I have never understood why parents bring toddlers and young children with them to supermarkets, etc.
You do realize that the Left wants to eliminate supermarkets and other “big box” stores altogether. This is just another beating being afflicted upon American capitalism.
Because leaving them home alone is generally frowned upon.
I didn’t mind taking the kids to the store its the spouse who throws a fit and trys to put junk food in the cart.
Parents bring young children to the store, take them to a poorly maintained restroom with "fluids" all over the floor, and then let the children stand in the shopping cart. The same cart where the next shopper will place their groceries.
Some stores now have a mini cart, too small for a child to sit or stand in. I prefer to shop there.
