I worked in a cafe where our display was also had a register above it, so it was a very in your face kind of experience. So I'm standing behind the register, while a mother and her three kids are browsing the display in front of me. I felt bad for her at first and almost threw in a free coffee, until not even 5 minutes later I see her kids licking the glass display, shoving their fingers into the vents and I hear them bickering about trying to pry it open. I stare expectantly at the mother, thinking she'll say something when the vents make an audible clank to the ground. Nope. She just finally decides on her order, all the while the kids are now dangling onto the counter, screaming about muffins and interrupting me repeatedly with cries of wanting these damn muffins. The whole ordeal went on for about 15 minutes, early in the morning.
I understand not wanting to deal with your children, but holy fuck, don't make poor cashiers have to deal with their unbelievable behavior, too.

In other words "out of my control." Not every toddler on earth is a 24-7 hellion... Some people are just bad parents.
