deedee, i found it odd that a mom would let a nice man hold her baby for her so she could shop in peace. besides it's not part of the job description of these shop employees to maintain your peace and order. it sounds sort of abusive. we're talking here about people who are probably not getting their salaries paid on time, and now we know that just because they need the tips, we ask them to do babysitting for us too.

r7, don't be so sure that they wouldn't be working there, if they are not paid. it's a reality. open your eyes. most contruction workers, cleaning boys, shop employees don't get their salaries on time. sometimes 4 or 5 months had lapsed without salary, and then the company will pay them one or two months, if they ever do.
