Tossed About

The nightmare section of my department is definitely the fish decorations aisle.

It's a bunch of holdable items, within reach of children.

A nightmare scenario in any retail store really.

And as it happens, the fish decorations get moved around a lot.
People pick them up, and then put them back down in a separate location.
Bored customers (probably kids and maybe some adults) create little diorama's
And there's those people who like to randomly pull all the decorations on one shelf and then shove them onto another shelf already filled with decorations. *shakes head*

One particular set of ornaments though, tend to get the worst of it.
We have these sea anemones.
That are like rubber hairy balls.
And that rubbery portion of the ornament can come off really easily.
Leaving you with a nice little toy to play around with.
-Like those sticky hands or soft spikey yo you balls.

So we often find those decorations in pieces (the hard half and the soft half)
And then have to hunt around for the other missing part. As you either find the little stand the rubbery part is supposed to be on, or the rubbery part in a wad on the ground.

This day however,
I happened to walk past the fish decoration aisle.
In time to see two little kids using those sea anemones in their own version of a snowball fight.
Throwing them back and forth at each other.  
Which :S since that section of the store is filled with breakable items.
I had to put a stop to immediately.

lol though I did admire their creativity in find the one 'soft' thing in that section to use as ammo.
