Hot take: it might be wrong but it has to be said.

So I’m a cashier & I had this mom with her kids come up & I was checking them out, as I was checking them out one of the children (she was like 12 or 13) told me over three times as they kept adding stuff to the counter that did I get this & did I get that, which I replied “yes I already got all that”, then this child goes “okay I didn’t ask for an attitude”, & I asked her to repeat what she said because I didn’t hear or think she said anything like that & she repeated it, & the mom was right there didn’t say anything to her child so I did, I told her she better watch how she talks to adults. Then they all walked off. The mom didn’t say shit to her child. Then the mom called back saying I shouldn’t have told her child anything & she knows how to discipline her child, which I just told her her daughter needs to watch how she talks to adults, (I didn’t say this) but if you don’t check your child, I know damn well I will. If she wants to talk match the same energy as an adult, then I will respond back idgaf. Maybe, also if you knew how to “ discipline your child” she wouldn’t even think to disrespect adults like that & I wouldn’t I have to do it for you. I know damn well when I was a child I didn’t even think of disrespecting adults like that, but you know in this day & age parents let their children do anything. But it’s like y’all have to watch who your children are talking to because people are crazy out here, & they don’t gaf. Some of them will even run fades with the Mom just because your child is trying to act grown mouthing off to a grown ass adult. I know damn well I would’ve ran that Mom’s fade if she wasn’t such a warrior behind the phone when she could’ve just said all that to my face if she really had a problem because I can’t fight a child but I sure can tell them to go get they momma.
