Friend of mine who works in the deli at Voldemort said he was barely a month into the job when a customer threatened to 'shank' him because he didn't slice the lunch meat exactly how he wanted. And then everyone wonders why retail peons end up hating the human race.
Kid from the second story, well, he'll be something someday . . .
The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
I'm halfway surprised the bread mom didn't tell her kid to SMASH all of the bread >_>
Probably would have been a good idea to follow the kid til she left the aisle, then just take the bread back and tell her it's illegal to move it or something

If I ever swore like that child in front of my parents, I would not be able to sit down for a week and would still have the taste of soap in my mouth years later. That kid needs a good talking to from my dad.

If I acted out like even a fraction of that bad when I was just a little Dgoddess, I would not be here today.
My Mom would have not only stomped me into the ground, but would have picked up the pieces, dropped them into a baggie and taken them home with her to stomp all over again.
That kid needs to meet my mom . . .and afterwards, his favorite song will be Bocephus' "Attitude Adjustment."

If I didn't know better, I would have sworn you went to the same store Lupo shops at.
To right the countless wrongs of our days... We shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise...Oh, what a wonderful world such would be...
I would've jerked my cart away from the kid, too. I don't care who's kid he is; I don't allow that kind of behavior, even if his mom does. And who's she going to complain to? My manager? Oh, yeah--I don't work there.
