It's ok, Clumsy. You NEED to do that. I've seen too many moms/or grandmas just give the kids what they want to shut them up. Not good. Hold your ground, soon he'll be a joy to take shopping. I hate that I was in the grocery store last night. I had 20 cans of cat food in my handbasket & was going to the Express line (all the cashier had to do was scan one can & multiply by 20) when I saw a woman in front of me with ALOT more than 10 items on the belt. She had 3 kids in her shopping cart/the store was not that busy so I figured the cashier was free & she told the woman to go thru the Express. They've done that for me before so I thought nothing of it & as I started to put the 1 can on the belt a woman came behind me saying" I KNOW she has more that 10 items (the woman ahead of me)! What is up w/this shit??? I've had a bad day"....blah, blah, blah. This woman was REALLY FUSSING up a storm so the woman ahead of me apologized to her, saying she had the kids & wanted to get out of the store quickly. The woman behind me said, "When you're in a store, you KNOW that the 1st 2 lines are always for Express" You speak English so I KNOW you can read the signs. Don't TELL me you can't read these signs". I offered to let the bitchy woman go ahead of me, smiling all the while, trying to diffuse the situation. She apologized to me for being so angry but then she started again. Saying she had been up all night & STILL had to go home & bake her grandson a birthday cake. I felt REALLY bad for the grandson if he ever had to deal w/grandma's temper! I also felt badly for the kids & the 1st woman was obviously flusterred & just wanted to get out of there. I told the bitchy woman to blame the cashier for letting this happen by not pointing out that it was the Express line & damn if she didn't start RANTING & RAVING at the cashier. I switched lines & then she REALLY went off on all those around her.The store manager came out, asking the woman WHY she was blaming the cashier. **I ducked my face** Crazy woman started CUSSING at a man who tried to intervene. I kept watching her to make sure she didn't reach in her pocket & pull out a gun....she was just that crazy sounding. Jilly, Jolly & Zoe, you can shop for your own food next time!
