The lady at the supermarket was too intrusive

As I said in my earlier post, it was simply common back then. Kids actually enjoyed it because it made them feel grown up. I, and other kids I knew, often asked to do it, just for that reason. People didn't feel it was bad or dangerous to give kids just a little independence. Plus it could be a nice favor for the parent if he/she is tired, not feeling well, disabled and has a hard time getting around, or watching a sleeping baby they don't want to wake.

Thanks for replying. I know kids can handle it, that's why I said would not have problems when the parents are at home.
But if you already drove to the supermarket? Staying inside and looking outside while your kid is inside? That's just stupid. At least to me, if I'm already there I can walk a bit. I just never heard of this before. I guess it is a step in between letting your child walk all the way to the store, too.
I found it intrusive when the woman looked at this bag, some say it was toy soldiers, I thought it was candy. She looked so accusing. Why?
A friend told me "Kids always buy candy for themselves" as if that was something the cashiers had to prevent and I said, no way, every parent I know always controls if the kid brought everything, how much it cost, if they got the correct change. Buying stuff for yourself would get you in big trouble.
I mean I would think Kevin was told to buy this for the family, or was allowed to buy for himself, WTF does this woman think she is doing, it's not like he only bought candy and ice cream.
