One day I was shopping at a Wal Mart in Orlando FL. Wal Marts there are packed generally and have lines back into the clothing section. It was not uncommon to wait in line a good 15 to 20 minutes.
I don't have children so maybe this is all right and I do not know. The customers in front of me, parents and a small child, are hanging out and waiting in line patiently like everyone else.
The child eventually decides he is not so patient and gets a little feisty. The father then turns to the magazine rack near him and pulls out a big book of Sudoku puzzles and hands it to this, probably, 1 and half year old child. The child then proceeds to eat and slobber all over the pages, mangle the covers and basically leave the book in total disarray.
When this wholesome family is one person back from the register the father removes the magazine from the childs hand and tucks it back into the shelf as if nothing has happened.
I stood behind these people appalled but kept my mouth shut as I got up to the register and went on my way. I was tempted to make an issue with the family in front of me personally but since neither of them spoke a word of English the whole time in line I figured it was best not to waste my breath.
So, is this a SC, the kind I should be talking about on here, or is this something else I should just keep to myself. Pretty new here. Thanks for the info.
