A small vent about the supermarket

So I know that you are in it to make money and all that shizzle.

But why must you display matchbox cars on EVERY AISLE at the exact eyeline of a 2 year old sitting in a shopping cart? WHY WHY WHY??? Do you want your other shoppers experience to be as miserable as mine is when my two and a half year old starts SCREAMING about how he wants DatCarDere??? Do you???

So Mr Supermarket Manager...next time you see me, I will be dropping my screaming child outside of your office until you take ALL matchbox cars off of the displays...especially on the meat aisles. Where is the tie in there???

I went throught the same exact thing today...only it was an Elmo balloon instead of matchbox cars

Re: A small vent about the supermarket

I was in a Stop n Shop that just opened by me, all 3 kids... and of course there is a toy section. Someone in a dress shirt and pants was fixing something on the shelf (I am assuming a Stop and Shop higher up, I later saw him packing groceries so he did work there in some capacity) was there when I said "thank goodness they have toys in a GROCERY store just for this reason" as all 3 kids proceeded to start asking for toys. The guy got the eye roll from me. If I want toys there is Toys R Us I feel your pain!

Re: A small vent about the supermarket

This is yet another reason why I shop mostly at Trader Joe's... only toy are the free balloons.

Of course, I know this is no help to you Racheeee
