And the reasons don't matter. What matters is, if somehow some stranger had managed to grab my daughter that day, I would still have her now thanks to those employees.

And if we all voice our approval of these policies, and frequent stores that have them, maybe more will follow suit. I don't expect store employees to watch my kids, but taking notice the way they would with groups of teenagers or potential shoplifters would be nice. Exactly, Michele.

I just didn't have anything to blog about yesterday and it reminded me. <br/><br/>Good for you, Robyn! I went to a Barnes & Noble a couple of years ago and a Mom had done that, dumped her kid in the children's section while she wandered the rest of the store. And of course the kid started bugging Princess, and I got so mad because, why is it my job now to watch that woman's kid? I think negative things are awesome too, Paca.

It is cool, and I don't know why they don't publicize it at all. I guess they don't want people thinking they can ignore their kids at Office Depot, huh. :-)<br/><br/>I totally agree, Serena Joy. As Michele says lower down, I know there are some (total IDIOT) parents out there who would have been pissed off for the inconvenience, but I--and Godfather, who really was inconvenienced--thought it was great and thanked them all profusely. bernard and lbl, I know!

I totally agree, Serena Joy. As Michele says lower down, I know there are some (total IDIOT) parents out there who would have been pissed off for the inconvenience, but I–and Godfather, who really was inconvenienced–thought it was great and thanked them all profusely.

We were incredibly happy about it and made a point to tell corporate about it. I know some parents who just would have thrown a fit about the inconvience.

I was stunned and appalled at the number of parents who dropped tiny children off to 'look at the toys' while Mommy and Daddy went to J.C. Penney. I always called mall security; I didn't care one bit if the parents were embarrassed. How fabulous.
