Parents, Control Thy Deductions!
Feb. 27th, 2005 06:36 pmI've noticed that as a cashier, we have kids misbehaving all the time in the checkout line.
First things first, how not to discipline your kids.
This lady has two little hellions, and one of them hits the other, right in front of me. The lady goes over to the one and says... "Hey!" ::smack!:: "We don't hit." I looked at her and my first thought was of Bill Engvall. "Here's your sign, ma'am."
About an hour later, I was waiting on a police officer that had just gotten off duty (still in uniform.) Behind them, a man with two brats of his own, and the brats cannot stop oinking at the police officer. Officer says nothing, and the man seems to not be looking. When the officer leaves, I asked if he knew what his brats had been up to. He says, "Of course I do, I told them to talk to the pig!"
Finally, I had a customer with a kid who couldn't take that their parent didn't want them to have a candy bar. So he reached up, scanned it himself (while I was bagging) and ran like hell. We had a devil of a time getting the candy bar off of the kid.
