AIBU to have remarked at the Asda colleagues?

[tooneedyme]

I have been annoyed twice in Asda recently at the behaviour of colleagues. Firstly was at the self serve checkout where my babygirl who was in her car seat (10weeks old) started crying and an Asda worker came and unstrapped her and lifted her out without my permission. I remarked that I hadn't given her permission to lift her out and she said, "Why do you mind?" Secondly was today with my DS (3) who was eating a sandwich and the checkout lady asked him if she could have a bit and he laughed and said "No". She then said "Oh you are very greedy." Then she said "Can I not have some?" He then said, "No it's mine not yours." He was laughing as he said it and she said, "Oh you are cheeky too." SHe didn't say it maliciously but I would never tell my ds he was greedy or cheeky without good reason and this annoyed me so I said "Actually he is a lovely little boy and not greedy or cheeky at all." AIBU to be annoyed at these people?

Shall we take bets on the OP coming back to tell us she intends to home school anyway?

Maybe so Worral but I am against anyone calling my ds "greedy" or "cheeky" without reason.

Do they sell grips in Asda?

If someone took my screaming 10 week old DS from his car seat and he stopped crying I'd tell them I'd be back in an hour and have run
It's a little unorthodox I agree but hardly crops me of the century and I'm supper in today's world that person/people are probably employed purely with the job description of entertaining children in line to make Karen's shopping experience easier.

We live in a strange world!

Second incident you are being so unreasonable IMO I can't grasp your issue? Unless it's to do with your ED and her choice of words?

Tooneedy - I think your own experiences of an eating disorder have led you to react in a way which is out of proportion with the incident. As the adult child of a parent with a long term eating disorder, I strongly encourage you to seek some additional support with your own attitudes to food to ensure that your child is not affected.

A friendly adult referring to your 3 year old in a jovial way as being greedy and cheeky will not cause him any harm. His mother over reacting to minor incidents as a result of long term wasting issues is far more likely to cause him problems.

My mother's eating disorders have caused me 30+ years of my own problems with food and relationships. I'm sure my mother thought her actions and attitudes were protective and appropriate, but they weren't, and neither are yours.

pipbin yeah they do quite cheap and usually sold with the scents

Are you sure this was Asda and not Primark? they might have moved on from yanking babies off the breast to comforting crying babies and threatening to steal toddlers soggy sandwiches.
Or not. I'm sensing a whiff of bs here but am prepared to believe the second incident did happen but in a jokey way...

yeah, sorry OP but I call bullshit. I worked in Asda, we didnt get time to fucking breathe let alone have time to pick up a baby and very much doubt this happened.

I would have found the first example you give helpful (I loved it when someone tried to stop my pfb crying if my hands were full) and the second funny (I love it when people interact with my children)
