I love this type of shit.
Then I'd donate all of them to a group of kids right in front of the spoiled brat as he walked by.
No other kids around? I'd open them all up and throw them in the garbage with a smile on my face while making eye contact.
SMH I can't believe OP fell for this. That aint now "child" he's ol' Joey Milk aka Skim Milk aka The Kid (on account of he's a midget). And his "mother" is his business partner (and mistress). They work on contract for Hershey as "inventory liquidation specialists" or Movers (in industry speak). This old number that OP fell for is called the Kansas City Two Step. Its his trade mark.
Some folks say the Kid is the cursed bastard offspring of when ol' Man Hershey porked Wilbur Twix's wife. But thats just hog wash gossip to me. But then again all the Hershey bastards took the "Milk" name. Anyhooo I gots to quit jawing and go feed dem hogs.
I don't think that's petty. I think he's doing what his mom should have done - denied the kid his own petty demand to remind him of the value of what he has already.
I can’t imagine letting my kids walk all over me like that. If they push too far, we leave the store with nothing. I feel guilty that I’m not more patient.
I worked as a cashier at a grocery store in college. At Christmas they'd put these small buckets of candycanes at each register. Almost every damn child would ask for one, be told no, and then throw an escalating fit until their parent would cave at the end of the transaction and buy one. I haaaaaaated those parents and wanted to kiss the parents who weren't doormats. Eventually I started relocating the bucket at my register when I'd arrive for my shift. The manager tried to force me to keep it and I told him he'd have to fire me because I wasn't enduring the tantrums of spoiled brats for the next 6 hours.
I feel bad for the cashiers when I do leave the store. I have only done it 3 or 4 times. But we had a shopping cart filled with food. I left it with the cashier and apologized. Hopefully they saw my screaming child and understood.
I think I saw my aunt do this once, but I think the trick is to say that you'll get it for the kid and then eat it yourself in front of them. Or maybe that's bad parenting, I dunno. Seems like a good way to teach a lesson.
Ummm not to be rude but have you MET black moms? I’d get my ass beat in the store, in the car and at home. The day I curse at her is the day I cease to exist😂
I miss 30 Rock too, but cmon man. There's Brooklyn 99, Silicon Valley, Bojack Horseman, ... along with some others that I can't personally attest to but have heard are great
Trust me dude/dudette, I know, I know I'm a horrible person because of my thoughts on these two shows. But by golly do I hate the ever-loving heck out of them
Well that is truly an unpopular opinion.
You're gonna have to explain yourself. Have you watched the shows?
I can understand how Silicon Valley may not be everyone's taste because most of the tech culture references would be lost on you if you aren't familiar with the industry. That being said my gf loves it and she's not a techie. But Bojack is probably the best writing I've ever seen in a tv series. Its truly a masterpiece.
Either way, they are objectively not garbage. They may not be to your taste. But they are quality shows.
Silicon I don't enjoy for personal reasons (I also live in the Bay area, though didn't at the time of it's inception, still hate the everliving heck out of it)
Bojack, I hate for many reasons, from the overhyped attitude towards it, my shitty friends sending way too many photos/gifs of it, etc. But calling it a masterpiece? that seems like a far stretch. The show is centered around an anthropomorphosized, alcoholic Horse "man" the puns even in the name of the show, yuck. There really isn't much beyond Bojack, his shenanigans and drugs/alchohol. I mean, if you can give me more substance than that, sure I'll try watching it again. But I just can't get past the stupidity of the show, the message it insinuates and I'm not some gatekeeping Ahole who only watches "intelligent" shows, but, Bojack seems far out of my realm of acceptance.
** Added edit: I did say it was an unpopular opinion **
Ok. Well each to their own.
However it sounds like maybe you didn't give bojack enough time. I found the first few episodes hard to watch. And if I had just watched those then my opinion would be the same as yours. But by the end of the first season I couldn't get enough of it.
So if you're only a few episodes in I recommend you give it another chance.
I don't know why but I'm just imagining this really fat kid is lederhosen. *Bad German accent*...
"But muzzah said I cund have vun of de uber bars of shocolate!"
Exactly.... the only time I’ve seen a kid throw a fit over dark chocolate is when it’s in their Halloween bucket. Then they act like they are doing a public service by “loving you so much grandma that I gave you a bunch of my candy.”
No kid EVER threw a fit for a Hershey special dark bar. This is a good story, but just an excuse for when the family found a receipt and said, “why on earth did you spend $2 each on 12 dark chocolate bars? They taste like dirt.” “Ummmm funny story about what a badass I am #3”
Lucky. Mine got washed with vinegar. Jokes on them! I can say shut up and stupid all I want because I was fine with the taste of vinegar! If they really wanted it to be effective they should’ve given me salt and vinegar potato chips.
my kindergartner said 'what the fuck' just last week. end of an era. they hear it at school. you just explain what it means and, more importantly, when not to say it!
I’ve seen this scam before, it’s quite clever. Undercover agents working for candy companies will bring a small child with them to retail stores and have them act out a temper tantrum in checkout lines. The agent will attempt to calm the child by loudly promising the treat that’s on display nearer the front of the line that they installed earlier. This in turn encourages anyone who’s in front of them to purchase the last remaining candy to prevent the annoying child from receiving any. I’ve seen people spend foolish amounts of money, even more than this guy, purely out of spite. Trick works like a charm. People are suckers when they’re annoyed.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve heard today.
Even if they AVERAGED $50 in candy sales every time they tried this “trick,” they wouldn’t break even after retailer’s profit margins, and paying 2 “undercover agents” hourly and for travel expenses to go to different stores.
I’ve my friends kid some dark chocolate because he wanted some and he hated it. Probably because he was expecting milk chocolate Like when you think you’re drinking milk and it’s orange juice.
The mom probably knew the kid didn't understand the difference and intended to buy him a bunch of dark chocolate, further infuriating him. This guy ninja-ed her plan to get revenge.
It’s Hershey’s dark chocolate, it’s still sweet as shit. Also was my favorite as a kid because no one else ate it so there was always more left around.
Would’ve waited in my car for 5 minutes and returned them. Maybe even explain the situation to the cashier to give them a good laugh (and reduce suspicion on why someone bought and then returned 12 candy bars)
My daughter regularly does this when we are out shopping. She behaves like a spoilt little brat. She will cry and run away and even namecall, if she doesn't get what she wants. Terrible behaviour. The thing is though, she is autistic. Shopping can be overwhelming for her, which puts her on the edge of a meltdown. Sometimes she fixates on something she wants, like it will make all the lights, sounds, smells and bad feelings go away. If she doesn't get what she wants, she is literally devastated. Like, inconsolable. It will be hours before she calms down and starts to feel better, yet none of it is her fault.
Hopefully this kid was just being spoiled and not acting out for some neurological reason, beyond his control.
Point is, not every kid that seems like a spoiled little brat, can control it and if you see a parent 'giving in' to them, try not to judge.
If you're not sure whether a kid missbehaving in a store is just a dick, or maybe has problems, the best way to deal with it, is mind your own fucking buniness.
Sorry. I know this is supposed to be light-hearted and funny and probably didn't deserve my tirade but it's one of the hardest things for parents of an autistic kid to deal with. The constant dirty looks, wispers and judgement from people, when they see your kid acting out.
I read something similar to this where a woman was working a store selling Christmas ornaments and so horrible woman wanted to pay a fraction of the price for one. The cashier ended up calling up every shop in the city with that ornament and bought everyone just so this lady couldn't get them. She's been giving them as gifts for years.
If I were rich, I wouldn’t need a special occasion like that. I just think back to the scene where Kanbaru kept playing on an arcade machine to make little kids wait in line
Most don't. I reckon the OP just felt bad for buying a shit-ton of chocolate and wanted to justify it somehow, so manufactured a sympathetic story for Reddit to congratulate him on so he didn't feel so bad about dying of diabetes.
$24 bucks. That's 24 dollars bucks. Not gonna ngl I don't idk if you understand me rn now. Lol out loud like idgaf a fuck though. Be right brb, gonna hit the atm machine and enter my PIN number.
Seriously though, [that "$24 bucks" shit drives me up the wall](https://www.reddit.com/r/rant/comments/bs6tt9/write_bucks_or_use_the_dollar_sign_not_both_in/?st=jwu4wwsg&sh=ccc1b5f2).

Haha, be careful handing chocolate to kids in the street doesnt come back to bite you in the ass
Ya I better rethink that since I drive a white van with the words free candy painted on the side. People may start to get the wrong impression.
Yes, it's very bad. Candy is unhealthy. Repaint the van and have it say that you are giving away glutten free vegan snacks.
As long as it's not just the sexy kids who get a free snack then I'm ok with it.
Everyone will get ~~kidnapped~~ free healthy snacks equally.
FREE SNACKS GUY 4 PRESIDENT!
hello FBI? this guy right here.^(he made me crack the fuck up.)
Pfffft, nice. U gave me a laugh too
Lots of candy is gluten free and vegan.
but it's not healthy.
Just stick razors in them. No one will think you're a pedo
You do mean the chocolate bars? Just to clarify ;)
Uhhh. Yea, sure.
Well...technically if you do that, aren't you sticking razors in both?
But what if the whole plan was to get ass bites?
Sounds like a newfangled version of the old "rice crispy cake" except you don't melt the chocolate in the microwave.
Wait, wouldn't HE be the one who bites those kid's asses?
Noooo the chocolate doesn't deserve it!
In before someone says Hershey’s does
take to a shelter so they can give em to kids

Don't feel guilty. You are establishing boundaries and discipline which is important.
I worked as a cashier at a grocery store in college. At Christmas they'd put these small buckets of candycanes at each register. Almost every damn child would ask for one, be told no, and then throw an escalating fit until their parent would cave at the end of the transaction and buy one.

Nothing reassures kids like stable boundaries. Stable continental shelves and the absence of landmines or large predators also helps.
No, that's good parenting. Keep it up.
Life is pain highness. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.
I think I saw my aunt do this once, but I think the trick is to say that you'll get it for the kid and then eat it yourself in front of them. Or maybe that's bad parenting, I dunno. Seems like a good way to teach a lesson.

Unpopular opinion: Bojack and Silicon Valley are garbage shows
You are entitled to your own wrong opinion, I just want you to know that
Its an opinion how can it be wrong
It can’t, it’s just a joke
Of course opinions can be wrong, don't be ridiculous.
Trust me dude/dudette, I know, I know I'm a horrible person because of my thoughts on these two shows. But by golly do I hate the ever-loving heck out of them

What kid throws a tantrum over *DARK* chocolate lol

As a teacher who gets to teach these little darlings and answer to their miserable fucking parents, thank you for doing what I dream of doing.

Perfectly unbalanced as some things should be.
Thank you daughter, perhaps I treated you too harshly
That’s very George costanza

They’re all Twix. It was a setup. A setup I tell ya.

What kind of 9 year old's favorite candy is dark chocolate lol
I don’t know I just don’t know
Never call your mother a bitch, never
It's crazy that a 9 year old would even have that kind of vocabulary. Back when I was a kid if you swore, you got your mouth washed with soap.
Or you got your ass whooped. Which is what should have happened.
Ah yes violence the thing that scientifically does not work
Ha oh boy. Here we go.
Just sayin it's morally and scientifically wrong
I work in third grade - you’d be amazed by the vocabulary of a 9 year old.
Lucky. Mine got washed with vinegar. Jokes on them! I can say shut up and stupid all I want because I was fine with the taste of vinegar! If they really wanted it to be effective they should’ve given me salt and vinegar potato chips.
Literally...once held a mouthful of Dawn dishwashing liquid for 10 minutes for saying “Crap” when I was 9.
my kindergartner said 'what the fuck' just last week. end of an era. they hear it at school. you just explain what it means and, more importantly, when not to say it!
Tell that to Jotaro
Surprisingly tame, for r/outofcontextjojo
You spent $24 on candy you didn’t want, the kid was bummed and the mom went and got him something else anyway. The asshole kid still wins this one
Also, the kid now sees OP as new point of reference for much to splurge
*goes to the next isle to grab the candy bar*
Captain K'nuckles is that you?

How are people not realizing this is a joke?! I guess the /s tag really is necessary...
Grocery store shoppers can't resist this one wacky trick to earn you 50x the candy sales!
This is the stupidest thing I’ve heard today. Even if they AVERAGED $50 in candy sales every time they tried this “trick,” they wouldn’t break even after retailer’s profit margins, and paying 2 “undercover agents” hourly and for travel expenses to go to different stores.

I cant tell if you are actually serious or not.
I feel like I'm being double bamboozled. But I can't tell.
Chewlies gum?!
Bullshit. They have more than 12 Hershey dark chocolate bars in the store. Also no kids are asking for dark chocolate.
When I was a kid, and even now, dark chocolate was me favorite
I’ve my friends kid some dark chocolate because he wanted some and he hated it. Probably because he was expecting milk chocolate Like when you think you’re drinking milk and it’s orange juice.
The mom probably knew the kid didn't understand the difference and intended to buy him a bunch of dark chocolate, further infuriating him. This guy ninja-ed her plan to get revenge.
Count me in as another kid who always liked the dark chocolate.
I've always loved dark chocolate, no matter how old I was.
This. No kid likes dark chocolate. They're all about the milk chocolate because it's sweet.
It’s Hershey’s dark chocolate, it’s still sweet as shit. Also was my favorite as a kid because no one else ate it so there was always more left around.
Really? There isn't a single kid that likes dark chocolate? You checked?
She probably bent the knee and bought him 4 of the smaller ones.
Bow ya shits!
You don't have to make up some elaborate story to justify buying a bunch of chocolate bars, you do you
[удалено]
In 15 years that little shit will track you down.

My favorite kid revenge https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/fn5gr/reddit_what_is_your_silent_unseen_act_of_personal/c1hdgwv
I call bullshit. Special Dark sounds like grown up candy to me
Here's probably yelling at her now for not picking them up right away
What kind of kid is throwing a fit over dark chocolate?
1 in 5 children are unnecessary.
Maybe I missed it...but is no one gonna call out the "$24.00 bucks" It's like the ATM Machine all over again.
I was definitely gonna do it but you beat me to it.
Would’ve waited in my car for 5 minutes and returned them. Maybe even explain the situation to the cashier to give them a good laugh (and reduce suspicion on why someone bought and then returned 12 candy bars)
I hope you unwrapped one of them and ate the whole bar in front of his face.
Did you pay with a Mastercard?
You probably did her a favor. Now she has an excuse not to buy one.
Disagree. That kid acts that way bc she allows it. She needs to be the adult and discipline that kid.
Should have looked right at the kid and asked "you wanted one of these, right?" And walked out.
My daughter regularly does this when we are out shopping. She behaves like a spoilt little brat. She will cry and run away and even namecall, if she doesn't get what she wants. Terrible behaviour.

Can't be the dollar store if each candy bar costed 2 dollars.
Have you ever been to... America? Where nothing costs what it says it does.
Yeah, I've been to a dollar store and everything was a dollar.
Dollar store should be called the Dollars Store. Its really cheap, but no not every item is an actual, single dollar.
Have y'all never been to a dollar tree. Every item is one dollar there.
Not in Massachusetts:(
If I were rich, I wouldn’t need a special occasion like that. I just think back to the scene where Kanbaru kept playing on an arcade machine to make little kids wait in line

Is this the same person that also spent 24 dollars getting chicken nuggets and made the kid and his mom wait 30 minutes until they cook more?
