Dirty Pig in Sainsburys

In the words of Victor Maldrew "I don't believe it".

Not 2 hours ago I actually saw a couple with a young daughter changing her poo filled nappy right IN the store (in Milton Keynes).

The dirty nappy was on the floor, the child (about 2) had hands/feet on the floor with cacky backside stuck up in the air, with mother sitting beside her wiping off the brown stuff with wet wipes while Dad paced around.

My husband was closer than me & said they weren't speaking English to each other and of course no staff to be found fast enough. If I'd have been nearer they'd have got a flea in their ear whether they understood or not.

Sainsbury MK do have perfectly accessible toilets..........dirty, disgusting pigs. I suppose we should be relieved they picked the gents clothing area to do this & not the food aisle. Can't help wondering where they dumped the dirty nappy!
Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.

    Shame you didn't explain to them about the toilets in a friendly manner so they would have known for next time.

    A friend of mine was at a restaurant recently and a couple changed their infants dirty nappy on the table. They were oblivious to the disdain they created in the other diners. Although they realised when they were asked to leave

    Would seem more constructive than ranting at them ;)

    I'm sure these type know EXACTLY what they are doing. Do you really believe they just drop their pants and crap on the living room floor at home? Do you really believe they have NEVER wondered what the porcelain thing is in the bathroom with the puddle in the bottom?

    Don't know what thread you are reading, but this one is about someone changing a nappy, on the floor, in a shop. Not taking a dump in the middle of the store.

    Oh, and what type??

    I think 'usefulmale' means the 'type' who do not know how to behave in a civilised manner, and completely fail to grasp that the scene I described in my own post is totally unacceptable (both the sight and the smell).

    A nappy containing poo does need to be changed, but not with such urgency that it must be done in the aisle of a supermarket when there are facilities in the store.

    Tomtontom - who was 'ranting'? No point in attempting any form of communication with people who, I imagine, don't speak enough English to say "can you tell me where the toilet is please".

    That's the reason we are neck-deep in human sewage if people need the 'type' explaining to them.

    Changing a dirty nappy in the middle of the shop floor? I've never seen such uncivilised behaviour in all my life. Is it somthing you would do, or have done in the past?

    I know the Sainsburys that SevenOfNine was in. It's extremely new and well planned out. The toilets aren't hidden away in a corner, they are directly in front of the tills with enormous signs. There isn't an excuse in the world for this behaviour, even if they can't read English, as the signs include the internationally recognised male/female symbols to show where they are.

    Just popping out to the Waitrose at Oakgrove where, fortunately, the only annoyance will be the OAPs abandoning their trolleys in the middle of the aisles so that no-one else can pass whilst they peruse the shelves or chat with friends.

    I have a friend who works in Waitrose (not that one).

    They had a customer who whipped out a potty in the middle of the frozen food section, let the toddller wee (maybe poo) and then expected a member of staff to empty the potty. (One did in the end).
