Depends on the Walmart you go to. There is one near here that's bad. Kids are out of control, over-sized moms cruise the bakery section and not a father within 5 miles.
And what time: most don't have a lot of kids in them at 4:00 a.m.
But even if the place is full of obnoxious kids and irresponsible parents, that's not a license for anyone to start hitting children. If a customer can't bear it, he can leave. If he wants to take effective action, he should first ask to speak to the shift manager or store manager to explain why he's taking his business elsewhere.
See, my husband never went grocery shopping with me. Sometimes I had my sons, depending on schedules, but I preferred not to shop with hubby! Plus, with the shifts and hours he worked, the last thing he wanted to do was go to the grocery store. So I can’t judge or assume there’s no daddy just because he’s not at the store. ‘Course, my kids were, for the most part, pretty well behaved.
I’m kinda laughing, never thought that the clerks that saw me week after week might have thought I was a single mom, with no daddy around!
