I just remembered this from the other day at Border's with the kids.
We were in the children's section & Tiny Love had been pulling the puppets/stuffed animals off the rack & lovin on them so they were laying on the ground as I was toddling around after her. (Of course with full intentions of cleaning up after ourselves)
An employee walks back & while she begins picking them up I apologize saying, "So sorry about that. We're having a bit of a playtime."
She responds with something totally rude that is escaping me at the moment, along the lines of "well its a big mess..."
I counter ever so politely with, "well, you know, it is the childrens section after all." & do you know what she says?
"Well, it is a retail store also, after all."
I beg your pardon??
Ummm, lady, Im in the childrens section of a bookstore. You know, thats the area with toys, puppets & brightly colored rugs & the baby I am with was attracted by those items.
It made me not want to spend any money in her retail store. But Id already promised the kids & its just not good to go back on a promise made to a 4 year old.
