2nd top story in BBC news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-24667356 Supermarket chain Sainsbury's has apologised after a worker told a new mother she "shouldn't be out of the house with a baby this young". Sabina Latto said she was approached by the female employee in a store in Hedge End, Hampshire, with questions about her six-week-old son, Myles. But the conversation turned and she was later asked: "Where's the father?" She complained while in the store and the worker apologised. Sainsbury's said it was investigating. Mrs Latto said it was one of the few times she had taken Myles out of the house since he was born. 'Almost speechless' "I was approached by a member of staff, and when you have a new baby lots of people approach you and usually it's very kind things like 'oh isn't he gorgeous', and initially that's how the conversation started," she told BBC News. "Unfortunately it took a very sudden turn when she decided to tell me that, basically, I shouldn't be out of the house with a baby this young. "She asked me what I was thinking 'bringing my son to a place like this'. "It left me completely shocked, I was almost speechless." The new mother said other shoppers stepped in to defend her but the remarks continued during the incident on Wednesday. "Then she went on to ask me where my son's father was," Mrs Latto added. "[It] made it seem like I wasn't looking after him properly and that I was neglecting him when all I was doing was having a look round the shops." She made a complaint and was taken for a chat in the store's cafe where the employee later made an apology. In a statement, Sainsbury's said: "We are deeply concerned by this incident and apologise unreservedly to Mrs Latto for the distress this has caused her. "We are investigating what happened and the store manager would like to meet Mrs Latto to apologise in person."
Like the fella in b and q. Who asked the high strung mother who was ****ing and blinding at her two kids if the kids were twins. No says she do they look like ****ing twins are you blind or ****ing stupid she's 6 and he's 3. The guy says no madam I'm not blind or stupid but I just find it hard you actually got someone to ride you twice. Bloke got fired but what a comeback lollers
"She made a complaint and was taken for a chat in the store's cafe where the employee later made an apology." ... which was clearly not deemed as being enough so Mrs Latto went running off and reported it to the press and media.. All of that said i have no sympathy for the employee - what possible business of hers was it? As for asking where the father was
When I was 18 I used to work in tesco. I particularly liked it when people left babies in the trolley then wondered off round the corner as I used to see how quickly I could scare the children into crying. I got caught pulling faces at baby with it screaming by its mother. Who complained about me. I wasn't sacked for said offence. Next time your in a supermarket give it a go. It's highly enjoyable. As is slapping chickens then shaking them and holding them to your ear. The looks you get off other customers is a joy to behold.
I was in Luton airport about 10 years ago and some big black woman who didn't speak much English was trying to push a trolley with about 6 suitcases on it while holding a child which was about 3 years old. I stopped and asked her would she like me to push her trolley as she was almost dropping the child, assuming it was just going to a check in desk. She hands me the baby and then starts darting with the trolley towards the exit, I mean literally jogging with the trolley. So I'm running after her with her baby in my arms, she didn't look back once to even see if I was keeping up - about 10 minutes later we finally get to some drop off point outside on the other end of the airport, where some big black fella who was waiting for her started shouting at her while giving it the "who to **** is he!?". **** sake.
I was showing this woman a car when she asked me how many owners."Just the one" I said."And who was it?" I said "I can't tell you that,it was a lease car". "Oh I won't be buying that then.My son had a lease car and I saw how he treated it". I looked at her and said "Well madam that really tells me more about your family than it does about lease cars" Luckily I work for myself.
