I have a story about something that happened at work a few weeks ago. I work at a dog boutique/grooming salon. I was checking out a customer that was picking up her two schnauzers that were being groomed. As she was leaving there was a mom and her three children (all pretty young - like probably 4-7 years old) walking down the sidewalk. This family lives across and down the street in government housing and were dirty looking and unkept. Anyway, so the customer was walking to her car with her two dogs and the three children just MOB the dogs...just all over them. The customer can barely get to her car. I was watching from inside and of course the lazy mom wasn't doing a thing about her kids. I thought to myself that these were the typical people that piss me off because they don't control their kids. So the customer gets in her car and drives off and I guess the family walks down to Blockbuster. Later on I see them walk back across the street to their house. Well like 30 minutes pass and my boss comes up to the front and a customer and her Pom come in to shop. I go in the back to eat lunch. I then see this family come back in the store. The kids just go crazy running after our dogs in the store (my boss's two yorkies in a stroller, the customer's pom, my Lacy, and another employee's chihuahua (she had just taken her outside to potty and she will bite so she's always kept in the back). I walked quickly back up to the front, grabbed Lacy, and took her in the back with me. I wasn't going to let some dumb kids torture my dog. Of course my boss told the kids that they should never run up to a dog and should always ask before petting. Didn't matter - the kids were wild and out of control. Well, the reason the family came back over and into the store was because one of the schnauzers that was leaving earlier had scratched one of the kid's stomach (not even a bad scratch). The mom wanted to know whos dogs they were so she could do something about it. Um yeah...we are actually going to give her the name of a customer...especially when she let her kids just run up to the dogs like that...and all the dogs did were jump up on them. And here the kids were in our store acting like wild things...all while the mom isn't doing a thing to stop them. That just made me so angry!
