Booby Trap ( Archived) (36)

I work for a large children's clothing store...because it is owned by the Disney Corp, it went all out to provide a "fun" shopping experience for both the parents and the children.

We have family rooms for nursing mothers, but also a "lounge" in the play area for the children where usually the dad sit and watch the kids while mom shop. Many of the moms choose this lounge to breast feed...though i may make a suggestion to use the family room, for the most part if they are comfortable doing what they are doing where they are i leave them be....that is a personal choice.

Most of the staff that works under my supervision are young girls...and as long as they wear the colours specified in our dress code i'm good. But alot of them are "busty" and choose tops that show it off (ummm...myself included.. ), so here is my problem....

It seems that the mothers are "offended" by our show of cleavage, and has complained that it is "inappropriate" wear for a children's store....

Does anyone else see a double standard here? ( @ ) ( @ )

Of course it's a double standard....and also sexist....if women can breast feed there, why shouldn't men be allowed to breast feed there??!!.....

very "astute" of you.....

The mums are just jealous that even with their new babies breast-feeding, you and your girls have more cleavage than they do!!....pure envy....homo sapien hates competition....

i like wearing small clothes myself ........ when the occasion fits

but i think theres a difference between dressing for work and dressing for a night out

as long as the girls look clean and tidy and presentable, without looking like they are going out to a nightclub then a bit of cleavage shouldnt be a problem

but if the top has it all spilling out ..... maybe they should re-think the whole dress for work code

and if customers are finding it offensive, why dont you beat em to the post and go to your bosses and suggest a dress code that you can all agree on, before you get told by them what and what not can be worn there

all the big bosses will see is $$$$$$ and if they think that the attire worn by the staff is putting ppl off ....... in will come more rules to deal with it

Im not sure what happens to women when they have a baby in their arms. Im not a prude by any means and I certainly dont find a cleavage offensive.
What does offend me is women who whip out a tit to feed a baby. Its just not necessary.
Babies should have a routine for feeds so why go shopping at that time.
If you know you are going to have to feed baby while you are out, what is wrong with expressing the milk at home and putting it into a bottle.
You see I do have opinions on subjects other than size.

i breast fed both of mine

and did it while out and about

and i would say ppl didnt even know i was doing it, theres special feeding bras available, and as long as you have a top on and a feeding bra, and the baby is feeding nothing can be seen anyway

i could walk around shops with my baby feeding and nobody would even be looking, cos they didnt know what was happening, as far as they were concerned i was simply holding my baby and walking around

not all babies will fit into a feeding routine, some, especially smaller or premature babies need to be fed on demand, or even encouraged to feed as often as every hour or less ......... its just impracticle to sit at home all day waiting to feed it ........ babies need fresh air and a change of environment as well, and so do the mums .... no need for the baby blues to step in when sometimes all thats needed is a walk outside or trip to the mall

i think one of the most beautiful things to watch is a baby feeding from its mothers breast

Yeah, but contained within your argument is the premise or the opinion that the public display of a woman breast-feeding is offensive.....contemporary morals aside, why should this be the case??....what is it about the exposed human body in public that offends us?
...do morals like this have a religious origin, or a sociological one??....

I saw a young mother in the train station making a real display of herself (huge bulging boobs..) feeding her kid the other day...I kinda felt awkward as i walked by, and I just averted my gaze, and made a point of looking in the other direction.....it's like TV, if it offends you, look the other way....simple.

As wiKKrd said, why is it acceptable for breast feeding in public but not for her and her staff to show a bit of cleavage.

Ive decided to take this arguement to the next level. If feeding a baby is a wonderful thing, then conception is even more so.

Im just off to McDonalds to make babies.
Just look the other way if you dont like it.

You are entirely mistaken....the opportunity to see you copulating in public while eating french fries is something I wouldn't dare miss....which branch??...I don't wanna be late....

I thought Id copulate my way around them all.

I capitulate!!!.....

hmmmmmmmm

ive heard of mcdonalds and their special sauce !!!!!

too funny...

I guess the point i'm trying to make is if breasts are a "natural" thing...why is there terms and conditions for "showing" them...

Breasts showing while feeding is acceptable, but breasts when not in use...should not be shown?

Hot dogs, meat, and buns in the oven.....I always suspected Ronald McDonald had something more than toys in his pocket........

Yes, you understood correctly. Im sure its ok to have s*xual intercourse at Mc.Donalds.
In fact I think its a perfect location as the act itself makes me quite hungry.
