Piggy Behavior Starts With The Parents
A woman in our store allowed her darling child to grab anything within reach and bang it against the shelves. At one point, the kid smashed a ceramic piggy bank.
Woman: “My darling got a fright when that bank smashed! I demand compensation!”
Me: “Actually, ma’am, I’m going to need you to pay for the broken bank.”
She then turned to the preschooler and started yelling.
Woman: “Now we won’t be able to buy groceries!”
More than likely, she was trying to get us to forgive the breakage. The manager came over and made her pay a token five dollars on a twenty-dollar piggy bank.
