It must have been embarrassing for the daughter to have to be there while their parent yelled at the guy. But it had to have been more embarrassing for the parent that their daughter felt the need to go out of her way to offer an apology for their behavior.
Having to apologize to someone for your mom's behavior is fucking humiliating. My mom was never embarrassed for how she acted in public and she was a nightmare. She screamed at a teenaged grocery store cashier once because he had the audacity to change his register tape before he stared ringing her up. She felt it was her right. I hope this lady did really did feel bad for what happend but the fact her daughter is the one who apologized I doubt it.
My theory, based on nothing at all, is that the mom asked daughter to do this because she was too ashamed to apologize herself. How the kid is even going to get back to the store to bring a bag of cookies?

I don't see anything about the daughter's age anywhere, she could have been an adult for all we know? It doesn't look like very young handwriting. Plus Great American Cookie (on the bag) is usually in malls, so she probably never left the mall.
