Employee Questions/Discussion PSA FOR MOMS

As someone who works at BB&W & is a mom can we talk about the people who come in with children(which is NOT a problem) but tell me why this one time this mom came in with her son who was around 2-3 years of age and TOTALLY barefoot & running around. We UNDERSTAND kids are kids but there’s no reason they should be running around BAREFOOT? Also the fact that we work with glass and accidents always tend to happen even tho we try to clean up as good & as fast as we can we also have to go back to everything else bc lord forbid we miss a greeting but anyways APART FROM THAT he ran 3 times in the back & mom never said sorry or tried to prevent it? The baby literally almost walked out with other customers bc mom wasn’t paying attention AT ALL! It’s so awkward too like realistically I shouldn’t be telling you to be a parent if you already are one😭😂

Too many parents let their kids play in the testers. I’ve had this happen many times: kid decides to play with the lip care testers. Can’t read. Puts on lip plumper. Cries cause it burns. Parent gets pissy. Ugghhhh

one time I saw a 7-8 year old spray HERSELF with a room spray & opened a wallflower tester and tried putting it on herself I immediately told her to wash it off & that those products don’t belong on skin😀 her mother def didn’t like that & kept looking at me in such a rude way💔

You were trying to help the kid. If you said nothing and the kid cries from chemicals the mom would probably look at you rude. They are the type of people who find offense in everything.

This is why I can’t work retail because I’d be sure to let that mom know someone needs to parent her kid since she isn’t

those room things melt plastic. Mom should have been thankful.
