Cash For Baby Bumpers
(I hear glass shattering from the back of the store, near the wine department. As I head to the source of the sound, I hear a second shatter and see a small child in a cart reaching for a third wine bottle to pull off the rack. There’s no sign of a parent around.)
Me: “Stop that!”
(I grab the cart and pull it away from the wine racks. Suddenly, the absent parent shows up.)
Customer: “How dare you touch that cart! My child is in that cart! How dare you touch my child without my permission!”
Me: “Ma’am, your child has broken two bottles of wine and was about to break a third bottle. I just saved you another $12.99.”
Customer: “Saved me? You’re the one trying to kidnap my child!”
Me: “Ma’am, you already owe me $26 for what happened when you were not watching your own child.”
Customer: “If you’re going to charge me money for bringing my child into the store, I should just let you take him!”
