I was with my 2 Autistic little daughters at westwood Mall today and needed to go into Gorima's spice shop. There was a woman with a child in a trolley and her child's pram leaving the shop. I waited till she moved and tried to go in and the female security guard stopped me and told me that I cannot go into the shop with the trolley due to space. I told her i cannot leave my kids in the trolley and she then looked at the manager for assistance. I told the male manager that his security just asked me to leave my kids in the trolley at the entrance and go do my shopping. He sheepishly repeated what the security had said about space. I said thank you and left. I would like to understand how in this day and age, a mother is expected to leave her children unattended and go about her shopping? And if I took both my kids into the shop without the trolley, how would I hold onto both of them and do my shopping? There was no consideration to any of this or any help offered at all. It was a very disappointing episode for me as i shop at this mall all the time and it was sad that there are people like this who are so unwilling to help. Gorima's at Westwood Mall clearly dont need my business which is fine, but I hope this review helps so that no other mother in my situation is asked to put her children at risk in that store
