Anecdotally, I'm seeing a lot of parents with kids as old as 10 in carts at the grocery store, and those kids are sitting there staring at a tablet or a phone.
As young as 2, also.
It's constant and nonstop and they don't look up for anything.
I'm concerned.
Even if they were reading a book, a 10 year old in the cart still sounds a bit silly.
I remember being very active as a kid at the super market running “missions” to get items. One time I dropped a jar of tomato sauce on the floor and I felt so bad about it. Another time I remember college kids making fun of me for pushing the cart (to be fair it probably looked quite ridiculous). Now I look back and laugh…
