HAHA Meat, sounds like you and I could trade a million retail stories and still not scratch the surface.  Nothing reveals the ugly side of society quite like working retail.  Or be in law enforcement.

Fast Food is by far the worst of a sales type job.  You get people wanting everything for nothing, people that look down on the workers, and  messy babies by the boatload....and let's not get to the bathrooms.  It's an experience everyone should do atleast once, maybe there would be less *******s in the world.

that's the same thinking that would disempower and criminalise the vast majority of  parents who use their own judgment to determine when to sparingly spank their kids.. ie nanny state knows best.

And there's a big difference between brutalising a kid by beating it and spanking or smacking a badly misbehaving kid across the arse or legs with an open hand to discipline it. and if you don't know the difference maybe you should never become a parent.

if that situation in the opening post had of happened in new zealand and the mother had smacked her tantrum throwing kid instead of buggering of to her car she would have been breaking the law, and no doubt there would have been a civic minded do-gooder witness nearby to dob her in to the cops. she may have even escaped prosecution if the cops deemed her offending was at the lower end of the scale, but she would be in for plenty of authoritarian grief as her and probably the rest of her family is tagged for scrutiny from the cops and social services.

The first time I saw that South Park ADD episode I thought it was brilliant!

Back when we used to beat our kids, you didn't see the kind of behavior that you see today.

I remember when I transferred schools in the 2nd grade I was sent to the principal to be shown the huge friggin' "paddle" he used to spank the "bad kids" with, getting in trouble became a non-issue.  It just wasn't gonna happen because the fear it instilled stayed with me for the next 4 years.

There was a lady in the news the other day that left her kid throwing a tantrum in the store and the police were called.  She was arrested for child endangerment, and she was just sitting in her car in the parking lot.

As soon as she walked off you shoulda called the cops.

the distinction is blurry though, and discipline and punishment can be combined

little johnny scribbles over the new wallpaper with a crayon for the tenth time and gets spanked by an exasporated mum.

discipline: little johnny will think long and hard about doing the same again

punishment: for screwing up the wallpaper little johnny gets to learn a life lesson.. dont mess with you mum

the paddle looks relativly kind compared to getting "six of the best" with the bamboo canes that were used in a lot of nz schools.

it depended on how much effort the teacher put in to the swing and the protection from the clothing you wore but the cane drawing blood wasn't that uncommon.

If I sit and think hard enough, I could come up with a lot more. I worked every dept in a grocery store except meat and bakery/deli. Only have about 5 1/2 years worth but I came across a lot of nutjobs


Remember one crazy old bat that actually tried to PUNCH a the store manager because we were sold out of ground beef

And then about a few weeks later she got mad at me because she wanted me to rip open a sack of potatoes so she can buy a few small russet taters instead of the bigger idaho taters.  (I was working produce back then)

Kept trying to explain to her that I cant do that and thats not how things work there. All she did was argue and argue some more. I finally told her "No, im not going to do it" with a And thats final tone of voice. She got mad and left.

Crazy old bat.


Another woman wanted a botle of Kraft ranch salad dressing thats on sale. The shelf was empty. She asked if we had any, and I said no I didnt see any in back. (Even though we got a truck in that morning and I was stocking that section off a roll-around cart I had). Even though we just got our truck in and I knew good and well it was back there on one of the pallets, we had a big truck and I didnt have the time to waste to go look for one thing.  She said to me "well I guess you dont care about losing customers" or something like that. I just game her a look like she was crazy and went back to stocking.

I wasnt lying when I said I didnt see it. I didnt see it on the front row of pallets whe I dug my crap out, so to me its not in stock until I get my hands on it.

Turns out it was in the last row of pallets along the wall. Estimated time to dig it out just for her would of been about 10-15 minutes.

Sorry but I dont have time for impatient crybabies.

people that don't like or can't work retail have no people skills.

when you are in contact with the customer/potential customer you are the tip of the spear, you are what makes or breaks a business. That customer pays your wages and makes profit for the business.
