How would you have reacted?

I took dd and ds to the grocery store (I had been putting if off because it's hard by myself but I decided to go anyway) well dd without a fail starts getting antsy as soon as we get to the registers every time! Lol. Well I had some snacks I let her pick out and handed them to her to distract her. The cashier (old lady) was scanning everything. I told dd the nice lady needed to scan the snack and then I'd give it right back to her. She was fine up until I handed the snack to the lady. She started screaming. Throwing a tantrum and everything. It lasted about 2 seconds until I handed her the snack back. The lady looks at me and says "well you obviously starve that child" wtf!? She's a toddler! I explained to dd the lady needed to scan it real quick so we could pay for it. She's only 22months and still has a hard time understanding. I look at the lady and I'm like "uh no it's because she's a toddler and I took the snack from her while she was playing with it" the lady replied "that poor child looks starved" I just said have a good day and walked away. I started crying, my dd is tall and thin. She is healthy though. The doctors aren't concerned and she eats all the time. It made me feel like I was a failure. I didn't know what to say to her without breaking down. My ppd is still bad at times so this really triggered me. What would you have done in that situation?

I would have just made a joke. Or said "oh yeah she never eats!"

If the lady seemed like she was more joking then I would've joked too but she was genuinely being so mean. She acted like I was abusing/neglecting my child.

I probably would've asked for her to get her manager immediately! And then proceed to tell the manager how disrespectful there employee is, very loudly

Omg, I swear old people think that's the funniest joke ever. I can't even tell you how many times people have said that to me. ? My own sister has even said something similar (she was joking as well), now I just play along with it. I'll usually say something like "They can't be THAT hungry, I fed them yesterday morning." Or "is the water not filling them enough?"

I would have said something along the lines of not asking for her uneducated opinion and maybe if you're such an expert in child nutrition why exactly are you scanning my groceries for minimum wage? ?

I would have complained to the manager but I also would have told the lady she has no idea what she's talking about

Edit you can still make a complaint

I found the easiest thing to do with crusty people is just laugh I'm talking a deep belly laugh so they know their opinion is irrelevant and not going to affect you. Some people are just bitter and want to make other ppl feel less than smart and other ppl think their opinion must be heard and acknowledged... either way best thing is to ignore or laugh it off ? (even if you're so pissed your eyes get teary!) lol

Likely would have told her to f*** off. I'm not the kindest person when someone insults me.

Her: Obviously that child is starved.

Me: Obviously you're an idiot. (Stare)

I don't even remember her name. I could I'd complain.

I love the little old ladies who gawk over dd. It's so cute. A lot of them talk about their grandchildren living far away and missing them. And interacting with dd makes them happy. Dd also screams HI to EVERY single person we walk past haha.

I would have prob said, "you could stand to give up a few snacks"... whether she needed to or not. But that's because I immediately resort to a$$hole mode when people are douche bags.

I don't like to judge. I don't know if it's a medical issue or not but she was heavy set.

I would have spoken to management and reported her or asked her to call them to the till. Since its over I would call the stores corporate and let them know. Thats rude, disrespectful, and uncalled for. As someone who's worked customer service/sales for over 10years I would have given her a write up and warned her if it happens again shes gone.

You can still complain ... at the top of your receipt is a 4 digit number that identifies which cashier checked you out specifically , I know because I use to work there .
