How would the guy feel if he thought nah, it'll be ok, went about his business and then watched on the 11 o'clock news that a child was found dead, left in a car at the walmart.
As mentioned this wasn't running into the kwik-E mart, where you can for the most part keep eyes on the car and be in & out in a reasonably short time.
I would do the same 10 out of 10 times.

I wouldn't have smashed the window unless the child was unconscious and couldn't be woken by banging on the window.
I think calling the police was a good choice and I would have waited at the car until police or the parents arrived. I think the 911 operator gave poor advice to the person but I don't think the individual who noticed the kid did anything unreasonable.
