Yet if something happened to the kids, suing Grumbel’s would have been the first thing he did. When I worked at Radioshack, if parents attempted to drop kids off, we would call the cops.
Try working at a movie theater. Parents are constantly dumping their kids off and then not showing up on time to pick them up. Worse around the holidays.
This archetype is also hit-or-miss. I briefly worked at an electronics store in mid 2014(garbage job, but that’s another story), and a mom dropped her clearly autistic son(roughly age 12) to browse around while shopped for clothing a couple of doors down. It was a slow day, and the kid and I shot the breeze about some old Wii games we both liked. He showed me a few Youtube videos on the demo laptops- his favorite music tracks from Super Mario Galaxy- and I insisted that Metroid Other M had at least some merit(I know, unpopular opinion but I stand by it), and it was just a good time for about half an hour.
The mom returned and said, in earshot of the kid, that she hoped he wasn’t too much trouble because he has a tendency to ramble. I just smiled and told her that no, he helped pass the time in a fun way, and oh, did you know buddy there has great taste in games? When they left, the kid and I did a fist bump, and I recommeded him a few other Wii games if he could find them used. I hope he found them,

I agree with Patrick. Let CPS explain to the idiots why you don’t just dump young children in a store and dip out to do whatever.
Yeah, that’s what libraries are for! (I kid! I kid!)
You better stop him, Craig. A department store is not a playground and retail workers are not babysitters. Watch your own kids, idiot!
