i was grocery shopping today and wanted to buy apples. There was a kid about 4 standing in front of a large display of apples (- the kind I wanted) touching them, putting his hands all over them, and picking them up and throwing them to the top of the pile. I watched him throw about six apples before I got to the display.
I asked him what he was doing and did he think anyone wanted to buy apples that he has touched and bruised by throwing? He looked at me, stopped and went to his dad, who spoke to him in a language I didn't understand ( for all I know, he told him to ignore me) and then kid went back and continued, with the dad watching.
I told the dad I didn't want to buy them since he son was ruining them all, the dad didn't say anything, so I walked away incredibly frustrated.
I was so irritated that this was going on, and no one seemed to care. A staff member was stocking fruit nearby by didn't say anything. Yes, it's only apples (as dh says and to let it go...) but I just wonder what chance the kid has with a dad like that....
So Aibu to still be annoyed I couldn't get apples today? Would you have bought them?
