Do most FFing parents know powdered infant formulas are not commercially sterile products? How much of a risk is a E. sakazakii infection? Is it only a risk to premature and low-weight babies? According to the WHO article below, "infants under 2 months of age are at greatest risk."


According to the FDA, "a

"I think it's impossible to attend to your children while getting a hair cut. Safety first. Better to turn away one customer than risk a lawsuit when a recently shorn piece of hair gets stuck in the baby's eye or mom gets stuck with the scissors because she suddenly turned to see what her child was doing. Also better to turn away one customer who has other responsibilities to attend to during the haircut, than upset all the one's after whose appoints would be delayed."


I actually think it's quite reasonable for a stylist to move on to the next customer if a customer is delayed for any reason.

"Actually, I would consider any child being a negative outcome, regardless of if they turn the other cheek or beat up the bully."


Along with negative outcomes, it is possible for positive ones that outshine the negative.


Unless you decide that it's a waste of time to look for postive outcomes.

"There's absolutely no reason to turn away anybody."

I disagree. If a client is being disruptive to the flow of service then that could certainly be a reason to turn them away. If the stylist only has booked appointments, she might not have the option of taking the next client because they might not be there yet.

In this particular case, I don't think it would be rude to let a customer know that if they are going to be 'too' delayed for their scheduled appointment time, they'll need to reschedule or be 'fit in' if that's possible. The same applies for those clients who call to say they're running late for their appointment--my rule of thumb with my stylists clients was no more than 15 minutes late. But for some services, being any later than that truly throws off the rest of the scheduled day.

Only the stylist can determine if she has the time to allow a client to take care of personal things during her scheduled appointment time. And I feel it's up to the stylist to decide if they want to take the risk of working on a client while they nurse an infant or toddler. If it were me, and time allowed, I'd prefer to stop the service and wait for whatever the client needs to do and then resume again.

It's just that I can see too many things that might go wrong in this scenario.

"I disagree."


I'm not sure what you were disagreeing with.

So, we've established that there are some people who nurse older children who can be antisocial just like anyone else, and some ENers can be disruptive and unreasonable in a place of business just like anyone else.

>>I think it sends a negative message to the child to talk about bullying being a negative outcome of something they do. <<

ITA. And it reinforces the bully's power.

"If a client insisted that you wait for them, then I can see turning them away it as a reasonable approach."

And I believe, and she can correct me if I'm wrong, but that is the exact type of situation busy-stepmom is referring to.

Maybe, but it was not clear from the original post thus leading to debate and clarification.

TBH, I read the original post and not the subsequent debate and clarification, so I don't know if it is or isn't the situation according to Busy

I believe she has further clarified and this is the conclusion I have drawn based on that clarification. But I still could be wrong.
