Open Letter to the Mom at the Supermarket...

[CanadaGirl]

When I was a cashier, some woman got mad at me for asking her to take the kid off even though I told her it was a safety issue. Because perfect, germ free childeren also bounce, you know ,

Same here. Asked a couple to take their child off the conveyor belt, as there is a major risk of them getting a finger caught in the sides and end of the belt. (old tills and such) They gave me a look like "oh how dare you tell us what to do with our offspring". Puh-leez. Don't pull that crap with me.

How dare you imply their precious angel is dirty! Why they're probably as clean as the day they were born. Alright maybe slightly cleaner.

I firmly believe that the parents who do this think that their child is perfect, has none of these germs you speak of, and you should damn well think that the child is every bit as germ free and adorable as they know the kid is. And if you ask them to remove the offending butt, you will be in the wrong, because no normal person would even hint that their child is anything less than perfect.

Eew. I have yet to have someone do that in front of me, but trust me, the moment it happens, I WILL be saying something. "Scuse me, can you please get your baby's butt off of where I'm about to put my food??"

[Becks]

Ugh. Why do people think that's OK? I don't understand!!!

Parents, if you can answer, please do.

Dear mother of the two-year old,

For future reference, please remember that, if your two-year-old is wearing only a dress and a diaper, the belt at the checkout is not a really good place to have her sit. Call me strange, but I kind of have a thing about putting my food where your child's butt has been, barely covered by that disposable diaper. There's a new thing around, it's called sanitation. Please look into it. Thank you.

Honestly, what the hell is wrong with people?? I mean, it was a cute kid, I even got a smile out of her. But c'mon! Food. Kid's butt. Not compatible. Ever!
