Went to walgreens today to grab a few last minute items for school. Andy was a little crabby, so while we were in the checkout line, Anthony got one of those musical cards for him to play with. He loves those! Anthony was opening them and listening too. He wasnt being obnoxious, wasnt jumping around, wasnt ripping the card or peeing on it.
The manager walked over, grabbed it out of Anthony's hands and placed it back in the card holder and walked away. I just stood there staring at him for a minute and I said,
"He can't listen to those?"
"Not really. I'd have to sent them back because the battery would die."
"Well, maybe next time you can bring it to my attention instead of grabbing it from his hands."
"I didnt mean anything by it."
"No? Obviously you did. You wouldnt have grabbed it out of the hands of an adult!"
He didnt have anything to say about that. I was so fumed. It was like because Anthony is a kid and wont say anything or stand up for himself that this guy thinks he can get away with treating him like that. Then people wonder why kids have no respect for adults. All he had to do was say, "Excuse me, son, but it's best if you dont play with those because the battery will die." I'm sure Anthony would have been glad to put it back, and if not, I could have inforced it WITHOUT the man grabbing it from his hands. That was just WRONG! Boycotting Walgreens!!!! BOOOOOO!!!!!
