Clearly you did not read the post PP.  It was a QUIET meltdown.  People only started staring because the other kid was making a scene.  Not her kid.  Apparently she's a perfect parent whose toddler only had quiet meltdowns that no one else notices.  [/quote]

I need to get lessons on how to get my kid to have a quiet meltdown.  Sign me up.[/quote]

My DD had a temper tantrum that involved her laying down on her stomach on the floor of a store.  She was silent. I didn't know what to do, so I just stood near her so nobody would step on her accidentally. After maybe a minute or 90 seconds she got up and acted normally.  It wasn't until I described it to a friend that she told me "That was DD's version of a temper tantrum."

Also, a line at the super market can trap you physically, if everyone has shoppigng carts.[/quote]

Not if you say to people "Please move. I need to see to my child."

I can't imagine any customer keeping you stuck there against your will.[/quote]

You don't even need to say "please move". If you pick up your crying kid or grab him by the hand and look like you're going to lead him somewhere else, a simple "excuse me, please" will probably do the trick to get people to make way for you to get through. [/quote]
