Not only was this a Dateline story ready to happen, how many of us have had children try to climb out of carts?

My mother used to leash me up like a dog.

I've never encountered a person in line who didn't have enough cash. Seldom anyone who pays in cash and  they're usually men.

I pay with a cc and still a dd up what's in my cart and round up,  so if the total is more, I know the cashier has scanned something twice or an item that's on sale wasn't  discounted in the system.

What does this have to do with the topic?

I would have thought it obvious. The person holding those in line behind her hostage while she counted change was inconsiderate.  If I can add up my items before checking out, so could she, count her cash and match the totals.

Beyond rude to wait to count her money until after her items were scanned.

I think that common sense has left the building. So many people are just oblivious to what is happening in our country. I think parents should be required to take parenting classes because the children suffer.

I am glad you stayed with the child. That child has probably been left alone in a cart many times. This is probably the mother's child raising technique. Every person for themselves and good luck in survival. It makes me shake my head and pray the child grows up without being abducted by a lunatic. The mother should have taken the child with her in the restroom. I have seen mothers do it. Let's pray for this child.

This is a perfect example of judging a situation without any info other than what someone says they saw.  A story.  Tsk tsk.  I wonder will this one will go.

We are not in court on a jury.  We are given a situation by. the OP and respond to the facts given. There will not be a verdict, only opinion that will affect no one.

She just didn't see it and walked by, this was what she experienced. Maybe you need to re-read her OP.

@rms1954   Maybe story is the wrong word used.  Maybe situation or experience is a better description.  These are comments on what people saw and were sharing.  What I saw on Monday was not made up it was just a comment on a sad situation I experienced.  I was just sharing showing life truly can be hard sometimes.  Maybe your life is perfect.  Life isn't perfect for everyone.  Some people do struggle.
