This wasn't even MY kid. A very good Dad was very calmly finishing his shopping with his @3year old who was giving him a bit of sass with "No! NOOOO! No! NO!" you get the idea.
A couple of the workers, who are mostly teenagers and young 20s, were commenting but not meanly. More like jokingly, "call animal control." Not loudly or anything.
I got into the line with the guy at the front of it for once not with my children. Another lady is between us. After he finished up, took her out of the cart, and calmly left while ignoring the behaviour - he was doing very well.
The woman turns to me with a very snotty, "Well I NEVER...." to which I said, "I have three of them, and I certainly have had days like that." To which she got very snotty sounding with a "Well *I* never."
I wryly rolled my eyes, and she very stiffly finished without looking at me and bitching a little to the clerk and bagger who were doing their job and being polite without really talking to her or responding.
I actually got more upset after I left. Even though I thought I dealt with it well, I remembered every time my children had a fit in the market in the check out line. I wanted to whap the woman one, and it wasn't even my child.
I feel like yelling at them, what people with high strung children shouldn't EAT because it might inconvenience you? Oh, I'm so sorry I haven't beaten and terrified my three year old into not embarassing me in public. I'll get right on that. Please share your wisdom with us mere mortals.
