My niece, on the other hand.... it seems I am the only one who can get her to actually BEHAVE somewhat in the store. I never use the "next time" ploy with her. She will remember! And she will ASK next time. But she misbehaves nearly all the time in the store and pretty much everywhere. Her mother (my sister) is on her phone and the computer all day everyday when she is home with her daughter. So, I think it's safe to say she gets away with everything. What is her mother thinking? I have no clue. I've been trying to figure her out for 29 years, to no avail.
I know sometimes it can just be that day that your child child decides to misbehave. It's almost like they realize the month is coming to an end and they haven't taken advantage of their "sick/vacation days" and must make up their quota before it runs out.
I think the at home situation is really what it boils down to. If it's consistent, the child is misbehaving because they are not receiving enough attention at home. They know mom/dad will eventually respond to them when they are acting up. (Displaying my inner-kid but for anyone who's watched anime, this reminds me of Naruto when he was a prankster). But back to real world, parents need to engage with their children. Playing with them/spending quality time is crucial to their development. Always makes me angry to see homes where the parents let the child watch tv all day. I don't care how busy your day at work was... if you can't spend time with them... you shouldn't be a parent.
Ok I get that people can be on the computer and phone... but what I don't get is how some people seem unable to do anything BUT stay on the phone or computer. I mean... it's not that hard to get up, tend to the kids, cook, clean, ect and just come back to the comp when you have a spare min or so to post and whatnot... or... say if you have a phone.. it's not that hard to text and do this stuff at the same time... At least not for me it isn't... lol.

YEs Exactly. It happened to me today and all I had was a Dang apple.
I'll just eat the apple while I'm shopping and put the little sticker on something else. Too bad gum is packaged. And I'm j/k.
You should plant an apple tree. I've been in my laboratory since... 5 min ago trying to make a trident gum tree. No luck yet.

Yes, yes, yes. If you can't multitask and attend to children, then stop and take care of them. I don't mean attend to their every whim but if they need assistance or need one-on-one play time (yes, they do need it)... oblige.
I know everyone isn't married or in a relationship, but if you were at one time... you are in it because you have an emotional need. Until they are grown and on their own, they need attention. (I'm only saying it cause it came to mind, not because I'm pointing the finger at anyone. I use "you" as a general term, lol. Just being clear)

I hate when people are at the self-checkout and they have NO IDEA how it works. The worker has to keep coming over to help them. WTF. If you don't know how it works, then stand in a queue...don't waste other people's time who KNOW how to scan their own shet.

I think it's funny when my kids can walk beside me or their daddy and NOT stray... yet we have passed by parents with older kids still in the cart. If one of our kids STARTS to run off... we tell them to get their lil butts back over here... Did that with my son while passing some other parents.. and they dang near jumped outta their skin.. then looked appalled that I would DARE yell at my child to stay by my side... Sorry But I'm not going to chase his butt all over the store. He knows what mommy says... goes. lol
You know what's funny? My five year old ASKS to go into the cart! LOL She knows, when I have a big shopping trip, she does NOT want to go...or she wants to sit in the cart. Generally, I try to get the 2 seat carts, if the stores have them. But even with those, they sit very well. Their cousin is CONSTANTLY getting off the cart to run around.... when her MOM is there. When it's me, she listens.

I can count on one hand how many times I have used the self scan. But, when I have a large order and/or lots of coupons, I do NOT use self scan! Oh, and I don't do extreme couponing either lol. I use only what I need, on products I will USE
ETA: Yes, I know how to use them. I was a cashier for 6 years. If I didn't know how after that, I think I would have to hurt myself LOL
