"Mommy, can I buy a Snickers?" No honey, we only have enough for MY CIGARETTES HAHA!

[IcED]

This is NOT my experience! I quoted this from someone in another forum.

I work at a small convince store, (during weekends only)we sell candies, pops, water, chips, gum, cigarettes, etc. It's a typical small convince store.

The problem isn't the store, its not the products within the store. It's the customers that pisses me off.


I see this often, a parent coming to the store with their child/children. The kid is always between 5-12. When they try to pick a snack, their parents tells them they can't buy it because they don't have enough money.

That's cool right? It can't be helped, they don't have enough money. But what pisses me off is that they buy f***ing cigarettes for themselves which ranges between $ 7.00-12.00 CND. Yet they tell their child they can't buy a chocolate bar that costs $1.25...

Okay, what the ****. Just don't buy the fucking cigarette and buy your son/daughter a candy once in a while. I know you are living in a dump but that doesn't mean you have to treat your child like a dump. ****'s sake, no wonder these kids are happy as **** when I give them a candy once in awhile out of my hourly wage.

I find this is another reason why smoking isn't good.
