(Argh, I hit the enter button too soon before clarifying) By that I mean, the woman is inconsiderate to come in and cause a scene like that. Just because your sister works there doesn't mean you should go and act like a psycho in public. If my sibling did that, I'd be too embarrassed to admit any relation to them. I wouldn't feel bad at all for the cashier after saying that. Slightly awkward? Yeah. But I still wouldn't give a rat's behind. People need to keep that sort of thing private. And if you can't calmly control your kids in public, then you shouldn't be a parent.

Your first post clearly said what you meant.

hells to the frickin yah ... took the words right out of my mouth!

Gossip is defined as casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true. OP wasn't gossiping, they were speaking the truth. ;-)

What the hell? He wasn't gossiping he was just talking to the cashier about something that was greatly bothering him. And by the way things seems to have gone, I think what is said hits the nail right on the the head. In other words stfu retard.

Okay so OP wasn't gossiping, bad choice of a word. However, I would've liked to see the look on the mom's face if she overheard OP saying it as rudely as she did. There are so many different ways to tell management such as "This woman is cursing and hitting her children, could you do something about it?" Honestly though, with the way OP says she told the cashier, it doesn't sound like she was telling her so that she could take the action to stop it. she just sounds like the kind of person who just can't hold their thoughts in their head. I'm sure everyone has met one of these kinds of people.

yes only the good ones though. leave the other hundred at home.

I can see how it could be hard for some parents, expense of daycare/babysitting etc, but honestly, there is no such thing as a 'bad child' - only ever bad parents. If someone can't control their kids it's their own fault, and they're certainly not going to respect violence and verbal abuse!

There are some children who are naturally more unmanageable and it's not the parents' fault. Despite medication, ADHD, bipolar, schizophrenia, Asperger's... all of those can cause good kids to just fly off the handle. But yeah, most of the time, it's bad parenting.

BTW if that's her sister, why is she letting her be a bitch in her store, during her shift!!!??? She could hace easily stopped her than to send you to a guilt trip. This is more of an fyl for you than a ydi.

People shouldn't physically abuse their kids ANYWHERE at ANYTIME.

One spank and you're done. They shouldn't go crazy again.

I remember seeing the same when I worked at Jack in the Box. People are rude and irritating. Generally, that is.
