I'm a little post traumatic from my assault

 As you know I don't talk about my job.  I will say my store locks up the baby formula and I was asked to "cover calls" when someone was on lunch.  

So I did that.  It was a mother and father, with a 2 year old ish baby.  It is important to note the mother had long, loose, hair.  

I have my hair back in a ponytail when I'm working.  The mother came up and inch or two behind me while I was unlocking the case, holding the toddler in her arms.  

Suddenly I felt a yank on my ponytail and the mother, father, and baby started laughing.  I gave them a glance (there was a language issue) and the toddler (certainly not limited in any way and old enough to know better) had pulled my hair 

I knew, based on the mother's hairstyle, she had taught the baby not to pull *her* hair.  

I turned back to my work and I felt another yank.  "Hey!  Cut it out!". 

The mother went "Awww" and started "consoling" the baby who honestly didn't GAF.  

I don't like strangers yanking on my hair!  Some of my lady coworkers play with it which is fine, I know them.   But don't teach your kid it is OK to go around pulling people's hair!  

They didn't even say "No" either time.

Ugh.  

They were really mad I wouldn't just hand over the formula and "made" them go to checkout and pay immediately but that's store policy.
