My EARS!

Yes, but 40+ minutes of solid, banshee screaming when the cart is parked almost in front of the pharmacy windows on a semi busy Tuesday night?

Read my second line you quoted

[PepperElf]

when we were growing up, screaming like that meant we went home. instantly.

When we did stuff like that, we didn't go home. We went to the car. With Mom. To get a spanking. You could do that in the 70s. I have to say I've never heard the screaming in Walmart, not once, but very often in Target. Maybe it's all the red surfaces....

It was okay in the 90s too, apparently. I always got spankings. But only when I deserved them. And then I turned out fine. The end.

But seriously, the worst place I've seen screaming children is definitely WalMart. Not so much now as a customer, but when I worked there they seemed to be a dime a dozen. Especially on Saturdays... but then, everything awful happened on my Saturday shifts.

Playing devil's advocate here, but the child could also have a learning or mental disability.

No, it's a Wal-Mart phenomenon. There have been some times that I haven't even gotten in the building yet, they're screaming in the parking lot.

Tell me about it. And did you notice that not only was it screaming kids, but people yelling to each other. Seriously, I listened to two people carrying on a conversation like this one time. I don't know what it is about that place, but for some reason, people seem to forget to use their in-door voice.
