Some customers can be really rude and insensitive.

This man was working a regular shift at a small video game store.

A mother and her two children came in one day.

But one of the kids was clearly unwell and caused a disaster inside the store.

While he didn’t mind cleaning the child’s mess, he was disappointed at not getting an apology.

Check out the full story below to find out more.

Kids at the video game store

I work in a small video game store.

There was a family of three that came in last night (mom, two kids).

One of the kids was shopping.

The other was sick to his stomach.

This man didn’t get any apology from the mother.

He walked around the store, puked at least 8 different times all over the floor.

And the mom did not even bat an eyelash.

After puke #8, she took him out of the store to put him into the car.

Then, she came back in to shop with the other kid.

She did not apologize.

He cleaned up the store for 3 hours.

We had to close the entire store for a few hours while we cleaned up the nastiest little kid’s vomit in the world.

Shoutout to parents: I don’t really care if your kid is sick, though I prefer that he isn’t.

But if I’m going to spend three hours of my life cleaning up his bodily fluids, the least you can do is act like you’re sorry about it.

A little courtesy goes a long way, especially when others are left to deal with the consequences.
