My most favorite sign anywhere showed up at an independent bookstore in San Francisco in the 1990s: Any child found unattended will be given an espresso and a free puppy.

I was a parent who always taught my girls how to behave in public. With that being said, I applaud the store for putting up the sign. No parents should allow their children to run around wild and think it's alright to do so.

I saw a good one at my local model railway exhibition a few years ago - "Unattended children will be dismantled into their component parts and sold as scrap."

Good for the store owner. Pretty sure their employees are eternally grateful. Hope they post a guard at the doors.

Understand completely!

I visited a bookstore that had a children's section with a little fenced-off play area. They told me that parents actually left their kids there and went shopping in other stores! I asked what they did. They call the police and report an abandoned child, and they come and pick them up. ??!!?!?!

Once again, a situation where the actions of a few, punishes others.

This us a bit rude. If you see kids misbehaving tell the parents to leave. Saying kids not welcome seems very mean spirited.

Okay, this legitimately pissed me off.

But what if I was doing it to disappoint my mother?

Oh, I LOVE this! Would be illegal here in NL, privacy b******t and all :(

I think some people would steal anything that is not tied down. Those employees worked hard for those tips.

Yes. That's assault.

Please, do not get a cat. Cats deserve decent people, too.

and those inconsiderate a******s ruin it for the decent people who would love to use the games.

This one is actually quite funny. Who does this thinking no one will notice?

Looks like it was an Australian cafe supported by the owners farm. Crazy activist stole their goats in 2018 and even after tons of abuse, only got $1 fine. https://www.farmonline.com.au/story/6008846/you-have-won-gippy-goat-cafe-closes-down-following-activist-attacks/

This is beyond rude

The people who staff these stores likely have their own kids to pick up after, let alone tidying this kind of mess repeatedly. Have some respect people!

Ergo, I never buy any contained food product that hasn't got a protective seal.

This is pretty funny.

Whoever submitted this... Print her post up and bring it to local police station. Also, give a copy of it (with her name and picture) to all the local dollar stores so they can ban her from their stores.

I caught a guy in a store just like this who dropped bulk foods onto the ground and then put them back in the bin. I called him out, nicely. He was in his 50's, well put together and honestly looked ashamed. I hope he learned his lesson.

He need to be comfy while working on his screenplay. It's about a hipster with smelly feet and a man bun who doesn't give a s**t about others.

I don't understand how people can think this is ok!

"but the police said that they can't prove it was pee" ... this is not true. They can easily prove it if they try. Sounds like they just didn't want the paperwork.

I don't understand how people can behave like that. I used to work at h&m and Zara a few years ago and it drove me crazy how it looked even 10 min after I put everything back in place.

Soooo notlegal

I would never want that kind of Karma.

Why? I fail to comprehend this. Who hurt them?

I hate people that think they’re clever, but they are just jerks.

This...doesn't seem legal.

Didn’t think this was legal. At the very least, incredibly awkward.

So mean

All of that is now contaminated and has to be thrown away. Humans can be such garbage.

As if the tip would be a big difference, like 1,5 or 2$. Don't use your baby for an excuse.

Idiot

She looks like a follower of nurgle.

Looks pretty normal to me *shrug* people are very inventive when it's about not giving tips.

Gross!!!

The P.S. says it all, really

They wanted to test if it's really self-cleaning... which obviously it isn't :D
