I am a cashier at a large retailer and we go through the issue of unruly, destructive, undisciplined children raging through the store almost daily. Screaming fits, throwing merchandise, breaking merchandise, you name it. The parents do nothing and the rest of the public pays for the destruction. They are afraid to do anything and we cannot do anything either. We just clean up the mess and raise the prices.
