after an unusually quiet Saturday

today we had a quiet day at the old supermaket.
which is really odd for a saturday
but it reinforced something that really bugs me

every week, a woman comes shopping with her two young sons. nothing unusual there
the two boys load up of candy, then run around out ot control, ignoring their mother when she yells at them (in a scottish accent which makes it scary and a tad funny all at that same time)
now these two innocent looking boys have been known to:
  • climb all over the registers
  • go behind registers where customers arent allowed
  • climb all over unused trolleys
  • unlock a door we had locked due to the freezing cold weather
  • run around and TACKLE each other
now this wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt EVERY SINGLE WEEK
its beyond a joke.
this mother cannot control her children. i know, im in no place to judge how someone raises their children, but you'd think with how frustrated she gets and how annoyed everyone around them gets shed find a way to go shopping without them!?

dont get me wrong
i can handle your average annoying child that cries and screams cause mummy or daddy said no to the chocolate bar/dvd/ hanna montna hair clip. but these two kids leave a trail of destruction in their wake and make me want to scream

and i like kids!
