Half term madness

Half term is a wonderful time of the year if you have kids - or it should be. It never ceases to amase me that parents would rather bring their kids shopping than to spend quality time with them. I know when my daughter was younger, I would look forward to being with her at half term, doing things going out for the day, making things anything but shopping.

It is such a shame that most parents seem to replace quality time for shopping time. Let's face it there is more to life than spending money.

Working on a supermarket checkout you certainly see all forms of life including very loud and unruly kids who appear bored by shopping too.

Why can't we go back to how things use to be inexpensive but meaninful?

Do you think checkout operators are intelligent?
