Shopping any time of year can either be fun or a chore. I try to make it fun and not lose my patience too much. I have been on both sides of the retail feeding chain so I know. Yesterday was a chore.
I took the two ladies shopping in a major boxstore. Now both my ladies are fine shopping if the stores are relatively quiet or people are just being nice to each other. If the latter is not being met then things can get a little un-nerving for them.
I try and stay up with Mom or at least in phone contact in case she needs something off the top or bottom of the shelve. The granddaughter usually hangs with me or stays in phone contact. We were one phone down yesterday so I handed my phone to Mom....then I lost eye sight with the granddaughter.
The store wasn't so much busy as it was full of some really rude people. By the time the granddaughter had caught back up with me she was ready to pull her hair out and/or scream. She had had enough!!!
Poor Mom had enough too. A person can only take so much shoving and pushing. Why do people have to be so rude mainly when a poor little old lady is just trying to finish her Christmas shopping........
