I am constantly amazed at the level of stupidity I run into on a daily basis when I am out in public. It never ceases to entertain and appall me. When I encounter the lowest of the low, I plan to write about it here.
So I am in line at the QT waiting to pay for my tea. It’s a big line and I’m in the rear but at the front is this heavy set woman holding a baby with her husband standing next to them. She has a gallon of milk with various different flavors of baby food in front of her and he has four large beers in front of him. The cashier was getting ready to ring up the beer with the baby food when the husband stops him. “Dude, no I am paying for that separately!”
She paid with a credit card which was denied. So she asks the cashier to run the card again which he does but it is still denied. She was getting ready to put the food back when another guy (who was not with her) either felt sorry for the baby or grew restless waiting and paid the eight bucks for the baby supplies. The husband then pays for his beer with cash, which he didn’t have enough so he had to put one beer back. The husband magnanimously says, “AAHH dude, shit!”
I guess the baby did not rate high enough for him to give us his precious beer. I find it sad this guy offers no support for his wife and kid (if it is his kid). These days
Of the three, I really felt sorry for the baby. This baby does not have a chance in hell with two parents like this. We either have to hope the parents’ loose custody and the state takes over or when this kid gets older, it gets locked up before it kills one of us.
Social Darwinism is sometimes our friend but sometime it fails us miserably.

Your right - that is crappy - but kudos to the guy who anonymously supported the woman.
Isn't this a prime time to call DFS? Poor kid, we have enough screwed-up people in St. louis without having to breed more.
this is a heart breaking story. poor child..poor heart that will and does already feel the sorrow it shouldn't..how sad and how wonderful of that person who stepped in..
not everyone should have kids..private parts is not the free ticket..it's the heart that matters.and i know so many who have all the heart and no way to have a child..
The sad part of this is that there are many people out there who would give almost anything to have a child, and these people don't care about the child that they have.
