Please do not feed the howler monkeys.
Shopping trips to Wal-Mart do not necessitate packing a "snacky-poo" for your child. Anything other than a bottle for an obviously newborn infant is just creating bad habits that someone else is going to have to break at a future point in time.
Coming to Wal-Mart should not be so tiring for a child to have the Service Desk be the home of a Gerber Graduates yummy yams feeding. If it is your child's meal time, you need to be at home - not returning merchandise.
If they shriek like banshees for food, you have several problems.
First, you need to smack them to make them lower their voices in public. Yelling is not an acceptable way to communicate. No one is dying or in imminent danger of achieving that state. Shut up and stay shut up.
Next, you need to create regular meal times and stick to that.
Finally, you do not need to be running around with small children at 10 p.m. on a Sunday night. Go home. Dogs and retail slaves with sensitive ears will thank you.

obviously you don't have children, therefore, don't have the experience to comment on child rearing. While i agree some people are not good parents, lumping us all together seems a bit extreme. i enjoy your "behind the counter" posts and think you should stick to those. these seem below you.
Sometimes it can be more responsible for a parent to bring food along and feed their kid. Some kids can go unexpectedly into a low-blood-sugar induced meltdown, because hypoglycemia can cause irritability and monster-like behavior. Feeding your kid at that point is the responsible thing to do.
No arguments on the 10PM thing though.
shopping at wal-mart for an adult is so fucking tiring that you need a snack. and by snack i mean copious quantities of alcohol. by all means, feed your children in the store if it will keep them happy.
I love it. Finally some one has the nerve to call people on their terrible parenting skills. Everyone wants to think that their crumb muncher is the sweetest most bestest cutest thing in the whole world. Guess what? 99.9999% of the time that is completely untrue. I too am sick of other people's children running free in the grocery store, getting under MY feet while I'm trying to shop, screaming when they don't get what they want, and generally being a nuisance. If you can't reign in your little beasts, leave them at home so the rest of us don't have to deal with them. Just because YOU chose to have children doesn't mean I have to suffer.
Smack them to make them lower their voices in public? Yeah dumbshit, I'm sure that'll work.
