I went to a Wendy’s with my baby and for some reason it didn’t have a changing table so guess where I changed my baby? In my car, because I’m fine with it in my car, not a public space not designated for it tho
I was a pro at changing my baby brother in the back seat or the front seat of our station wagon, or my dads car. He was born when I was 8. If an 8 year old can do it with cloth diapers & safety pins & "rubber pants", in a car, certainly actual adults should be able to do it.
I love that! I actually found that I prefer dog potty pads for it! Helps if they accidentally go during a change! I carry them in my diaper bag and use them for changing tables too just for sanitary reasons.
I have nothing against parents in general. But there are some who think that the mere act of procreating gives them the right to do whatever they please "for the children".
Dressing rooms, café tables, public benches: not appropriate places to change a diaper!
She is an entitled parent to the max. I didnt click on her profile to see other reviews shes posted until now. (Which is a Google maps thing).
Other reviews include:
"Coffee is good but when I pulled up I simply said quietly that my baby is sleeping and the girl literally yelled back "IM JUST DOING MY JOB" ok lady..maybe you should find a new one. I would've definitely become a regular here but I'm never coming
back. Just rude for no reason"
and
"Second time in a month that I've bought oysters and they were rotten. Tried specifically to clarify with the seafood guy that they were fresh, he was rude and lied. They're adamant that I hold onto and return the rotten oysters, even though I told them I'm 7 months
pregnant and I have a receipt. It's unreasonable to expect me to save them until I can drive 30
minutes to get there again.
That's gross. I understand policy but it could be a little more reasonable. Get better oysters"
Damn, Emily. People are just trying to do their jobs. What did you want the person to do about the oysters over the phone??
I think you’re right. I also wonder if her pregnancy nose made her think they were rotten. I certainly had a heightened sense of smell and couldn’t stomach things I loved pre pregnancy.
She would if she bought them raw to cook later at home. She's still full of shit, and if there were spoiled oysters, which I seriously doubt, it's because she kept the raw ones too long before she cooked them.
Anymore to share? Does she manage to insert the fact that she has/was expecting a child and that everyone around her should bend the rules because of said child into every other review?
Sounds like she's used the pregnancy first and now the newborn baby trying to make sure the world revolves around her. Those are some of the worst kind. It's like no one else has ever been pregnant or had a baby besides her. She's milking it for all she can.
I would have given her a tiny bit of benefit of the doubt as one of the parents who are eternally stuck in baby crisis mode (still entitled, but you can see where their issues came from).
She can't really use that excuse for the reviews from before she has the baby...
What kind of job was this cashier (I'm assuming she was a drive in cashier based on the "when I pulled up") supposed to find where she can put her duties on hold to give people special treatment for reproducing?.
In fairness it is a major fuck up by the seafood guy to sell rotten oysters, so I do get her being upset about that. The returns stuff is a little ridiculous though, I’d just find a different fishmonger
Back in the 1980s (and undoubtedly before), there were no wall-mounted changing tables in restrooms. I’d lay a clean receiving blanket on the floor and change my baby there. I’d never dream of using a dressing room, restaurant table or chair, or anything else like that for a diaper change.
When I was waiting tables I had a regular that would leave her kid’s diapers on the table. There was a changing station in the unisex bathroom, she just didn’t care. The other customers were reasonably disgusted by her baby’s #2 being changed by them trying to eat.
Back in my day, the generic baby-needs bag had built in waterproof changing mats which you just unfold to use anywhere. I've definitely used these on the floor before.
I was on my break at work eating in a cafeteria and the table next to me started changing a diaper on their table, I caught a whiff and immediately lost my appetite. It's so fucking disgusting.
"If you can eat here, then my baby can eat here!" -- fine, go and breastfeed your kid in the restaurant. But your baby can take a shit where I take a shit -- in the toilet area.
I mean yeah its their responsibility. Im just saying we as a society don't always have clean changing tables available. It encourages poor behavior like this person.
we have changing tables in both the mens and womens bathrooms at my movie theatre job and people still change them on the seats of the theatre and leave the diapers in the cupholders for us to find lmao
I could excuse a public bench, potentially, in a dire situation. It would be far from ideal but I could see a frazzled parent not thinking things through enough to give them a little grace (and desperately hope they have sanitary wipes to clean the bench off after, or that I have something to wipe it down with). But this? Naaah.
I’m reminded of when I found a used diaper closed into a seat at the movie theater I worked at. 😭
Had she not been told she couldn't change her baby's diaper in the fitting room, she probably would have either left the dirty diaper in there, or tried to hand it to an employee to throw away! She just gives off the vibes of someone who would do that.
"Wouldn't let me do something unhygienic in a place where people get naked and throw clothes around?
Too bad they were rude, the dresses were cute even though I clearly know without evidence that they were made by a demographic I'm lowkeyhighkey racist towards because my diet consists of crystal light and Fox News."
I'm sorry but that seems like a reasonable reason from the boutique, however I am a human and live on earth as for that baby's mom she must be extraterrestrial
This reminds me that I need to review the family friendly restaurant which had high chairs but no where to change my baby's epic poo. The suggested I stop lunch and go take little miss poo up her back around town to find somewhere to change her.
This would be a great crosspost for r/childfree2
I went to a Wendy’s with my baby and for some reason it didn’t have a changing table so guess where I changed my baby? In my car, because I’m fine with it in my car, not a public space not designated for it tho
I definitely changed my kid in the back of the car multiple times.
It's super easy if you have an SUV. I do that over locating the bathroom often.
I don’t even have an SUV, I have a ford focus hatchback.
I was a pro at changing my baby brother in the back seat or the front seat of our station wagon, or my dads car. He was born when I was 8. If an 8 year old can do it with cloth diapers & safety pins & "rubber pants", in a car, certainly actual adults should be able to do it.
I used to have a little blanket and set up in the trunk of my car with diapers and wipes exactly for this situation.

I didn't think pregnant people were supposed to be eating oysters!
I think you’re right. I also wonder if her pregnancy nose made her think they were rotten. I certainly had a heightened sense of smell and couldn’t stomach things I loved pre pregnancy.
Oysters are fine for pregnant women as long a they are cooked.
If they're cooked, she probably wouldn't be able to tell they're rotten.
She would if she bought them raw to cook later at home. She's still full of shit, and if there were spoiled oysters, which I seriously doubt, it's because she kept the raw ones too long before she cooked them.
Anymore to share? Does she manage to insert the fact that she has/was expecting a child and that everyone around her should bend the rules because of said child into every other review?
So she wanted her order taken but also wanted them to whisper in the headset?
Sounds like she's used the pregnancy first and now the newborn baby trying to make sure the world revolves around her. Those are some of the worst kind. It's like no one else has ever been pregnant or had a baby besides her. She's milking it for all she can.
Many thanks for this.

If I knew I didn't sell you bad oysters, for sure I want you to bring them back.
I’d give it a 50/50 at best on them actually being rotten or having been sold rotten.
That’s fair!

And y’all just, let her do this?
MTE throw her out
That's absolutely fair.

Don’t forget about airline tray tables!
This is very true, but we also dont have enough places for them to change babies. We need some solution
The solution is that the parent either finds a place or handles it themselves appropriately.
There is no "we" here. Parents are responsible for the kids they have. Nobody else is.
I mean yeah its their responsibility. Im just saying we as a society don't always have clean changing tables available. It encourages poor behavior like this person.

That's awful
Yeah you're right
Exactly my thoughts!

is what I'm reading
Weird that the boutique didn't want literal baby shit on their new clothes or on the bench/walls in their dressing room. 🙄
I'm sorry but that seems like a reasonable reason from the boutique, however I am a human and live on earth as for that baby's mom she must be extraterrestrial
100% they would have left that dirty diaper in there for the staff to clean up
I worked in retail. We had diapers and worse in some of the rooms.
This reminds me that I need to review the family friendly restaurant which had high chairs but no where to change my baby's epic poo. The suggested I stop lunch and go take little miss poo up her back around town to find somewhere to change her.
I’m pretty sure they don’t have changing tables in most dressing rooms. Was she proposing to lay her baby on their floor?
A lot of dressing rooms have small benches or seats, it was prob that
She was probably going to shield the baby from the hard floor with the new clothes she was going to "try on".
Yeah, how dare they say you can't change a baby's shitty diaper where people try cloths on..
Guarantee didn’t say go find a restaurant. Probably find a rest room.
gave me flashbacks to the time my uncle would change his baby on the KITCHEN FLOOR WHILE HOSTING GUESTS IN SAID KITCHEN
She sounds like Trey Kennedy's Karen in the Wild videos! "I'm middle-aged and enraged!"
