To think this shop assistant was rude

I went into a small shop today with my daughter (2) and my mum. Started having a look round and the shop assistant saw us. My daughter had took her hair clip out and was putting it near her mouth. I was about to tell her not too and shop assistant said ‘don’t you put that in your mouth, you will choke and will be taken to the hospital’. She then scowled at me.

My daughter was starting to get tired. We carried on looking round the shop and she started having a tantrum and making a scene so I picked her up and took her straight out the shop and went outside. On the way out the shop assistant gave us a disapproving look and looked down her nose at us and tutted. My mum stayed in the shop and apparently when we left the shop assistant was shaking her head and let out a big sigh. Aibu to think she was rude?

I read previous comments on this post and just had to respond.../..people working in shops usually can not get a better job - she should know her place and not be so judgmental and condescending. I don't care I'M ENTITLED TO MY OPINION - Mansfield - the customer service in some of the shops is off putting and it's usually metered out by some ignorant shop girl. You go over their head and complain or never ever go back. If you wanted her opinion you would have asked for it!

I don't understand people who obsess over every little incident in their daily lives, whether real or perchieved. Even if she was rude, why do you actually care?

It can really piss piss you off!

Well for a start she is playing with her stock and shopping baskets! They are not toys to be played with.
Maybe you need to gi to a gym and work out uf you ate not strong enough to overpower a 2 year old's legs?

She is pregnant?
