He explicitly said DO NOT TAKE PICTURES. DO NOT TALK TO ME. and DON'T EVEN SMILE AT ME.
Of course I did all three and more. It was a major shoot - with me taking pictures from every angle .. I was smiling and waving at him like a madwoman; I bought a loaf of bread and queued up at his counter, I made friends with the cashier and asked her how my son was performing, and proudly beamed at everyone, wanting to shout Hey this is MY son!!
Yes, my son the SM bagger at counter no. 34.
Every year, Xavier School exposes its graduating
students to an actual work environment for four whole days. The 30 to 40 students per section per month take over as real, honest to goodness baggers assigned to specific counters (after getting a thorough training of course) for the entire eight-hour shift for four days. And so you have 30 to 40 families or e
xcited mothers trooping to SM supermarket every month, acting like fans or paparazzi -- this, despite the very clear instructions in the school circular 
that state: You are welcome to visit your son. However, please do not talk, help or give food/drinks to your son or to his classmates during working hours. We request you to stay away from the counter ... we discourage your from taking pictures of your son while he is on duty. Ha ha, sez who. Whoever wrote that circular has obviously never been a mother.
