dealing with toddler tantrums in public

So, today was one of those days where my toddler decided the grocery store was the perfect stage for a full-blown tantrum 🤦‍♀️. I'm sure some of you can relate. We were just picking up a few things and bam! Out of nowhere, it was like I had a tiny tornado in my cart. I tried all the tricks in the book: distraction, snacks, even a quick game of I spy, but nothing seemed to work. It was one of those moments where you feel the heat rising in your cheeks, aware of every stare from fellow shoppers. Anyone else have stories or tips on how they've handled public meltdowns? Do you just ride it out, or have you found a miracle method to calm the storm? Let's share some experiences or maybe just commiserate together. 😅
