Yes, Wal-Mart from 6am to 7am.
I ventured out this morning at 6. Five minutes into my trip to Wal-Mart I encounter a mom with 3 kids.
Just as I pass the canned tomatoes, the two year old throws up. Yeap, mom keeps shopping and I hear an employee offer to get her immediately checked out. The mom said, no thanks and kept shopping. This mom is one row behind me, as I rush to grab stuff and leave. The kid or maybe another kid throws up AGAIN. As I'm heading to the checkout, I see what appears to be a manager arguing with the mom.
I wasn't happy. I realize stores can ask customers to allow over 65 to shop special hours but can not refuse others entry.
Am I wrong to be upset with this mother who choose to put others at risk?
Single mom with three little kids, trying to get some supplies before she drops the kids off at the day care, except the day care closed down, so now she had to take the kids plus supplies to her friend, then off to the hospital where she will put in a 12 hr shift, if the day goes smoothly and she can get out on time.
But it's not going smoothly already because one kid is sick. She just wants to go home and put her kids back to bed and wake up next week.
But, she's a nurse, or a doctor, or a lab worker, and she has to get to work. Others are relying on her.
We don't always know one another's stories.
