Paying for some tights in M&S today. DS2 asleep in pushchair. He is 8 months. This is a rare treat (the sleep, not the tights).
The lady on the till sees a queue forming and naturally calls for colleagues to open another one. She picks up a bell, not a little tinkly thing but a great big one like they have in schools. She rings it with gusto. I hush and rock the pram as baby now waking up. I pray for a speedy transaction.
The colleague duly appears and then she too picks up the same bell to ring it AGAIN. At this point I crack and loudly beg the women to stop ringing the bell. The poor women apologise and look at me like I have taken leave of my senses.
Now I feel totally mortified. I didn't mean to be rude or come across as an uber-entitled mother who expects the world to revolve around her (sleeping) children. They were just doing their jobs. Going back to apologise would make it worse
I fear.
What would you do?
