Shops are not playgrounds

Wish some parents would understand that shops are not playgrounds! Kids play with the toys, swing on the barriers, run around etc.

This is obviously more an issue when the schools are on holiday.

They also aren't date spots, social clubs or libraries, but that doesn't stop adults smooching, chatting away in front of the cheese fridge or reading every magazine on the rack.

The other day a kid was on a scooter in the supermarket, ran into a pregnant woman who was nearly toppled but managed to use a shelf to stay upright and scooted off laughing, the mum of the scooter kid just looked at the woman and walked off.

I can't believe that.

Don’t really understand what you want here? Slagging off parents session?
