"CLEAN UP in aisles 7, 8, and 9..."

[missbartender]

So I used to work at a little gourmet grocery store, both as a cashier and at the customer service desk.

One day I was sitting at the desk, and a woman came up and told me that her daughter had opened a 2 liter bottle of soda, and poured it on the ground in aisle 6.

Not a problem, I went over the intercom and called for a mop.

Well, the mother failed to take the bottle away from her daughter (or even to bring her young daughter with her to the desk) and the daughter proceeded to walk up the next two aisles and pour the soda on the ground in those as well.

I honestly blame parents for the way their children behave.

As well you should...

Was it Mountain Dew or some other such yellow soda by chance?

Was it Mountain Dew or some other such yellow soda by chance?

Ah yes, WYSIWYP soda (says the guy with the 4l/day MDR)

Good grief. This is almost (though not quite) as bad as when a child messes themselves on the floor and the parent leaves it behind because it's the employee's "job" to clean it up. Grrr
