Kids

Happy Wednesday! I was stuck on what to write about today, but since I won't be working tomorrow (I'm going to Disneyland!), I thought I'd write about kids. More specifically, I have stories about some odd parents that found it ok to bring their kids into a sex shop. Normally, I understand that mommys' have limited "me-time" with a newborn, so when they come in with an infant asleep on their shoulder, I let it slide. However, these kids were closer to an age where boob sucking takes on a whole new reason than nutrition.

• The first time I encountered this issue was the most uncomfortable for me. I didn't know what the policy on children was, but I knew it was awkward. Because I was unsure about policies on turning customers away, I allowed a young married couple with a 3 year old come in to the store to find the perfect toy for them. At first the little boy was asleep, but soon enough he was awake, draped over his dad's shoulder while his mother chose the perfect rabbit vibrator. Once the child woke up I thought the parents would hurry their shopping up so they could leave without him seeing anything. Nope. They shopped for a good 20 minutes more. They came for a rabbit and a rabbit was what they were going to get, dammit.
• Another incident I inexplicably let slide was a couple months after that. Three women came in while they waited to be seated at the restaurant next door. They came in with two babies around 1-2 years old, two 3-4 year old toddlers, and a 7 year old boy. These kids were all walking around playing and giggling at all the "funny toys". Eventually, once they all went into the toy room, I had to kick them out. I wasn't about to have some kids play sword fight with dual-headed dildos.
• More recently, after I was promoted to manager and well-aware of our NO-minor policy, I was very keen about informing my employees about being strict about it as well. Now this didn't happen to me, I was told this by one of my girls. Apparently a very attractive woman came in with her husband and five year old daughter to look for some new toys. After my employee informed her of our policy, the lovely customer proceeded to let my employee know that she was a porn actress and that her daughter had seen a lot worse than what this store had to offer. "Even so", as either Ariana or Tatiana put it, she was still going to have to leave. The actress left, but not without letting us know what she thought about our policy. I guess you can't win them all.

So please mommys and daddys, I really do understand that you need time to yourselves to rekindle that love; I would love to help you find the remedy for any lack of sex, but please, leave the kids at home.
