Dear Mom at Walmart,

The conveyer belt is not a ride.  I didn't find it amusing when you took your child, a toddler old enough to ask for a ride and to carry a conversation on with me about his soccer ball, sat him on the conveyer belt, and then activated it yourself so he could take his "ride".  I considered it rude and disrespectful, not only to those of us who are about to put our food items on the belt, but to the cashier who is responsible for that station.  That's her workspace.  Remind me to take a dog to your house and bathe it in your kitchen sink without asking.

I shouldn't have been surprised, afterwards, when your kid was standing up in the shopping cart, wigging around to make it move, and then when he tried to climb back up onto the conveyer belt while the cart rolled out from underneath him and he almost took a header onto the floor.  After all, you've set him up to think that's appropriate conduct.

Sincerely,

Me
