My mom would let us get away with that. One store only for school supplies. I wanted a Pikachu backpack but had to settle for Blastoise. Loved that back pack.
While I do think the kid needs a time out, I am reminded of a FOXTROT strip where the mom couldn’t find a Jurassic Park lunchbox so got her son a Barney the Dinosaur one because… dinosaurs. That’s kind of like tossing your kid into a wild animal enclosure because there’s no petting zoo section.
I hate it when people just LET their kids misbehave like that in public.
…and when they let their kids talk to them like that.

Except the wild animals are a lot more merciful and humane than the kid’s classmates.
to this day I’m still not sure if Andy did that to Jason deliberately
