
I let my wife navigate the damn place.
i just want to know where the exit is.
Why am I not surprised.
No doubt that is where she learned the behavior - and BLM. If the older kids get to trash stores, why can’t she?
When our kids were very little it didn’t take them long to figure out that tantrums weren’t tolerated. At the grocery store with an almost full cart, my wife left with our twins - leaving the cart. We had some white rice with butter for dinner. (Well, my wife told them I would be back for the cart, and my wife and I had a real dinner later.)
Another child missed out on a fun day in the mountains and snow. “One more outburst and you’re not going.”
It took our kids two or three times of stuff like that to figure it out.
But whatever the threat was - it had to be followed through. (I REALLY wanted that one child to get into the mountains with us!)
All that said, some children DO have mental issues where tantrums are less readily solved.
Unfortunately, since I have mobility issues I have to use the store provided scooter. Fortunately since I carry a cane and a firearm I am technically both a cavalry Lancer and a tank.

Then why didn’t you provide a link to youtube?
There are the obvious front visible doors and doors accessed from within the service counter area, back where they keep the curbside pickup stuff.
There’s another emergency exit at the rear, in the seasonal/gardening wall. Not sure how thrilled they’re gonna be if you use those alternatives but if it’s a SHTF event, who cares?
Got nothing better to do one day, go behind stores and see where they bring out trash and boxes.
Usually there’s at least two exits.
;)
That is SO Mad Max!
;D
Oh!
Don’t forget the dairy department!
They usually have their own doors out.
Never pitched a fit in my life.

So much this. If I did that crap I would have gotten Dad’s belt across my ass and a few weeks in the box (my bedroom). For real. Makes things crystal clear.
It sounds like a liberal woman regardless of race.
