The store is afraid he will shoot the place up if anything is said. The decline of civilization. Perhaps he was a terrorists spreading the disease to destroy Amerika. ??????? =0}

Ignorance is inherited.. Poor kids

Irritating

Saw the same thing this morning at Aldi... a youngish woman with an infant and three boys under 10. They were outa control.

They better change their name to "Unsafeway"

I had some fucking idiot keeping on encroaching my safe zone this morning. If I had been a bit more quick-witted, I would have told him to fuck right off and stop threatening me like that.

Parents will just say "I can't leave my kids in the car or at home, you have to let me in". And no one is going to argue with that because hell hath no fury like a self-righteous parent told they suck at being a parent.

It might not be the store that is wholly to blame. Is your county or state implementing public rules like limiting the number of people in a store and offering guidelines for stores to implement, backing them up if they were to step in an ask the kids to stop that action?

In my county, they are allowing only 5-10 people in the store at a time. As each person comes out another person is admitted in. Having more than one family member in the store is discouraged, enforced by the stink-eye given by those waiting to get in.

But yes, any parent allowing kids to touch anything in the store during these times is not setting a good example. Hopefully you spoke up, directly to the father, and reminded him that we are being asked not to touch an item unless we are seriously thinking of buying it. Hopefully that will catch on, by gently educating those who don't realize they are engaging in dangerous behavior for themselves and others.
