poopy babies

[Bosch]

Or in fitting rooms of clothing stores.. Yep and they hide the stink bombs under the benches.. But I loved catching one bitch and her two brats cause I'm quick..

Umm lady you left me a present that I don't want! She tried to keep walking and I walked around front of her and told her point blank. "I am not cleaning that up, its your nasty diaper you just left in a fitting room when we have garbage cans and changing tables in the restroom." And I said it loud enough for anyone to hear it. Yep she cleaned it up and complained to coroprate my response to that - write me up.. They passed since it was sooo disgusting.

One argument against changing babies in public that no one else has really brought up yet in this thread:

You never know who's watching. There are a lot of sicko's out there who like kiddies a little too much. Sorry if that seems extreme or paranoid, but I work with cops. We see that kind of thing a lot more then I'd like to admit.

The trolley boys at the supermarket have found a few dirty nappies in the trolleys... ew. X_x As for in a restaurant/cafe, if I was in one and someone was going to change their baby on a table, I'd complain to management and tell them to throw out the dirty bitch and her child, or I'd dob them in to corporate.

When I worked at Bevmo (supermarket like liquor store) I usually saw a diaper in a shopping cart at least once a month. Bleah!!! On my last day I saw a lady had pushed aside some bottles to change her baby on a shelf while I was sitting at the register. So I used the loud speaker to *cough* politely tell her that vodka aisle does not have a changing table but the restroom was in the back.

In college I worked at an upscale combination restaurant - live arts theater and one night a lady came in with a small baby and sat at the first row of tables bumping up against the stage. She breast fed through the first few songs of "La Traviatta" and the actors kept coming right to the edge of the stage to oogle her exposed breasts. After commingle a meal of beef wellington and asparagus with wine, desserts, etc, she pushed aside the remains of her meal and changed the baby right amid the china and silverware. You could see the actors eyes popping out of their heads during this.

Shortly thereafter we banned anyone under 12 at the establishment.

God. I don't have kids, but how hard is it to go somewhere private to change them? Think of it this way; would you want to EAT off a table that has had some kids shitty nappy on it? No? Then why would they expect others to?

But THEIR little darlings would NEVER have anything like bacteria or viruses or anything in thier crap. No it's made of sugar and gingerbread and cinnamon hearts... Or so they think because remember SC's dont ever think about others. They are VERY SPECIAL and the rules simply don't apply to them.

That's just not right...

Why are some people just too lazy to go to the restroom and change their kid's diaper there? Just about every public restroom I've seen nowadays has one of those fold-out changing tables, and it's not that difficult to use...

Yeah NOW they do...that wasn't the case when my now 19 year old was a baby. I've had to change her on counter tops and bathroom floors...thank god I always had a changing pad to put her on

Oh believe me I NEVER thought that about MY kid's crap I could only wish!

Had something identical to that happen in the restaurant I work at. Except they also left the used diaper on the table for the poor busser.

That happened to me frequently when I worked at the pizza restaurant. Come on, folks, there's a restroom not twenty feet away, change your baby there! You wouldn't drop trou and crap at the table yourself would you? Oh, wait, we're talking about SCs here, never mind.

[jjllbb]

omfg.

I wonder how they'd feel about eating off a table someone just changed their kid's diaper on (not that your place wouldn't clean it off, but just that they should consider how their actions impact others.) The world doesn't revolve around THEM!!!!!!!

[CrazedClerkthe2nd]

What gets me is the aversion to throwing diapers out. Yes, they ARE nasty, but it seldom takes more than 10 seconds to grab one and toss it (and I am speaking from experience here, I may not have kids yet but I have friends who do and I look after them sometimes), obviously most parents have tossed plenty of dirty diapers, why be afraid to do it in a store. YOU decided to have the kid, YOU take responsibility.

[Ironclad Alibi]

YOU take responsibility.

An SC that takes responsibility for anything? What a concept!

I really don't know how you can handle these people. Since most of them think they have a baby, so they can act like a baby or at the most a 2 year old in mental processing.

Seriously, I want an investigation done into this! Is there some sort of drug, making all these new mothers so stupid, something that's giving them brain damage? I mean there has to be an explanation somewhere right?

I would want to step up to them, get in their face and say "NO! NO! NO!" like you do to a naughty child, since that's at the level of thinking they appear to behaving at. Then if they made the big "I'm about to cwwyyy" eyes, I'd tell them "You DO NOT do that here, if you don't use a washroom now then leave."

I don't know how you would deal with them if afterwards they had a tantrum, and of course, you know they will. Call the cops, I don't know. I mean, you'd probably get fired for doing anything right?

I just don't understand this, really. These people don't have the common sense to not change precious' diapey in public, and they're responsible for another human being. No wonder CPS is so overwhelmed*

*When I say CPS, I don't mean that this would be a matter for them in such cases like real child abuse. I mean, in the sense that if they were to have to deal with all these mindless parents, they'd have no time to do anything else. These babies are being raised by adults who think like babies.

I've got a pretty bad story about a similar event.

I was working at a fast food restaurant at the time, I didn't get the whole scoop until the next day, the mess was left right before the shifts changed over, and while the day shift knew all about it, they didn't tell anyone on the night shift.

Apparently a lady came in with her baby to eat, she FORGOT to bring diapers with her, so what she ended up doing was removing the diaper, scraping off as much as she could into a sandwich wrapper, depositing said wrapper on the floor, and putting the diaper back on the kid and leaving.

I noticed it while I was out cleaning the lobby, a foul smell, and a random beef 'n cheddar wrapper on the carpet. I picked up the wrapper and found the thoughtful present underneath. The manager casually remarked that she'd heard there had been a mess of some sort in the lobby, and [kid with no work ethic] was supposed to have cleaned it hours ago. I got to clean it, but I was able to negotiate three free meals out of the deal at least.

That particular restaurant, if there was a mess in the bathroom, on the toilet seat, where it could easily be cleaned without soaking into anything or leaving a stain or even getting your hands dirty, they hire a professional cleaning service to take care of it. But if they find hours old poo ground into the carpet? No such luck.

To my own credit, after I was done, that was the cleanest spot in the entire lobby :P

It's cuz of people like this I can't bring my dog anywhere, arguing she might poop indoors or such.
It's related, because people won't pick up after their dogs.

Give it 10 more years and soon babies and toddlers will be banned from public establishments because their parents won't clean up after them.
Heck, it already happened earlier in the thread!
