So I am ringing up customers yesterday as usual, it was a decent day overall, and then this lady comes through with her young son (perhaps 3 or 4 years old) who is "snacking" on a box of Mike & Ike candy. I'm ringing her groceries and suddenly come across an empty bottle of sprinkles. Ya know, the colored sugar you use to jazz up your cakes or cookies. It's empty but the plastic seal isn't even broken. Weird, I thought. I asked the lady if it was in her cart and she merrily says "Yes! He ate them!" with this "Oh kids!" kind of smile. I'm staring at it trying to figure out wtf possessed this lady to let her kid eat a bottle of sugar AND then give him a box of candy. I'm staring at it long enough that apparently she thought I didn't know what they were because the next thing she says, with that same smile and a bunch of laughter, "They're sprinkles!"
I've seen a new low, because the only thing I could think of is just wow. Wow. I was SO close to telling her off.....
