If your kids is ill mannered and hyper.

[Cosmart Security]

Then why would you come into the store, and buy them every candy treat under th sun. Seeing as how they don't listen, and have little or no self control, its amazing to me how many parents not only refuse to monitor their little angels, but contribute to them being destructive.

And of course only after they have come through the isle i just took 2 hours cleaning and start wrecking, and destroying it! Don't come all down on the kid now, when it was clearly your fault you weren't watching them in the first place, and of course to add their little insult to injury, I love being serenaded with " oh come on pumpkin, let's not make more work for the nice employee who works here.!"

Um... YEAH TOO LATE!

In an instance like that, when the parent makes no effort to train their kids to clean up their mess, it would be nice if you could get away with not ringing them up because you have to clean up after them first. The longer you take, the bigger their mess. If they get the hint, either the parent and their kids would help clean up. If not, they would just leave, which also means that they shouldn't return.

Yeah, I hear ya, nothing in the world I would enjoy more than charging these people for this stuff to, that useally winds up being broken and we have to half price it.

I'm betting it's because they want the kid to expend the energy... and make someone else clean up afterwards.

I agree. This is probably also why the idiots who live on the street behind my house let their kids run around the backyard screaming at the top of their lungs. They want them to use up the energy outside, where they apparently can't hear it (until someone screams "SHUT UP!!!!!!!!" Then suddenly you hear, "Hey you kids, stop yelling!"

[cashierbex]

Thats why I take my nephew to the park. And glad my roomie took him to play before coming home with him. Hyper kids and I don't get along.

Either that or they shout at you "Who the fuck are you?! Stop yelling at my kids!"

That's normal here in my neighborhood, sadly.

Even worse the parents have to show off the fact that their only reading material at home is the Websters Profanasaurus.

[dalesys]

... only reading material at home is the Websters Profanasaurus.

How could they be reading it? Their entire vocabulary is unprintable.

Or, even worse they scream "STOP YELLING AT MY KIDS!!!!!!!!"

I vote that we put this image up in all stores.... the size of a billboard. Big bold letters.

[tigger222]

I remember one time having my friends daughter in the doctors office waiting on her brother to finish and she was playing in the waiting room. When it was time to go she said "OK I'll clean up now". You could have heard a pin drop in the room everyone was shocked that she would pick up without being asked.

QF-f'n-T!

I am all for doing that!

[wraiths_crono]

Hated that stuff when I worked in stores, to the point I DO NOT let my kiddo do it. and I had a woman try and lecture me that I was 'being too hard on my child let her run around a store and be a kid, employees are PAID to clean up." if I did not have a law against slapping a stupid woman... oi.. (walks off into the chat room ranting and raving)

Did I just read this right?! You were being criticized for not letting your child run around and trash the store like a miniture hellion?
