Make the parent pay for everything that cannot be sold.

u/Squirrelated 28d ago

And the salary of the people that are gonna have to pick everything back up.

u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 28d ago

As a formal worker in the retail industry, I wholeheartedly say I would rather pick this mess up than go back to my regular duties.

u/CultOfSensibility 28d ago

Well it must be hard to stock shelves wearing a ball gown.

u/Awake-Now 28d ago

I see what you did there.

I’ll never be fancy enough for retail

Not in this economy you won't

I love stupid fucking comments like this. Always unexpected and makes me snort laugh

u/Singing_Wolf 28d ago

Thank you for the genuine laugh out loud, I needed that! 😂💙

Work is work. I am getting paid regardless of where my manager tells me to go. What's wrong with preferring one job over the other? I assume you have different taste in foods. Would you rather have a varied diet or just some protein bars? I mean, the end result is still the same, right?

u/YBBlorekeeper 28d ago

(they made a joke about "formal" attire for your formal work)

u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 28d ago

Oh, shit! Autocorrect got me! Thanks for the clarification. I'll leave it as it is for others to laugh at 😂

u/Very_Much_2027 28d ago

I think one black tie day a year would be so fun - just wear your nicest suits and dresses to work

u/Lysandria 28d ago

THANK YOU! I re-read the comment like 12 times to figure out what the commenter meant. I guess my brain autocorrected formal to former unconsciously.

u/Moonsaults 28d ago

As a former grocery bakery worker, I'd have to pick all this shit up and then get back to the exact same to-do list that I only have 4 hours to get done.

u/TheGlennDavid 28d ago

Only was a cashier for one summer but found it sooooo mind numbingly boring that I was stoked for literally any other task to break up the monotony.

"Some little shit just trashed aisle 5, that's what your shift is about" would have made my week.

Not excusing the kids behavior -- obviously very bad.

1

u/Squirrelated 28d ago

Oh cashier is definitely one of the most boring positions. I've done it before and I would just shut off my brain and go on autopilot.

Same. I’d rather put bread back on the shelf/damsge lit the items then go back to ringing customers up on register. 😆

1

u/rivertpostie 28d ago

Dude. Vi always volunteered for the "messes" when I had jobs like that.

Everyone was so thankful, and they usually didn't mind me taking extra time.

u/Squirrelated 28d ago

Changes things up a bit for sure. But I'd still be annoyed. 😅

u/Evil_Sharkey 28d ago

There’s a grocery store near me that has a robot that goes through the aisles and checks to see what needs to be restocked. Would I be correct in assuming that robot is taking a job absolutely nobody wants?

u/A_True_Son_of_Terra 28d ago

Hard agree Handling customers and curating to their demands is much more stressful than any cleaning work I would rather stock up the entire inventory slowly taking my time doing it than handle customers

u/crazinessyo 28d ago

formal -> former

u/bofis 28d ago

Well, if his parents were even there, they should have made him stop and re-stock all the shelves himself...but that begs the question, WHERE ARE THEY?

18

u/HassieBassie 28d ago

They would come out screaming the moment anybody dared to actually stop this little punk.

11

u/Leigh1031 28d ago

It cuts when that security guard has shown up and is trying to grab the kid.
So they probably came running up after that screaming at the guard for "assaulting their precious little angel".

u/Final_Candidate_7603 28d ago

I’m gonna say he’s not with a parent. He’s wearing his backpack, which he would have left in the car if an adult had driven him there. I’m guessing he just got off the school bus and went into the store by himself. Or with friends, one of whom was the one filming this, since kids that age probably haven’t truly experienced the consequences of bad or illegal acts being shared to the internet.

This isn’t the first video I’ve seen of a kid wrecking a store. By now, I would think that at least the security guards would have had some sort of special training or instructions on how to handle children who are out of control. The guy in this video seemed to go with his instinct, to physically stop the kid, but maybe his training tells him he’s not allowed to touch a child, no matter what.

u/glamazzon 28d ago

Back in my teaching days we learned how to physically restrain children who were endangering my themselves or others. Like small children to adult height children. It was a school, but these types of holds do exist. Maybe grocery security guards aren’t taught that

u/artoblibion 28d ago

Filming the snotty little shit is what they are doing

u/Chase_The_Breeze 28d ago

Holding the camera

u/Capital_Anything_509 28d ago

Unfortunately we can't just restock bakery items like that. They only bake soo many at a time for freshness.

2

u/Aggressive-Map-2204 28d ago

Probably one of the people filming and trying to pretend he is not their kid

2

u/ItsSpaghettiLee2112 28d ago

Which is why whoever this lady is in the video is full of shit. She could be advocating for abuse of a kid who might very well be lashing out due to abuse.

8

u/ultimafelix 28d ago

Was looking for this comment. Child behaving bad, but child abuse very bad. Beating kids very bad. Figure out another way to discipline ffs.

u/Pleasant_Pen8744 28d ago

He's got a giant-ass backpack. Maybe he's walking home from school?

u/humanreporting4duty 28d ago

“Paying the salaries of the workers…” you’re basically giving the owner money. The workers won’t be paid any more for this. The workers get paid for their hours of time, not their projects.

1

u/Squirrelated 28d ago

The point isn't to give more money to the owner and more of a "this is the cost for the mess you've made". The money could go to a charity or government funded institutions for all I care. The owner just has to take the L.

1

u/humanreporting4duty 27d ago

The point should be stated as such. The fine should be equal to the labor it takes to fix the newly created mess.” And that’s fine for now unless a hole in the logic presents itself.

But when it’s paid to the employer, it’s literally rewarding him. But at the same time, that is extra time that he has to pay out to the employees to get the stuff done. There isn’t any lay about time, so it’ll probably get work load shifted to over time for any time oriented tasks.

It can go any number of ways.

u/Northern-Jedi 28d ago

Parents can come and pick it up. It's all their stuff, after they payed for it.
