What is or isn't appropriate in public has certainly changed these last few years. People consistently astound me.
And while something like this has certainly happened before. And while (based off of things my parents told me, and off of Mad Men) scolding children other than your own was the norm sometime around 1960s, it sure isn't the norm now.
I've worked part-time in retail for a few years now. I've also worked as a young children skating instructor. You learn to drown out the screams based on your work. When I was a coach, the objective was to get the kid to stop asap.
While working in retail, the objective is to get the woman/parent/guardian with the child out of the store asap.
Hollering kids in a store gets irritating fast. And seeing as we sell crystal and glass,well, we'd rather not see it shatter before its sold. :/
