A lot of people have jobs that don't specifically have to do with children (like teacher, daycare worker, pediatrics nurse, etc) but they still deal with children on a daily basis. Any retail job, most sales job, secretary jobs, banks, amusement park workers, waitresses, etc. Think of a job where a mom/dad can take their kid with them and you have a lot of jobs.
And generally these kids come with stories. Some are sweet, some are funny, and some are terrible. Some relate to the parents and parenting (or lack thereof).
Let's tell those stories here! (Feel free to post if you have a teacher/nurse whatever job, just try to make it relevant to the theme of the thread and other posts.)

I work in a print center so I deal with kids everyday. Often kids are not badly behaved in my section of the store. There's a book bin next to my counter and I have no issue saying 'you can't be back here, sweetie' to a kid (much less than an adult). I have one lady who brings her son in and they ask if they can step behind the counter to watch me laminate their posters and I always let them because they're so nice.
However, the other day this woman told her three year old (I know his age 'cause she was printing birthday invites) and she literally told him to go wander off in the store (he wanted to show her something) because "no one would take" him. I couldn't believe her stupidity.
I also have one approximately twelve year old boy who brings me in a flashdrive every other week to print off about 20 cents worth of paper and he's so nice.
