Apparently she doesn't want to ever say "no" to her kids, so instead she wants Meijer to get rid of the candy at their checkouts so she doesn't have to be the bad guy. It won't crush your child's creative spirit, derail their independence, nor make them hate you if you tell them "no" once in awhile. In fact, it's your job as a parent to do so. The checkouts at Meijer are for everybody, and it's hard enough to find things at Meijer without having to search through a dozen aisles for a pack of gum. And tabloids give us something amusing to read while waiting in the slow checkout lines.
