  • You mean I have to watch my own child?

    I took a friends daughter to the inflatable playground that we have in our mall as we walk in there is three signs stating that parents must remain with their kids at all times. We were there for about half an hour and we decided to go get bottles of water and walk up to the counter just as a lady was saying to her kids "Have fun I will pick you up later." The lady at the counter looked at her and said "You can't leave your kids here without an adult to supervise them." The other lady replies with "Oh they will be supervised my twelve year old is staying with them." The lady behind the counter told her that this wasn't a daycare center and if an adult wasn't staying with them the kids couldn't play and that she was willing to give her her money back. The other lady argued with her for 25 minutes before she took the money back. The she took a pair of socks that she had bought at the counter off of her childs feet and threw them at the lady behind the counter and stormed out.

    That is wrong on so many levels. Poor child

    What was this "woman" going to do if she had bought underwear for the child there - strip the child naked and toss the underoos at the employee?

              The counter was for the playplace area, and they often sell socks to people if their kids don't have any so they can play. They're not in the habit of selling underwear at such playplaces.

                  She must not have been that mad. After all it was only a sock. I guess shoes are reserved for politician? Sweet SCs view us as better than politicians. I guess that's something....

                    Just about everything is better than politicians.

                        Well, technically those are politicians too. They're just past their expiration date and have gone all nasty and icky...

                          Honestly I have been dying to tell a customer

                          "Well Sir/Ma'am. If you are willing to sign a release form that exempts our company from any responsibility should your child be lost/kidnapped/injured or killed. I will gladly let you leave them unsupervised in the store. If not though I am going to have to ask you to keep them with you or leave."

                          ...Just dying to say it....

                            Can I use that one for the next SC that tries to leave kids in our waiting area? You won't believe how many forget a doc and try to leave us to watch them--that's right in a tax office.

                              Had a bunch of middle schoolers tour the state university across the street, then bus over here for souveneirs. The two chaperones rounded them up, and then told me

                              "har har, if we left any, they're YOUR problem!"

                              I simply quoted a sign I'd seen once, completely deadpan to him:

                              "All unsupervised minors will be given 3 shots of espresso and a puppy."

                              He decided it was worth a second look through the store, make sure he got 'em all.
