I wanted to talk about my day at Boomtown Bay...
We go to the water park today. You can tell the ticket ladies didn't want to be there and argued with me about how old my kids were since my youngest son and my nephew have a huge growth difference, not that it should have mattered because all the tickets cost the same!!! I left it alone, I understand having a bad day... I get to the bag check and the woman checking bags, I'm 1000% sure is, at the very least, my age (30) but I know she was much older than me. (Old enough to know better is what I'm getting at.) She pulls out my oldest sons (4yo) Aero Chamber and asks me, "ugh why did you bring this to a water park? If you're still breastfeeding a 4 year old then I can't let you in with this because we offer drinks at the stand." I should have asked for my money back and left at this point because that amount of ignorance immediately sent me into a rage... I said, "That's for my sons inhaler... They're not breastfed, not that it's your business." She just glared at me like I was lying... I tell the manager. She was very apologetic and immediately removed the bag checker from the bag checkout. About an hour goes by and there are 3 kids, every bit of 12-15 years old on the little slides pushing down and shoving toddlers... My mother in law tells one of the lifeguards and he responds with, "we're short handed, so... " He walks off and walks back by, and I'm already irritated, I said, "I know you see these huge boys knocking over TODDLERS..." he said, "and what would you like for me to do? I already told other moms we're short handed." I said, "so you're going to justify an injury or possible death because you're short handed?!?" He says, "I mean, I'll get the manager but she'll tell you the same thing. "
Let me tell you something, this is why people complain. This is WHY business are short handed. Complete ignorance, arrogance, laziness, carelessness, negligence, and lack of dignity. Boomtown Bay, you should be ashamed of yourselves. If you're that short handed that toddlers being shoved around by pre-teens and teenagers don't matter to you, then shut down! Oh, and who are some of y'all to tell a mother she can't breastfeed after a certain age and force a mother to buy their child a drink...???? read more
