I work in a grocery store, in the refrigerated/frozen section. This means I spend a fair amount of time in an industrial refrigerator, and let me tell you: those motherfuckers are LOUD. Four industrial sized refrigeration units going constantly, and the cooler shares a wall with the freezer, and THOSE machines are even louder. It's loud enough that the store-wide intercom system has a special unit inside the cooler just so that whoever's in there can hear, and a lot of the time it's still hard to make out what someone's saying.
And yet I can hear a screaming child on the far end of the store. Ladies and gentlemen, I shit you not. It is easier to hear the entitled whiny shrieking of whatever sugar hyped goblin is being trundled through the store than it is the damn PA system.
Parents, let me tell you a little something: you are doing no one any favors by letting this happen. If you let your kid scream like a tornado siren you are not only making yourself look like a shitty parent (which, at that point, you are) but you're doing your kid a disservice by not disciplining them.
My mom never spanked me that I can remember, but you can bet your ass I NEVER would've gone on wailing like these little banshees do once she laid down the law. Even when I was a goblin myself I knew better than that. Important Things were on the line. Things like dessert, playtime, even POWER RANGERS. There wasn't any need for physical punishment, the knowledge that she could keep me from wathching Teenagers With Attitudes fighting the forces of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zed was enough to keep me in line.
If your child is old enough to understand the words 'be quiet' there is no excuse for letting them disrupt the general public. If you have to, get them the fuck out of the store. It is the parents who let their spawn run wild that push people who are on the fence about being Childfree firmly into our camp, and people who are already Childfree straight into frothing rage.
TL;DR: Kids at work are loud as fuck and the whiny entitled parents (the same parents who raised the millenials they LOVE to complain about so much, wonder if there's a connection there /sarcasm) do nothing about it because 'THAT'S HOW KIDS AAAARRRREEE' and 'THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DOOOOOO'. Bullshit.
