They're your bloody kids, why aren't you controlling them? Instead they're running around, screaming, and getting under everyone's' feet while they're trying to shop.
Control 'em, or lose 'em!
OMG I absolutely hate that! Or worse... when you're trying to eat and you've got a family a few tables over and they are just letting their kids scream and cry and they aren't even trying to diffuse that situation. Take your kids outside or to the bathroom for that shit.
Four kids and only once have I ever had a situation where any of them did any of that shit. It was in a grocery store and it was with S. She threw her first and last tantrum. That shit got de-escalated by me rather quickly. Since then nothing of the sort has ever happened with any of them. They know I'd be pissed.
Employing the "Pre-WalMart speech" is rather effective. Even on teenagers.
