A stranger "disciplining" a child isn't disciplining, it mine as well be attacking. The kid doesn't see it the way adults do. When I was a kid, and I was a tough red necked kid mind you, I had been hit before, but my baseball coach hit me over the head with my a glove for messing up some play. It didn't really hurt but I broke down into tears.
If I was at a store and had a kid as soon as he said "If you don't shut the baby up, I will shut her up for you." I would have jumped him. Actually I probably would have turned my kid around, broken his knee and walked out the store.
