Yes.. So I had this discussion the other day. I work in one and hate every min of it. There is nothing worth than somebody who brings their kids to the fucking store and doesn't keep an eye out for them. They let them run through the store like untamed wild fucking zoo animals. When and if they knock something over or brek it they want nobody more to blame then you or somebody in the store that is just there to earn some fucking money. EVIL EVIL WRATH OF CHILDREN IN SUPERMARKETS we must put a stop to it! lmfao

the supermarket i go to has a special little childrens room with video games and toys and staff on hand to watch them. but i don't know about people who would let a supermarket employee watch their children.....

byronic said:

neither do I. This is just what the unresponsible TARD parents seem to espect from us.

StaticDeth said:

i used to work at blockbuster and it was the same thing there. parents just letting their children wander around the store unnatended to mess up displays or to wander into the horror section and have nightmares for a week. and the people that always annoyed me most were the parents who would come in at 11:30 at night with their children on a school night! what is wrong with these people?

byronic said:

People are assholes!

I agree on this, to a certain extent. It bugs me that some parents seem to think their children should be free to run around and cause havoc in stores.

I like to see children having fun and enjoying themselves but it annoys me when parents aren't supervising their children to the extent where they don't know where they are or allow them to run into people. I don't think we live in a world where we can allow ourselves to not know where our young ones are and what they're up to.

I work at my aunty's boutique and she gets MAJORLY pissed when some stuck up tarts let their kids loose to put shit all over the clothes. But that is MAJORLY annoying, that not even their mothers have respect for someone else's property, or good clothes

SOrry...Nothing Beats letting the animals loose at the WalMart.

Are we talking wild or domestic?

Reincarnate said:

at wal-mart, i'd say rabid.

Reincarnate said:

Domesticly wild.

superspaceboy said:

I would have to agree with all you. After going into Supermarkets and seeing the awful behavior that I've seen, I would say that the terminolgy that you used domesticaly wild just about sums it up. Some of these of these parents need not to bring their child in public.

i agree 100%
for the childrens own safety as well as for our sanity.
ive seen them running around the diy store in the tool section totaly unsupervised
if they ran in to a big circular saw or an axe fell on them they could be killed

some kids should be on leashes

superspaceboy said:

the parents or the kids?

XxAxX said:

they used to make those leashes that connect to your wrist I never needed one, my brother either. We were always on our best behaviour in stores

AnckSuNamun said:

are 'kids today' becoming more and more out of control or is it me? things were very different when i was growing up. rowdy behavior from kids was simply not tolerated....

or am i just turning into an old fart ?

XxAxX said:

maybe it's the passive parenting style these days....not enough spankings, I guess. That'll scare em'....scared me into being a little angel When I was little if I had acted up in store like some kids today....a belt would've been waiting on me at the house.

Here we go again.

I agree.
When you see me with my kids in the supermarket, hardware store or whatever, my kids are in check. Why? Because I'm not afraid to smack a bottom or two if they start acting like animals. You can't reason with a 3 year-old. The only way to keep him/her from running into a power saw and getting 80 stitches is to threaten him/her with a spanking.

When I was a child my cousin and I used to punch holes in the toilet paper packages and get a kick out of asking the stockers where the prophylatics were.


Little girl: "'Scuse me sir, where are the prophylatics?"

When I see kids like that, I trip them when their parents aren't looking, and then giggle fiendishly.

I am just about to set off for the supermarket with 3 boys under 5. I have no choice, it's that or no food today. I am a nervous wreck by the end if the kids play up, which is every now and then, usually they are good and I can enlist their help to find stuff. One time they hung on the side of the trolley and it tipped over on them, so now I just have to remind them of the incident and they won't do it again because it hurt.

there was a thread about that last week.

Apparently, the word around here is that you are supposed to beat them senseless if they step out of line.

We don't care.
