I'm sorry. She shushed you so that you wouldn't wake her daughter accidentally. her kid KO'ing is likely the only break she's had in a bit and if she gets woken up sooner than necessary she'll be cranky and hard to deal with and it can put the whole day off. So when she was trying to make sure you didn't unknowingly wake her daughter up, you decided to do it on purpose instead? As a a parent who understands their plight, if I ever learned someone had purposely woke my child up you can be damn sure I'd be making sure to speak to the manager and file a complaint. That is a bitch move right there.

I am a parent also, and shushing someone and then pointing like that is still rude. I have never done this to anyone and never will. A simple, "hey, my kid is sleeping under the cloths, mind talking in a low voice? Thanks!", will solve most things. It gets the point across and still is polite.

Not only that, but if it is close to nap time, I tend to try not to take the kid anywhere since I know there entire world won't silence itself just for me and the kids nap time.

Also, why is it that parents of "normal" kids are generally rude as hell, but every time a child obviously has a disability like autism, the parent is super nice? Wouldn't they need a break the most? THOSE kids never run around and get in the way of me doing my job. Why? Their parents don't let them!

Oh your kid waked behind the counter and invaded my personal space? "OH HOW CUTE!!!!! :D"

I once had a kid that kept going "eeeeeeeeeee" and every ten seconds he'd start to walk away and his mom would say, " [Name], come back here," and he'd walk back.

Usually that's the case but once in a restaurant I saw a mother with a girl with Down Syndrome who was the worst person I think I've ever seen. The girl was just trying to love on her mom and hug her (she was around 5) and the mother saying loudly "get away from me" "sit down and eat" and then left the whole family in a huff saying she couldn't take it any more. Luckily (?) the girl seemed oblivious and was still so smiley and laughing with her siblings, while the dad looked completely mortified. I try to tell myself she was just having a really bad day, but in all honesty I didn't really think so. I wanted to go give that little girl a hug so badly, she was precious.

eta: I know this doesn't exactly apply to your post, but it just made me think of this.

The parent card is no reason to be rude to a person who didn't see your child sleeping in a shopping cart (and not in their bed). What about retail employees who can't catch a break? Just because they don't have kids (with them) doesn't mean they don't need a break too. I'm not saying that they were right to wake up the kid on purpose, but the parent was rude, and this is a subreddit to vent about rude customers....

I'm a mom. Not everything revolves around the daughter. They are in a store. The cashier has a job to do. Let the cashier do their job. Shushing the person at work is rude.

The mother, at the very least, could have maybe told her there was a sleeping child in the cart instead of just pointing and assuming. It also appears that the beeping would have happened no matter what, so even if she'd removed the tags quickly the child most likely would have woken up anyway.

She was out in public. There is going to be noise. If not the cashier, then another customer, scanners, security alarms, cars, etc... you can't shush the world, it doesn't revolve around one child. I understand parents need a break but seriously.

It's a bitch move to go out in public and expect the public to bend to your will. It's also a bitch move to just rudely shush someone, if anything ANYTHING just politely ask the cashier to make things as quiet as possible. But even then, you're in PUBLIC and it's gonna be noisy.

Get a damn babysitter.

I think I found the women OP was talking about!

We deal with children all day too, you know. They're called customers.

Please. They'll have to disturb the kid loading into the car after shopping anyway.

Oh, shushing a retail employee just doing their job as normal, because you've chosen to taken them out when tired, and then proceed to lodge a formal complaint? #THAT# is a bitch move.

Hey, you come to somewhere that could be loud. While I do sympathize with the parent a little because of what you said, she honestly should be willing to accept the fact that things very well don't always go her way, especially if she's being rude. If she can't find a sitter, she should accept the consequences if she tries to ruin other people's day if they don't bend over for her.
