In shops I'd definitely say it's ok to ask the family to leave, or request one of the parents to take the child while the other parent remains if they're in a queue. When I was working in retail in 2013, I remember this family came in. Their baby was crying from when they walked through the door, all around the shop, for the 20 minutes they were standing in the queue. It just didn't. stop. crying. It was ear-splitting on a busy as fuck summer day when it was already like 32 degrees (no AC), it was boiling, we were already stressed the f out. We didn't need that extraness in our ears.
Like seriously do something about it, your kid is bawling. It's not just for our ears' sakes, your child clearly needs something.
Thank you, I agree with you on the restaurant concept of not letting children in under a certain age. Funny enough,that happened to me one time, I was eating with a friend at a restaurant, we were about half way through our meal then the couple next to us let there child cry for quite a while. I would say a good 20 mins went by before my friend had enough and told management. They did nothing about it, we could not stand the ear piercing noise. He complained further till a a higher manager gave us that meal free and the next time we ate there. Which was a cool thing for him to do.
