The worst was probably the 8th day of a 9 day straight work week. Wal-Mart has crazy scheduling for part-timers at least this Wal-Mart does. I was working second until midnight and then coming in the next morning at 7, or something like that for 9 days straight. I was exhausted, and then this lady comes in she has her baby in her buggy. Not the upper section, but where you put the groceries. I'm not really cognitave, so I figure she got the groceries in the buggy with the baby like that I can put them back. I try to put a water melon behind the carrier, and it won't fit. She's just watching me, I put it beside the carrier and the baby starts to cry. She picks up the watermelon, gives me a look of horror and then takes the baby carriage out of the buggy. I finish ringing her up and put her groceries in the buggy the way they should have been. She pays for it and walks off as if the devil himself were on her heels. She then calls my manager to say I had put the watermelon on top of her babies head. I had no idea if I did or didn't, she never said a word and I couldn't see the kid. My manager asks me questions like where was the baby, did she ask for a manager, did she say anything to you, and then has me point out what kind of carriage it was. It was one that could be detached from a stroller, because it lay flat, not like a normal carrier at all.
He asks me what I should have done, and I tell him I should have asked her to move the kid. He asked me what I also could have done, finally it dawned on me I could have gotten her another buggy. He says that's right you should have, at this point I was robot woman it took me a long time to think, period. Let alone think for a customer. I still wonder if I hurt the kid, I hope I didn't. I love kids. Kids are blank slates that you can fill with a love of figuring things out or prejudice and ignorance the choice is up to them. As for the lady, I still wonder where was the stroller, why she never said a word, or why she didn't pick the carrier up out of the buggy in the first place, so the kid wouldn't get hurt.
