'You break it, you buy it': Staff member demands parents pay for damaged items at local pet shop after son ruins store

You are accountable for your child. Stated simply, you will be liable for the cost of replacing any products that your child breaks while you are shopping. Given this perspective, what would you do, therefore, if two well-to-do parents allowed their child to run wild and then declined to pay for the hundreds of dollars in damages?

The story below is an account of a frustrated pet store employee. The original poster (OP) worked at the pet store for an extended period of time. Everything went well at first because the majority of consumers complied with the store's rules and regulations and exercised caution when around the products and pets. However, things quickly got out of hand when a pretentious family entered the store and refused to calm down their hyperactive toddler. In just one hour, the toddler had accrued an outrageous cost that the reluctant parents would eventually have to pay.

Having said that, make sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning the specifics of what happened! In addition, when all is said and done, remember to read the story of the marathon worker who handles the runner who tries to access staff property!
