    Who exactly is examining your purchase orders for childfree ideological purity? You’re a grownup. If you want the comfy pillow, you can buy the comfy pillow.

        Nobody is tracking whether you have children when you buy stuff at the store. Nobody cares.

        It has nothing to do with being a recluse.

          Besides if the people in the store gets nosy you can just say its a present for a friend or relative who just had a baby.

            Or just tell them to mind their own fucking business instead of lying.

                Yes, a lot of people make it a habit to lie to avoid the possibility of confrontation. That’s why I added an option for those that are able to stand up for themselves.

                At a store? I have never met an employee like that. How would that even work? Sure, they might try to make some small talk because it helps sell things or because they are bored, but “I’m good / just looking, thanks” is all I’ve ever needed to get them to get the hint.

            Or just say you want the comfy pillow.

            It’s marketed as being a product for new parents. There’s no law that says is must be used that way.
