Your kid pooped on the floor? No big deal.

I didn't see this one when it happened but my coworker filled me in on the details. When you first walk into our store we have out seasonal section. My CW was there straightening up and greeting guests as they walked in. This lady walked in with a toddler. My CW greeted her but the lady just walked by dragging her little girl behind her. CW said that as they passed the little girl kept saying "mommy, poopy. Mommy, poopy." The lady stopped by out back to school section and started to go through the backpacks. As my CW watched the little girl walked a few feet away and then bent down. The little girl was wearing a long sundress. When she bent down the dress covered her legs completely. My CW thought she was bending down to look at something on a shelf. The little girl then stood up and walked to her mom. But when she walked away there was a pile of poop on the floor. The little girl was pooping and using her dress as a cover. The mom looked over and saw the poop and my CW"s face. My CW said that she couldn't hide her expression of shock and disgust that this lady was letting her kid run around with no kind of diaper on and then she poops on our floor. The lady shot back a dirty look, grabbed her kids hand, and continued to shop! My CW called me and my manager over to show us the poop. While my manager cleaned it up the lady continued to shop and never attempted to help us clean up her kids poop or apologized.

Why didn't they confront that lady? That's just disgusting , rude & insensitive.

[PepperElf]

probably because she'd have complained to corporate at how horrible they were to her and how much they embarrassed her... then she'd be given free stuff in compensation

You would think even if she did not offer to clean up what her kid did on the floor she would at least take the kid to the bathroom to clean her. Ewww.

Basically. My manager said she knew the lady would have started screaming and somehow blamed us for the fact that her kid pooped on the floor.

Sounds like your SM knows this woman.

Poor kid. Mom doesn't care enough to take her to the bathroom. I can imagine if the girl said, "mommy, hungry" mom wouldn't have bought anything to give her to eat and the kid would be eating your candy and sodas; and of course mom would be upset that you were "giving" her kid sweets.

Maybe a call to CPS would have been in order -- I can't imagine what kind of a mother she must be if she effectively teaches her daughter it's acceptable to not only shit in public, but to do so on someone else's property, and to not even clean up after oneself. If she ignores the needs of her child so blatantly, she can't be a fit mother.

"Mommy, poopy" turns around to "a poopy Mommy."

Hear hear.

Just as last as yesterday, I was out doing grocery with Lil'Zel. We didn't have to shop much, just some bread, milk and toothpaste.

We had only got the toothpaste in the cart when Lil'Zel said: "Um, Mom? I need to go to the bathroom..."

Me: Ok, do you think you can manage until we get the rest of the stuff and pay for it, there's a bathroom near the exit and we only need milk and bread...

Lil'Zel: Um, no, Mom. I really need to go. NOW. (Take in mind that this is a 4 y/o autist who only got potty trained 6 months ago - when he says "now", he REALLY means it)

Cue me dropping everything and lead Lil'Zel to the bathroom. Once that was taken care of, we got back to the aisle, picked up the crate and continued our shopping.

Really, it ain't THAT difficult.

[Redbeard]

Agreed, I would have walked her to the exit and told her that she can shop elsewhere, then file an immediate incident report

[BeenThereDoneThat]

I feel so sorry for that kid.

Parent of the year right there. Lady, they're called "pull-ups" for a reason.

How ANY parent would just let their kid do their business in the middle of a store, see it, and then walk away like nothing happened without even offering to help clean it up is beyond me. Embarrassing? Yes, but that's still no excuse not to leave it there and have the poor employees clean up your kids excrement. Ask for some paper towel, wipe it up as best you can, and then throw it in the toilet and flush. NOT ****ING HARD.

Also, how nice is it to let your little daughter walk around with an unwiped ass? The car ride home must have been "pleasant".

[Dreamstalker]

I suspect that when they got home she yelled at the poor kid for getting her dress dirty

[mikoyan29]

Wow...just when I thought we couldn't devolve any further....

Eh, you don't want to flush paper towels down the toilet. That'll clog up the plumbing and NOT endear yourself to the store.

There's a reason why we never kept paper towels in the restrooms at the wholesale club. ...correction, in the women's restroom. Apparently, the men's room users were bright enough not to do so, but whenever we stocked them in the women's room? Clogged toilets. Always.
