You walk into a Book Store and your 5 year old lets go of your hand and wonders on his own. For a minute, you're unable to locate the your child so you ask the cashier to please keep an eye open at the door to make sure that a child doesn't walk out as you (parent) search the store for your son and the cashier replies. I'm not a security gaurd. To find out later that the cashier was the supervisor. Fu*king bitch. Excuse my language. I just started thinking of it again.
No. You acted irresponsibly as a parent. The cashier is NOT a security guard. You need to ask another shop personal to help you.
I wouldn't be pissed off because it couldn't happen to me.
PS: Not looking to pick up a fight, you asked an honest question, I answered what do I think of the situation.

Most book stores the "child's section" is in the back. And if you know how most aisles are set up it is easy to lose site for a brief minute.
I am a TERRIFIC parent. I have lost site of my kid for that split.... scary as hell second.
That Worker was a Piece of shit. She should NOT have watched the door... She should have Said I will get someone to watch the door, and I will help you find your child.

That's what I'm talking about. Your chlid is 5. Maybe you should either talk to him/her about not wondering off or just keeping him close. It's all a good idea, and it wouldn't let you blame a shop clerk if he(or she) wonders out of the store next time. Have a good night. Already sorry I posted here.
My wife is often teased by others for being so overprotective of her kids.
Once at a store, she was with my 3 year old daughter who "disappeared" in the blink of an eye. For what seemed like an hour to my wife but was probably less than a minute, she AND two store reps looked for her.... she was "hiding" in the middle of a clothes rack.
I was at a picnic when a friends daughter disappeared. We searched the house, the bottom of the pool, and were about to call 9-1-1. She was sitting in a hatchback playing with a doll.
Anybody that has kids has had that brief moment.

klowinns - you are not gonna like this - but i 100% AGREE with Zee
YOU are responsible for YOUR kid - NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU
please don't ask me to look after him (if i work there) - because i have a job to do and if i am looking after YOUR kid i can't do my job - and if i can't do my job i will get fired - and THEN what would your reaction be? would you help me find a new job? DOUBT IT! also - what happens if someone else also asks me to look after their kid - now i am looking after 2 kids and WHEN they go in opposite directions then what am i supposed to do? no matter which kid i go after i would get yelled at by the other parent for not looking after their kid - once again - something that is NOT my job but rather THEIR job
Sorry - but it is YOUR kid that means looking after him is YOUR job not mine and the ONLY one you should be mad at is..........YOU!

I see it this way. It could happen to anyone. How would of she liked it if it was her child, or even yourself. You can't do wrong by giving a helping hand. In fact, I spoke to the owner and he was shocked at the way his supervisor acted. It's hard for me to believe that an owner of a store is going to fire someone for giving a helping hand (helping a child). I disagree with you 100%.
I see it here all the time. People play with bad books and then ask for help and many times I've read that the Mod's (Wil) has helped. Have (he) they done wrong for helping? NO
In addition. I never asked her to feed, change or even take care of my child. I asked her to keep an eye open incase a child goes out the door.
I forgot, upon speaking to the owner, the conclusion was that she didn't have kids. That shows that any parent with their head on straight would give a helping hand. Many here would agree if they have kids.

From someone on the outside and seeing both sides of this story.
BOTH parties are Wrong.
#1 People with children out in the public should take better care of those little ones as they love to go exploreing, and get into Everything. Parents are the ones that are responsible for their own children, or should be. I know what you are going to say, Well this happened in a Blink of an eye.
But you should not let that happen. Keep hold of the little ones hand or soemthing so this doenst happen, again.
#2 The clerk should have said "By ALL means i will not let the little one get out of THIS store. If i had of been the clerk, thats what ii would have said!
