This is why eventually, I knew that when I got the evil eye from my parents, it meant something.
It sounds like in this case it was an infant, so that's a bit different. As someone else said, so long as the parents were doing their best that's all you can do.

I had similar experiences myself and my kid will have them as well. We've already been through the grocery cart thing. The main st. grocery store here had child-sized carts and one day he decided running up and down the aisles was okay even though I said it wasn't.
When I caught him - it was o-v-e-r. From now on son, you get to ride IN the cart with me until you can show me that you can follow the rules (which had been laid down before the incident), and I will tell you when you get the opportunity to impress me with your ability to listen and follow the rules.
This was a baby but he wasn't 'upset' so it wasn't a crying baby it was a 'happy' baby. Very happy in fact but he wasn't screaming or anything he was just happy and giggly.
