Some years ago in Sainburys there were a gaggle of Mums chatting and blocking the Aisles and the kids were running wild. It was shortly before Xmas and there were the stacks of Quality Street tins etc. piled around. Two of the young boys were laying into a stack with their feet and the Mums were ignoring them. I suggested to them that they might like to buy all the dented tins and they replied that what their kids were doing was no concern of mine.

On another occasion there was a Mum with a young child who was playing merry hell because she didn't want to do what Mum was saying. The little monster then proceeded to start picking stuff from the Vegetable display and throwing it all over the shop. Mum didn't stop her just said 'If you don't stop we're going home' and eventually dragged the little monster out of the shop leaving her full trolley in the middle of the aisle and the fruit and veg all over the floor. If I'd have had any say the kid would have picked it all up and Mum would have been made to pay for it.
