'I can't fire him, because he's my boss': Customer lets her kid wreak havoc in store because she's 'the owner's daughter'

'I can't fire him, because he's my boss': Customer lets her kid wreak havoc in pool store because she's 'the owner's daughter'

They believe that since they're the prized customer, all employees need to bend to their will, and bring out a broom to clean up any mess they make.
