He said: 'This was absolutely inexcusable and it won't be tolerated. The person involved has been sacked and I am planning on consulting my lawyers to see if I can take further action against her.

That's thinking--spend your money to sue someone with none.

Looking at that ticket, it seems that the offending employee was giving a farewell FU to the job as she was going out the door anyway. This didn’t have anything to do with the restaurant.

A few years ago my husband and I were traveling with our 10 month old. We stopped in an unfamiliar town for the night and walked into what must have been the town’s best resturaunt. We had not realized how nice the resturaunt was until we had been seated. We were starved. We told the waiter we just wanted to eat and run quickly. He took our order and we tried to keep the baby quiet. When our meals came and the baby was fed, one of the wait staff offered to take our rambuncious babe over to the wait station. They blew up balloons and played with the baby until our meal was over. Obviously we didnt have desert. They got a humungous tip and we went home intact.

How do we know she wasn’t behaving like a “littell” (sic) Biden ?

I expect that kind of language at Denny’s—but not here!

If the restaurant caters to families with children then what does the waitstaff have to complain about. Dealing with children is part of their job.

I leave NO tip for that kind of BS.

As a parent of a toddler, I sympathize with these customers. Restaurant personnel who cannot tolerate the occasional unruly child should be working somewhere else.

That being said, anyone who eats Mexican food in the UK is asking for trouble.

I’ve been told that when I was little, I was seated between my parents in a local restaurant and when the waitress asked after the main course if ‘anyone would like some dessert’, I piped up with “I WANT APPLE PIE!” and amused, the waitress said “would you like your pie ala mode?” to which I responded “NO! I don’t want it in the camode, I want it on a plate!”

Isn’t this how the Wiener’s Circle in Chicago got started?

If my children started fussing when they were infants I would taker them out of the dining area or outside until I could get them to calm down.

Since she carried them for nine months and went through labor I took it upon myself to always let my wife stay seated and eat.

When the children were older they knew, under threat and penalty of death or dismemberment they had better stay on the straight and narrow in public and we usually brought along a coloring book and a small pack of crayons.

We almost always got compliments for our children's behavior and we are still proud of it today. we may have been tough but they behaved and have our attitude about raising their children to behave in public.

Sounds Like BAD PARENTING to me.
Has anyone read the article?
I Quote:

“Kimberley, 25, who was also with ONE-year-old daughter Megan at the time”

-——The ONE year old MEGAN behaved better than MOLLY.

Next Quote:

‘But somehow they still managed to take that long to serve us and after about 20 minutes, MOLLY started to get restless and a bit impatient.

-———READ THIS Sentence:

‘She wanted to get up and walk around but WE wouldn’t let her so she had a little tantrum.”

-———Parents, Take responsibilities for your kids, i love kids but i don’t want to have to suffer for your inability to raise the correctly!!

I put the blame for this solely on the parents.

#1. They go to a new restaurant on opening weekend when the chefs as well as the waitstaff are new and just starting to learn their job. Of course, they’re going to be slow and rough around the edges.

2. The kid wanted to get up and walk around a little bit. After 20 minutes, that is not unreasonable but they made the kid just sit there. No wonder she threw a tantrum.

The kid wasn’t the &*^%$#, the parents were and if I had been the manager, I don’t know if I would be as apologetic as this manager is. Let them sue the stupid waitress. The “blood out of a turnip” phrase comes to mind. Another one is a “fool and his money are soon parted.”
