Okay friends SO do I have a story for you!
Today me and my goats (kids get it?) Went to the land of much crafting supplies to pick out some stellar fabric for some soooo cute hair clips that I've been making my super cute princesses. (I've actually contemplated selling them....maybe I will....) While waiting in line to have my fab finds cut, I overheard {I wasn't eaves dropping she was talking REALLY loud} the fabric cutting lady...I would at this point like to call her the noise ordinance nazi, say a little something like this.
{First you have to know that in another area of the store, not too far from where we were there was a child having the most awesome tantrum....I seriously wish I could have seen it...but I like I said it wasn't where we were....but we could hear it.}
So Nazi lady says to the lady whom she is helping this.
"Oh my gosh, I think it is the most ridiculous thing to have children screaming, I don't go out until after their nap. Or leave them home with their dad..their part his...it's just so ridiculous"
And she went on and on and on about how having a child in a store that was crying is the most heinous thing ever.
I seriously said {albeit not loud enough} "you have got to be kidding?!"
And then when she started cutting my fabric she kept saying "It's my lunch break...I need someone else over here, I need to go to lunch, I'm missing my lunch" For real lady?! How ridiculous...cut my stinking fabric and go to lunch.....
I am sure your stale PB&J can wait!
So this is why this bothers me....she has no idea what was happening 10 isle over with this child. What if the child fell down, what if the child lost its momma, what if the child pee'd it's pants, what if the child has a mental issue, maybe the child has social anxiety, maybe the momma told the kid no...maybe this kid hasn't had a nap.
But whatever the reason for the tantrum was is that this lady is talking bad about a customer to another customer.
It is completely offensive to me, because I have had a child throw many
beautiful tantrums in public and I try not to make a big deal about it. And sometimes my child has bawled her eyes out because she can't have that new barbie...and she's even had a nap.
Kids are unpredictable..they throw fits...that's what they do. Then to add insult to injury she proceed to complain to me that she needed to leave and go have her lunch. Pretty much painting the picture that her Frito's were more important then helping out a customer. Great Customer service huh?!
So this is where I want all you mommas (and papas) out in blog lands advice. Would you call the store management and tell them about their employee? {yes I got her name..it was on her name tag} I just think a store should know that their employee is painting a bad picture as to how they treat and value their customers. What do you think?
XOXO
