Mall World...

I work at Spencer's Gifts.. Those of you who don't know what that is- it's a novelty store. We sell shit anywhere from fake cigarettes, rubber chickens, and airzookas, to bondage tape, stipper poles and vibrators.
So basically, its a huge teenager attraction. I literally spend the whole day kicking out 16 year olds who have no respect and no manners. Not saying that every 16 year old is this way- there are plenty that I don't kick out.
I also get these kid's equally disrespectful parents.
Since we sell a lot of drug paraphernalia (NOT BONGS) I often refuse to sell items to kids under 18. I mean, I don't want their parents coming back and blaming me because their kid doesn't know enough to not buy something their parents are going to beat the shit out of them for. Sometimes they come back.. Sometimes.
And that's what really baffles me. I mean if the kid is 17 and their parents are open minded that they smoke pot (or they think their kids don't, but they like the shirt), whatever. But I love when parents bring their 12 year old son in, with hickeys all over his neck, and proceed to buy him a "fuck" buckle (literally a belt buckle that just says FUCK), a shirt that has the addidas logo as a pot leaf stating "addicted" and another shirt that says "Smile if you take it in the ass".
SERIOUSLY?
Your kid shouldn't even be HAVING sex, or smoking pot. HE'S 12 YEARS OLD.
Also: the fuck buckle? He's 12. Where's he suppose to wear it? Church?
I'm sorry, but anyone over the age of 20 is going to be like "WTF MATE" when they see this 12 year old kid walking down the street with a fuck buckle and a pot shirt. THEY WILL JUDGE YOU, THE PARENTS!!
Sure he'll be cool @ school for 5 minutes, before the teacher notices and sends him home.
Granted, the smile if you take it in the ass shirt is funny, but only on someone who's old enough to understand what it means. This 12 year old SHOULDN'T be laughing.
I'm not usually one to judge. I don't scrutinize the old men and women who come in and buy sex toys. Good for them! But lady, I judged you.
You aren't necessarily a "BAD" parent. Hell, I wish my mom went and spend $60 on shit for me, but you should obviously be looking after your kid a little better. I mean, its possible he's not smoking pot, and he's not having sex and he honestly just thinks he's "cool" if he has these things, but you need to tell him its NOT. He can be cool when he's 18.
