Tesco Hate Parents
Why? You ask. Well, they lull you into a false sense of security and make you think they are on your side. The whole free portion of fruit for kids thing. Lovely idea but.....They make kids think that they can eat whilst going round every shop which we know is not the case. This is just the start of the things Tesco does to secretly hate parents.
The bloody car trolley! If you've not been before they have a trolley with a car attached. It's the longest thing ever and heavier than a real car. Honestly, I swear it is!
When Mikey gets wind of this is where we are going he instantly decides his job now is to constantly bang on about this trolley. No amount of explaining that it might not be there and it may be in use can prepare this boy for the complete heartbreak he feels when it's not there. Mikey melt downs over a trolley.
Inside we are having a fight over would it be better to steer this beast around or hope it's not there and deal with the melt down? The worst thing is when it's parked outside right by the parent and child bays. He spots it a mile off. Thank you inconsiderate mother f***in parent who just left it there. Why didn't you ditch it in a bush? Oh, yeah no bush long enough!
I mean it's terrible to get around corners and people give u death stairs. I give them a look back as if to say you really think I'm happy about this either?!? To be honest it's mostly Phil who drives/pushes it. I try and walk off and pretend I'm not with the aisle hogging beast of a trolley.
It gets worse! They think they are doing you a favour by putting those money thieving children's rides out the. They are so kind to put them the other side of the building to the parent and child bays. Oh no because you have so little parent and child bays! Those times we've had to park in a normal space and we have to walk past them. You are not doing us any favours!
"No you can't ride Bob builder and no you can't be a rubbish man". He can't remember to use the bloody loo but he remembers where those f***in machines are without fail.
I just want to get home but we are hanging around with him just playing in a pretend bin lorry. If you are lucky and find a moving one then hell yeah! Get that freebie pumpkin! "you jump on", "Now don't say I don't give you anything".
Awww it's all over. Aren't I kind letting you have a go? Now dragging him away from both the machine and the car trolley has added about 20 minutes to my shopping trip that I didn't really want.
I know why you do it Tesco. You want to play with my emotions. Channel in on emotional eating and make me go back in for Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Well ha, I'm not letting you win. Next time I will just buy the Krispy Kremes before the tantrums so it looks like I bought them because I wanted them and not because of you.
One up on Tesco. But I mean really Tesco are you with us parents or against us? Just give a break to this Mum In A Mann's World.
