I didn’t hand over a product on highest shelf to the tiniest consumer I’ve ever seen

r/

I work part-time in a grocery store stocking shelves. It’s 4 minutes away from home and pretty comfy.

Yesterday, someone asked me where they can find milk something. The 2nd word didn’t register, so I turned around while asking them to repeat, just to be met with the tiniest little goobers I’ve ever seen walk without a parent nearby. I’m barely above 160cm and these creatures were at least twice as small as me.

They wanted some Milchreis, so I took them to the aisle where it is, pointed where it’s stocked, and left to continue working. It didn’t hit me until after I came home that they might not have been tall enough to reach it and I should have asked how much they want and handed them the package.

Milchreis also comes in different forms. I defaulted to the kind of rice you use in the dessert, but maybe they wanted a ready-to-go version, which would be on the opposite side of the store in the tall fridges.

Didn’t see them later, so I’m not sure if they got what they wanted. Kinda feel like I bullied someone’s kids.

    I’m sure the little goobers are fine.

    I’m a housekeeper and once knocked on a hotel door and a wee child answered and I asked him if he wanted his room cleaned.

    You and I just don’t spend enough time around and talking to kids.
