We're in the dollar store today, waiting in line, and there's this grandmother-aged woman being rung out with little girl who was, maybe five years of age. It's important to note that, as grandma was perusing the aisles, her little princess was tearing around the store, barely supervised.
During the transaction, the little brat reaches up onto the counter and grabs a tube of lipstick off of an impulse display, and starts to smear it all over her face. The woman behind the counter (the owner, I believe) politely told the woman that she would have to pay for the lipstick.
Grandma went Hiroshima. "I can't believe you're going to make me pay for this. It's only a dollar, and accidents happen. This is terrible customer service!!"
I have to give the woman behind the counter credit, she stuck to her guns and made the old bag pay for the misbehavior of her granddaughter.
If there hadn't been a long line of folks waiting behind us, I'd have been tempted to tell granny what I was thinking: "You know, if you spent a few extra seconds and actually paid attention to what your little breeding mishap was doing, you wouldn't have had to pony up that extra buck."
What the hell is wrong with parents/grandparents these days?
