Thirty or forty years ago my wife and I were eating in a very expensive restaurant in Manhattan. There was a couple in there with a or 7 year-old boy. They let the kid run wild and scream “NO!” at them when they asked him to sid down.
The maître d asked them twice to control the boy to no avail. After about 20 minutes a man in a suit I assume was the owner came to the table with the boy by the hand. He asked the couple, “Is this yours?” And pointed to the boy.
The couple nodded. The man then said take him and leave. Your meal is complementary and you owe nothing for the evening. However, do not return. You’re no longer welcome here.”
The couple took the kid and left.
I thought it was the way every restaurant should handle disruptive kids.
These “parents” of unruly and out of control children have no choice they expose the rest of adults with the fruit of their loins.
No one, no one will provide baby setting for these little thugs who destroy every thing near them.
The number of us who want to attend, eat, relax sould not have to put up the Doctor Spock imbreds who became old enough to reproduce!
Beautiful.
I bet the other patrons were tempted to give a round of applause.
Problem is in this modern world of people looking for handouts people would then tell their kids to be a pain so they can get a free dinner. Now restaurants rush the food to the brat table to get them out fast.
