My wife, 3 year old daughter and I were at Hobby Lobby tonight. While checking out, the older female cashier (60-ish) told my daughter to come around the counter. We’re used to employees at various places giving stickers to her because she is pretty cute as kids go, but our red flags did go up. Then the woman said “Come give me a hug, it’s ok.” Didn’t ask us (parents) first. My wife and I were in such shock that we didn’t intervene. It’s been bothering me all evening. I’m furious at myself for not speaking up, but I’ll admit part of it was just not wanting to come off as rude. I’d die for my little girl, but I didn’t keep a stranger from hugging her.
