Mum Samantha Mary had a bad experience in Tesco recently when she allowed her ill son Jack to eat a pouch of baby food while they were shopping. She was taken aback by the response from the checkout worker when she came to pay for the food that Jack had already eaten.
The mum recalled how she had explained the situation to the checkout worker who was scanning her items, before handing over the pouches that had been eaten so they could still be paid for. However, the worker gave her a ‘disgusted look’ and threw them in the bin. She had to quickly ask the woman to fish them out of the bin.
Samantha said that the worker had not said anything to her other than the ‘awful looks’. At this point, she was getting more and more cross and so she confronted the Tesco worker. When the worker expressed her opinion on what she thought was right, the young mum said she was pushed to her ‘mum button’ and had to explain the situation.
The mum ended up in tears and the store worker gave her a ‘half apology’. She later shared her story on TikTok, but the responses from people were not as sympathetic as she was expecting. Despite this, the supermarket has confirmed that she did ‘nothing wrong’.
It’s clear that Samantha was deeply affected by the judgement she experienced in Tesco. It’s important to remember that as parents, it’s our responsibility to make sure our children are fed and healthy. People should think twice before they judge a parent’s decisions and it’s a reminder that we all have different parenting styles.
