Shops and SupermarketsI used to work in a supermarket where the girl on the deli counter cut off the top of her finger in the meat slicer, but was made to finish her shift before going to hospital. You can now pay £100 to shoot zombies in the store's empty shell, haunted by poor dead nine-finger deli girl. Tell us your tales of the old retail experience, from either side of the counter

Short answer - we can't all afford an au pair.My sprogs mostly past that stage now but we found that an agreement before shopping of no "I wants" or inappropriate behavior would usually elicit a calm, peaceful trip and garner said bairn with a small treat at the end (usually some small crafty type thing - no food) as a reward worked fairly effectively.
Not to say we didn't have our moments but a quick explanation that this would not get her anywhere & prompt ignoral got the point across.
Doesn't stop me lying on the floor, screaming & having a "breakdance" fit when the missus won't let me get a spanky, whizz-bang new drill at the local hardware store.
