There is one lady who wheels around one of these baby dolls in a carriage, and even feeds it using one of the toy bottles that empty when turned over and fill when right side up. That's fine. The real problem is that she "abuses" it. She'll pick it up, and ram it's head against a counter. She'll hit it, punch it. Swear at it. On a couple of occasions, tourists or non-knowing customers have called the cops on her for abusing her baby. When the cops get there, and see who it is, they usually tell her "[Name], it's not nice to do that to your baby, now go home, it needs to go to bed." The woman will then check out, and promptly leave calmly. Only once did they try to take it away. She put up so much of a hassle, she got arrested, and was apparently put in a hospital for a while. It's apparently a decent coping mechanism, yet still very creepy... My boyfriend works in a small retail store, and knows most of the customers that come in.
