Well, this descended into a nasty show of snobbery last night didn’t it! There’s clearly a contingent of posters who feel that OP’s daughter must have been rude because she’s some sort of Vicky Pollard character. The person who posted the Vicky Pollatd photo must be particularly proud.
Even though plenty of sensible people have commented that a) it doesn’t seem to be a rule b) it’s ok for people (even girls!!) to question nonsensical authority and c) if it is policy it needs to be displayed, there’s a contingent of posters who have really got the bit between their teeth and have run with this idea that they and their children are just better than OP and her daughter.
Yes, that’s how you’re coming across @MaloneMeadow and @WhatsTheUseOfWorrying etc. All your refs to Vicky Pollard and classy behaviour- we see you.
Perhaps you are from a higher socio-economic band than OP? Perhaps if you were asked to leave a store on spurious grounds, you’d shrug it off and wouldn’t care. That’s probably because you wouldn’t see it as a targeted attack on you, being used to fairly respectful treatment in life. Well, what if someone is used to being judged (by people like you) and decides, no, I’m not doing anything wrong. I’m going to stand my ground. What happens- they get called names by grown women on MN. Slow hand clap.
Some of you were defending your right to look down on people until quite late last night (and passing judgment on other people who were arguing with you because they had ‘nothing better to do’ - oh the hypocrisy!!). Others were going on about it being ‘comedy gold’ as if it was so beneath you. Yeah, so funny that some sections of society are followed round stores and then lambasted by snobs for not liking it.
Yuck.
