Emily, your job as a mom is to TEACH your children to behave at the store. Maybe consider take a parenting class.

I AGREE with Tom & Mrs. 406!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a parent, we should & NEED to teach your children, from day one to behave !!! Otherwise, they have no idea what is correct or expected.
People do not want to deal with them or be around them.
