Just another lovely Friday night at Winners...

This is a post for all of the parents out there, yes I am attacking parents! Just because you have learned to tune out your young child's obnoxious screaming and crying, it does not mean that the rest of us have learned that valuable skill.
Here is a quick tip... if you are out shopping and your child starts to scream at the top of their lungs, that is your cue to exit the store until your child calms down.
Last night after school I went to my shift at Winners and I nearly had an aneurysm. Kids, everywhere; all screaming and crying. One delightful little chap decided he was going to cry/yell constantly, he did not break at all! Do you think his loving mother, for the sake of everyone else's sanity removed him from the store? No, no she did not, she proceeded to shop for the next hour and forty minutes with her toddler screaming the entire time.
I am sympathetic, but it seems to me that if your child feels the need to yell for almost two hours, he is really not happy about something and instead of checking out the latest style of jeggings you should find out what that issue is.
Another quick tip, the display fixtures are not jungle gyms. They are not safe to be climbed on and in fact sometimes fall apart. Please pay more attention to where your children are playing in the store because if you are careless enough to let them play on the suitcase display you should accept responsibility when a giant piece of luggage falls on your child instead of blaming the store.  I can not count the amount of times I have had to ask kids not to play on the shelving units, purse displays and metal underwear rack while their parents are obliviously shopping near by. Next time I am letting them play and if a metal bar that is loose falls on their heads, don't say I didn't warn you.

P.S. I am not an Ogre and I do not hate children.
