Be nice to the clerks

[tynstar]

One of the clerks at a local game store that I talk to a lot gave me around 30 boxes and instructions for SMS, NES, Genesis, SNES, and N64 the other day. Today he gave me a 2600 JR.

I then bought some of the games at the store to fill the boxes he gave me.

I was at the local Gamestop recently here in Atlanta, and I felt SO SORRY for the poor cleck. Some fuly-grown, adult man came in with his two year old toddler. The child ran around like a crazy animal, making that high-pitched and extremely annoying scream that only children who cannot talk yet can make. The asshole of a father was completely oblivious to his crazy child, as well as the looks of pain from the other shoppers. The child eventually knocked down a large cardboard standee of Mario Sunshine and proceeded to crawl all over it while the jerkoff father looked on complacently. The clerk finally told Mister Mon to get his child off the standee.

It wasn't the kid's fault... it was the father's fault. NO HOME TRAINING. I see it more and more all the time. Had I acted that way as I child, I would have been dragged to the bathroom and spanked. It all starts at home, and today's nightmarish children are tomorrow's nightmareish adults.

^ .....has an excellent point. Seriously, my Mom's a pre-school teacher, and also an early childhood ed. professor at the nearby college. You wouldn't believe the shit she has to put up with from her three and four year olds who aren't disciplined at all. Some aren't even...."housebroken". They, of course, get kicked out of the program until they are correctly, er....."trained".
