they have a monitored play area within the store for kids. I wish the supermarket did.
They did have one when I was growing up. At Motts Supermarket, it was the magazine rack!!!!

Because of the way I was raised, "spare the rod, spoil the child mentality", my daughter was never touched. I used positive reinforcement and rewards for good behavior as well. My daughter is now a beautiful, 35 year old woman about to be married to the love of her life, and becoming the stepmother to my beautiful step-grandson, Cody, who will be walking ME down the isle!!!!!
