So no big issues at work today, it was kinda slow with some spurts of activity.
But something happened to my friend back in domestics. So you know about those dumbass shoes with the wheel in them (Heelies or whatever), well you can't use them in the store because it's just like rollerblades and stuff like that. It's not safe! Well, my friend saw them earlier and then heard one of them yell 'wipeout.' So, because she doesn't want to get in trouble for one of the kids using them, she went and told them they couldn't use them in the store. The mother of the kids told them, "Keep using them" and walked off. So she went and told our security person, but they had already left.
But honestly, I get the whole 'Don't tell my kids what to do' shtick, but when you are in a PUBLIC place especially one full of people, you can have some consideration for others. Because who would the mom blame if her kid hurt themself...the store! Because no one has any personal responsibility anymore. If I were my friend, I would have told her to leave right then and there.

Ack! I hate heelies. Your story reminded me of something that happened a few days ago.
I was walking towards the back of the store and one of the managers, a team lead, and a group of 6 or 7 guests (3 of whom were kids) were all talking in the middle of the aisle. I heard my manager say to one of the guests "We have a system if something like this happens". I didn't know wtf was going on but I continued walking. Later, I asked the team lead what happened and she said that she found one of the kids by herself destroying the store. The team lead went to the kid and asked her if her parents were in the store. The kid said that she didn't know where her parents were. The entire store had to look for the kid's parents and couldn't seem to locate them. Finally, the kid's parents saw the team lead and the manager walking with the kid and YELLED at them for "taking her away from us". Dude.. They were just trying to HELP.
It's amazing to me how many crappy parents there are nowadays.
