You have to wonder why the clerk didn't call the police after the man left the store.

Clerk is a total idiot for giving the baby back.  He should have demanded babysitting money first.

It's Daytona.

This guy won't be winning Father of the Year awards anytime soon.

Of course not. It's just the first day. He's going to have plenty of competition.

They should do way instain father.

He wasn't even supposed to be there today.

I hope the cashier gave him a stern talking to about how he needed to be more responsible and this was totally unacceptable before handing the baby over and then talking with coworkers about how they were this close to calling the police.

My Dad never came back to the liquor store. And so there I grew, next to the Jack Daniels, under the vodka, until I was old enough to leave my own child in the liquor store and wander away.

Came here for that, or to make the joke myself.

A sweet-daddy?I think not.

Another article says it's a combination liquor store and strip club.

I love these stories; they make me feel like less of a failure as a father.

So the clerk got no hits on EBay?

"Here, watch this baby for a spell......"

He sounds suicidal. This is a bad situation all the way around.

Stay classy, Florida.

Who agrees to watch someone's baby? i would have told him to fark off from the getgo.

I see we have a "misuse of the word lay in a headline" trifecta in play.

One-stop shopping!

Police say Rowe left the store with the baby, wandered into traffic and laid down in the street. The pathetic papa then hid from police in the bushes, but the scared tot gave him away by crying in the cold.
 The only thing I can assume is that not only have the regular reporters taken the holiday off, even the second-stringers have gone home, and the only ones left writing this crap are the retarded janitors who usually sweep up the place at 4 a.m.

It seems the reporter learned to write articles at the Daily Fail...

Yes, that is exactly how it went down... except the clerk did call the police and you didn't read the article. D'oh.

I learn something new every day.

He stood there at the end of the cliff. He didn't understand, what strange impulse was it that tempted him to jump?
Part of his brain was screaming, step back away from the edge, it's dangerous, you could slip and you would die. Dying is bad.
But somewhere else in his brain there was a draw, like gravity reaching up and around the lip of the cliff. If he would just step forward, he would fulfill his destiny, One small step and he could minimize his potential energy and accelerate toward his thermodynamically inevitable state.

How could a brain trick someone so? How could it propel them towards the opposite of what is for their own good?
The sophomoric scientists points to the obvious: You stare at an intense red light and then close your eyes. You _see_ green, as your neurons present the equivalent of a photographic negative, an opposite of what is real. You can even decompose the same to a biomolecular mechanism as pathways of G-Protein coupled receptors reach saturated responses and the coupled neuronal pathways experience a rebounded flux of stimulus that presents as the inverse of the Weeners.

But that all seems too simple. Sure it works for vision. That negative is trivial, easily experienced and easily explained. While the desire to jump off a cliff, the antithesis of self-preservation as a rebound effect to the fear of falling off a cliff is far far too complex a process to presume that the same mechanisms apply. What of free will? What of higher cognitive process?

No, you say, humans are far to complex to be so trivially attracted to that which is clearly and compellingly against their best interests. There's no real evidence of humans reacting in this contrarian manner in the real world. People do not reproducibly at in ways that are obviously and trivially contrary to their best interests.

I'm sure that baby had an odor....a strong odor!

Big Farkin' deal.

This reads like something out of Dwarf Fortress.

Odds are the clerk was a parent themselves. Anyone whose raised a newborn would probably give this the Chris Rock treatment. "I'm not saying it's RIGHT. I'm just saying, I UNDERSTAND."

I'd totally give the guy the baby back. Go Darwin.

So you're saying this is wrong?

Bought liquor there on a trip to Daytona. It is a combo store/strip club, and got shut down for prostitution a couple of weeks after we left. Stayed long enough to buy a bottle of whiskey, but not long enough to catch the first show of the day. The talent that was hanging around the liquor store before the club opened was not intriguing at all, and actually kind of scary. I can totally see this happening there.
