I Sense Another Frivolous Lawsuit, Part 2
(My checkout is right at the top of the escalators, with four kids ranging in age from about 7-13 were playing on them.)
Me: “Guys, please don’t play on the escalators, you could get hurt.”
(The kids go away for all of a minute, then return.)
Me: “I asked you to please stop playing on the escalator.”
(A woman emerges from a display a few yards away.)
Customer: “Don’t tell my kids what to do!”
Me: “Ma’am, then please keep them away from the escalators, it’s dangerous.”
Customer: “Don’t tell me what to do!”

Me: “You were saying, ma’am?”
Customer: *storms off*
