| - So 3 minutes ago, I went with my son to get some batteries. My son found a ball not in the right area. Doing what children do he picked up the ball. I told my son to put the ball down. My son asked me can he put the ball where it goes. I allow this because I teach my children to clean up after themselves. I also teach my children that helping others is a great characteristic to have. Doing what a six-year-old boy does, he begins the tosses the ball in the air not too high, less than a minute of having this ball in his hands, he caught the ball wrong & the ball bounces away from him. As he's going to retrieve the ball that barely made it past two aisles, a grouchy sounding unstable creature (for lack of nicer term), announced over the overhead attention Dollar Tree shoppers, keep your children with you and don't let them throw balls in the store. Are you kidding me? I would totally understand if it was doing any real damage like knocking things over or getting in people's way. But this literally happened in less than a minute and a half. I'm in disbelief, it's sad really. I thought I was overreacting it first, feeling this flithy store doesn't deserve my $1.08, but another shopper noticed what just happened and said I can't believe how childish that employee is. She said I'm not buying anything from here and left the store following right behind my son and I. Not saying that my son should have been bouncing the ball in his hands, but that's not how the employee should have addressed this.
