We Get They’re Toddlers, But Still…

I am in a large fabric store and a lady has a toddler who is running wild; pulling fabric off the shelves. When the mom finally notices and puts the child in the cart, the kid throws a loud screaming tantrum which the mom also ignores.

Seeing the looks on the faces of other shoppers and the clerk, I do what she could not.

Me: “Excuse me, you’re ruining the shopping experience of all of us. Please take the child to your car until they’ve calmed down.”

She grabs the child in a huff and leaves the store. I saw her pull out of the lot. The clerk thanked me when I checked out.
