Irresponsibility

I have so many pet peeves, I could start a zoo!

When you shop, and you bring your child, please watch said child, either by actually keeping your eyes on them, or by restraining them in some way.

One woman was so busy arguing the price of an item, that was clearly marked on the shelf, that she wasn't watching her 3 or 4 year old when she took a candy bar from the shelf and started stomping on it... When it was good and mashed she handed it to her mother, who promptly yelled "NO" and put it on the shelf. My only idea, is maybe the kid thought by destroying it, mom would have to buy it. Unfortunately 4 year olds aren't too good at putting actions to words.



And here's a giggle!

A customer had 2 re-usable bags, and was very insistent that I know he had them, and how important he thought it was to reduce the amount of paper and plastic "shopping sacks" as he called them.
Then I watched him scan his items...

A whole refrigerated chicken,
in a plastic produce bag.

A bunch of bananas,
in a plastic produce bag.

A bunch of carrots,
in a plastic produce bag.

And... I kid you not...

A quart of milk,

you guessed it ~
in a plastic produce bag!

Every single item he bought, was wrapped in a plastic produce bag! Yes folks, the bag you carry it home in is evil, but the rest of them are fine. LOL!

The cat is outta the bag folks, and as usual,

Thanks for Noticing me!
