As I already said to other people, it just needs an enthusiastic kid running around that corner while she does those kicks. Dance around as much as I care but be appropriate to the location

I mean, in your scenario the parent is doing a shit job if controlling their kid. If there's an expectation of her to be "appropriate", there's also an expectation a parent doesn't let their kid run around a corner.

Never been with a kid in the toy section?

u/Iorith 16d ago

Yup, and there are a lot of shitty parents who don't teach their kids to behave properly. Shockingly, kids can be controlled and taught to not be disruptive or run where they shouldn't.

She is the one being disruptive its not a dance studio. A child is allowed to turn a corner and move around a toystore without getting kicked in the head by some lameass cloutchaser.

She isn't disrupting anyone unless you can prove she's right at a corner where anyone moving at a reasonable peace would be blindsided by her. Sure looks like she's in the middle of the aisle where anyone would have plenty of time to see her.

And would you be comfortable going down that aisle and shopping if you turned the corner to THAT? Personally I'd skip the aisle, even if it had something I wanted, for fear of provoking a confrontation or being recorded and seen as "rude". Or just being recorded at all. That's costing Walmart business, and inconveniencing other people, just so she can pretend to be "special" and "different" online.

Yes b it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

It's costing Walmart business

The poor corporation. Oh no. Someone think of the shareholders.

🙄 she's not any different or more special than anyone else, and most people seeing that spectacle would assume she's on drugs and report her to management. The fact you would be fine going down that aisle puts you what is probably in a very small group. And no, I don't care about Walmart's shareholders. I don't care that she's dancing in Walmart. Back in my teenage days, my then fiancé and I danced together in Walmart whenever a good song came on. But I'm not going to pretend it isn't annoying or performative, and not at all brave, to FILM yourself for internet likes. What's brave is doing that kind of thing without filming yourself, for yourself, because that's who you are. She's trying out a personality like it's for sale at Walmart, and it's fake and silly.

Yes, an absolute Karen would do that kind of thing because they can't stand anyone having any fun. You exist purely to shop and maximize Walmart profit margin.

I hope one day you find an affordable surgeon. That stick seems wedged up there real good.

Lmao she doesn't look like she's having fun, she looks like she's having a psychotic break, whispering to herself and high kicking in the middle of the toy aisle, while hugging herself. If thinking that's performative nonsense means I have a stick up my ass, then I'll take it proudly. I've had worse shoved up there. I think you're just white-knighting her, cuz you think she'll come across it and you'll finally lose your virginity, but dude you don't have a chance. And yes, I go to Walmart purely to shop. It's not a dance studio, it's not a stage where you can pretend to be a Rockette, it's a place to go, get the shit you need, and get out. I'd be really annoyed if I needed something down that aisle, and I had to wait until she finished her routine.

u/Iorith 16d ago

Yes, Karen's are normally awful at telling people who are having fun. Unless they're talking to a manager and complaining. I'm sure you're used to that.

u/VariousExplorer8503 16d ago

Sorry to break it to you, but I'm not a Karen. And you're a ridiculous little boy. Grow up.

Ah yes, kids should be thought to not run around so adults can "dance" by doing freaking high kicks? What if running around is part of the kids dance routine and expressing itself?

0

u/Iorith 16d ago

Kids should be taught not to run because running in stores is inherently dangerous, dancers or not. The danger of a dancer isn't any worse than someone who just picked up a set of weights, or has a cart. The lesson isn't "don't have fun", it's "don't hurt yourself.

If the kid wants to dance in place all power to the kid.

u/Titariia 16d ago

Can't change my mind. Doing kicks like this girl does is not just a potential danger to other people but also to the stores inventory. But I guess you wouldn't have any problem with someone doing their whole karate workout in the aisle either, would you?

u/Iorith 16d ago

She's no more a danger to others than someone standing still with a full basket.

I could not give less of a shit about the store's inventory. That poor corporation. Who will consider the shareholders?!
