My mother, daughter, and I stopped at a Walmart store on our way home from vacation. As we were shopping through the store, I left my
three year old daughter push one of the carts around the store. I got the feeling that we were given a lot of dirty looks as we went
through the store, but I didn't care. When we finally got two carts full, we decided to leave. When I started to unload the carts at
the checkout, my daughter started running around the aisles and bathrooms. Everytime I brought her back to us, she would run off
again. The cashier seemed to be annoyed at the situation. Some people just don't know what it is like to have a rambuntous three year
old like my daughter. I ignored her. Finally my daughter decided to stay near me. Unfornately, my daughter decided to start climbing
on the carasel. After many other attepts to get her to stop, I gave her some chicken I was buying. As I continued putting things on
the counter, my daughter was standing next to the carasel. Next thing I know, some of my daughter's chicken is on the floor. I
demanded to know what had happened. The cashier told me she had accidently hit my daughter with the carasel. Even though she said she
was sorry, I didn't believe it. I know she was getting annoyed at my daughter and hit her out of spite. At that point I just wanted
out of that store. After all the groceries where scanned, I handed the cashier my coupons. All of my coupons scanned except two. Then
she decides to be a miss coupon know it all, and goes through both of my carts looking for an item. That is when I got pissed. I got
very loud and said boy it sure takes us a lot longer to check out than it does to shop. I also added in that the cashiers like to be
busy bodies and abuse children. The cashier then gave up her fight. She rushed the rest of order, which I thought was very rude and
unprofessional. She looked like she was going to cry. I did give her something to cry about. I went to a manager and reported her. I
hope they fired her. There as no excuse for any of this at all
I also told that child beating cashier she was lucky this time and if there were not cameras she would have been taken out of her place of work in a stretcher, no one hits my children. I have a nine year old son as well, he too is misjudged. He got suspended from school for hitting another child. Most likely the child asked for it. Well he pulled her hair because she was telling everyone how she got the best mark in the class.(bragging and being an know it all ###). He told her she probably cheated or the teacher probably gave her the highest mark because she was teachers pet. She argued with him and hurt his feelings by saying that he was lying so at recess he pulled her hair. Several kids ganged up on him and told the teacher that he started the fight. They forgot to mention that she cheated and lied about it. Guess what my son got suspended this was months ago at the end of the third grade in May now it is March they kids are in fourth grade and that little lying ### still is not suspended for provoking my son.
Apparently the cashier can go hitting a three year old child but once a parent threatens to hit her she gets cowardly and cries. I told the manager to talk to the cashier right in front of the customers and he refused. He said he would talk to her privately. I told him I would call the police and that they would have her charged with assault. He said that he is sure that it was an accident because the cashier is not known to hit children and that perhaps my child was hit because she was running around around the carasel. I told the manager well the cashier knew that my daughter was a rambuntous year old. She should have been more careful looking out for a child. Even if it was an accident, which I doubt a sorry is not going to cut it. She should have at least offered my daughter a free toy or chocolate bar. I asked her that if I punched her in the face and later apolologized if would be okay and told her no one hits my child and she is lucky there are cameras or she would be carried out in a stretcher. Believe me if this were the case the court would side with me because I am just protecting my child from her abuse. Also before you go around asking why I don't hire a babysitter or put my child in daycare. My child was kicked out of preschool because the other teachers don't know how to deal with three year old kids. She was biting other children(who probably provoked it). She also bit a babysitter. When I asked why, the babysitter said she refused to take a nap. Well just because you don't want to deal with my daughter does not mean she has to take a nap. I pay you to deal with her. Then another time she bit another babysitter because the babysitter refused allow her to have another cupcake. Guess what ###. I paid for those cupcakes and you had no right denying her a third cupcake. Well in this case my daughter hit her and kicked her. Well guess what if you had given her the extra cupcake which she nicely asked for this would not have happened.
"if they were misbehaving I firmly told them no. "
In other words you yelled at them which is a big no to child discipline.
Next you admit to spanking them which is physical child abuse. Like this cashier you are a child beater. Just so you know I am taking your statement down to the police station contacting CPS with proof that you are physically and emotionally abusing your children. hopefully your ex wife gets custody of them so they don't have to be afraid of you. The only reason that your children listen to you is because they are afraid of you. that is not discipline.
"What if while your daughter was running around the aisles and got hit by a buggy or ran into something?"
Then I would sue the store for leaving things lying around where a child could run into them. If a customer or employee ran into her with a buggy I would sue the store or customer for injuring my child and not watching where she was going. Since people already knew that there was a three year old running around from aisle to aisle and between the washroom and back they should be more careful. She just has lots of energy and should not get hurt because of this. Accident or not that cashier knew my child was running around and should have been more careful and I will press assault charges against her. I have also reported you to the police for abusing your children. They can find your server and track you down and take action if needed, whether it is taking your children from home and giving them to your wife or putting them in foster care.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
You have no right accusing a cashier of hitting your child, and risk getting her fired
I really hope this person was a troll. I don't work at Walmart, but I do work in retail and I have to work checkouts too. I can tell you that uncontrollable/undisciplined children can be very annoying, but I am normally more frustrated with the parents then I am with the children. Small kids like that have to be conditioned to act respectful in public.
If the Original Poster is not a troll, then she is a very self-absorbed and dangerous person to cross paths with. Not only is she harming her children by denying them crucial social behavioral skills, but it also sounds as though she will stop at nothing to insure that her own sick sense of "justice" is carried out regardless of circumstance. Consider this: Lets assume you are right (which I think you are wrong here), and the cashier turned the carousel purposefully and intentionally caused your child to drop her piece of chicken. Does this really constitute calling the cashier a "Child Beater"? I mean, it sounds to me like the child was unharmed, and if anything at all was hit, it was the chicken, not the kid. In fact, the child was so unphased by the incident, that the whole thing would have escaped your watchful eye had it not been for the precious piece of chicken that laid ruined on the floor. If the cashier did this on purpose, then I might go as far as calling her a jerk, but to be fair I think we have all been a jerk at some point in time. You don't know what kind of mood she was in after standing there all day having to put up with an untold number of people just like yourself who have debilitatingly limited perspective on reality.
But what really burns me up is that you tried getting this person fired from her job. I'm not sure what part of the country you live in, but most places are still experiencing economic turmoil. Employees at Walmart are not payed a whole lot, and I'm sure this cashier, like most Americans today, is struggling from paycheck to paycheck just to make end's meet. When you lose your job due to a violation of company policy, most states will not allow you to draw unemployment, and most cashiers at Walmart are probably working at Walmart because there are not a lot of options left for employment. I'm not sure that job is at the top of anyone's list of desired careers. When you take it upon yourself to get someone fired just because on one occasion they rub you the wrong way it shows that you are so desperate to get the last laugh or that you are so grudgeful you are willing to DESTROY another human beings LIVELIHOOD.
Even if the cashier was having a ### day and decided to knock your kid's piece of chicken from her hand with the bagging carousel I do not believe this is something that warrants your actions. Maybe you have it lucky and don't have to work a difficult job and don't realize what working Americans have to deal with on a daily basis, especially when working with the public. That cashier might have been a single mother working at Walmart to provide for HER 3-year old. Maybe she was a college student working her way through school so she doesn't have to work at Walmart for the rest of her life. Or maybe she was just an average Jane, who needed that paycheck this week that you made an effort to deny her, to pay her rent this month so she isn't thrown out on the street.
By the way, if you tried to sue Walmart for having merchandise sitting in the floors of the isles you'd be laughed out of the courtroom. As long as there is room for a reasonable/normal person to operate a shopping cart then Walmart is at no liability. At one point during the trial, probably rather close to its beginning, the judge would ask you why a 3-year old was attempting to operate a shopping cart anyways. Its probably twice her height and therefor could not possibly operated safely in ANY circumstance. The judge might go on to remind you that shopping carts are not complimentary toys that Walmart offers to all children, and that Walmart is not a playground. THEN, if as a society as a whole, we are lucky, someone will report YOU to the Department of Children Services for being a negligent parent by allowing your 3-year old to operate a piece of machinery designed for an adult without supervision leading to the child sustaining an injury. It would indeed suck to get a taste of your own medicine, but I'll tell you one thing. If you travel through life leaving a trail of pissed off people in your wake, you will eventually get a taste of what its like to be on the business end of another person's wrathful vengeance.
OMG is this person for real. Lady (term is used loosely) . Do you have any idea how irritating it is when a child is climbing on things like a monkey and running around? I am ready to pull my hair out when I clock out of walmart at the end of my shift on most days. Also a grown person should not call another child a "###". But then it takes one to know one and YOU are the one that is abusing your children. God help them when they get older there gonna get there ### kicked. Are you raising them in the jungle with no social skills and no manners or are you guys just trashy. People this is the generation that's gonna run our country on day and we are in a big enough mess with who's running it now...
GODS HELP US PLEASE
Also your kids are probably gonna be in and out of the prison system through out there life. Some people should not be able to have children and be fixed right away.

Troll or not unfortunately there are parents like this who think their child can do no wrong. Who always make excuses for their child's behavior. Who blame someone else, other children, teachers, Scout leaders, for being "mean" to their child causing the child to act up.
The child is not too stupid to control herself. The child is not to blame here. She is only three years old. The child is not stupid. She is just being a three year old. However the mother needs to be a parent and control her child. It is the mother who is "stupid" and not in control. I mean if she made an effort to control her child that would be a different story. However she just lets her child do whatever she pleases hopefully it won't cause her daughter to get seriously injured or killed.
your child got in the way of someone trying to do his work. you have got to be the DUMBEST most IDIOTIC person to ever. Get your STUPID child under control, you ###.
you sound like the kind of person who spoils the crap out of her child and lets them get away with ###ing murder. heaven forbid this underpaid, poor sob accidently bump into your ADHD child. if your so damn terrified of your stupid kid getting hurt, then don't take her places, because she's obviously too stupid to control herself.
If you really felt someone put hands on your child, why didn't you call the police?
I call shenanigans.
Before you go saying I have no idea of how to deal with a rambitious three year old. I have triplets. They are ten now and I too had to deal with taking them shopping while they were bored. I was a single father at this time. If they were misbehaving I firmly told them no. If they did not listen the first time I told them that if I had to repeat my order they would get a spanking. Thankfully it did not come to that often where I had to spank them.
Yeah you posted the exact same complaint on pissedconsumer. The thing is you have to sometimes tell you child. "no" and "stop". You cannot let your children do what they want to do. You have to be firm with them and not allow them to run around the store. What if while your daughter was running around the aisles and got hit by a buggy or ran into something? You have to tell your daughter firmly to stop what she is doing and explain to her that she could get hurt.
gee I wonder why Walmart has a reputation for having white-trash idiot customers...
hmmm...can't figure it out.
