I don't mind breastfeeding in public, and don't find it disgusting etc... and have nothing against it, however, there is a time and place, and this was not the place, simply blocking the aisle for other shoppers is not on, and because blocking said aisle it becomes a health and safety issue...

And then the kid probably needs to be weened off the tit..
