The article discusses a recent TikTok user's complaint about children in public spaces, particularly in Costco. While her video received backlash, it reflects a recurring sentiment about kids being disruptive in public. The author defends the presence of families in such spaces, emphasizing that places like Costco cater to large households who purchase in bulk. The reaction to such complaints typically oscillates between agreement and criticism, showcasing the ongoing debate over children's place in public environments and the realities faced by parents.
"Why do we have to go to Costco with the whole family?" she asked in a now deleted video. "Why is mom, dad, and three frickin' kids here?"
"You're welcome to babysit my children so I can Costco shop by myself," offers another.
Personally, I give the apology a C+. There's a whole lot of 'sorry you were offended' vibes happening there but considering an apology wasn't strictly speaking necessary.
But the idea of expecting Costco to be a childfree space is particularly baffling. Because it seems to me that Costco is most useful for people who go through a lot of food quickly.
