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.
For some weird reason, we never had character backpacks. The only time we did was in 1987, and we both had Popples backpacks. But usually, she let us pick stuff out, and we almost never chose character backpacks. And she always brought us with her when it came to shopping for school supplies.
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
