Baby Cart

(I am a fifteen-year-old man. I’m pulling in carts from the parking lot and putting them in the lobby so customers can just grab a cart and go shopping. I have just set a large group of carts as a young woman comes up to me pulling a stroller.)

Woman: “Hey, can you watch my baby while I go get groceries, please?”

Me: *startled* “Ma’am, you can bring your baby inside.”

Woman: *ignores me* “Thanks, here.”

(The woman pushed the stroller to me and I caught it to prevent it from rolling down the hill from the store’s entrance. I was stuck at the entrance, seriously worried that, at 15, I just got stuck with a kid. A few minutes later the lady came out with an armful of groceries, grabbed the stroller, and without even a thank you walked away…)
