Had that happen to me. I was in a nice restaurant at the top of a casino in Lake Tahoe with a bunch of friends. There were I think two or three couples with a few kids at a table near ours. Apparently they had just finished eating so the parents let the kids run around the restaurant, playing tag.
I had already had a couple of drinks so I stood up and yelled at the kids "get your asses back to your table and sit down and shut up".
Well, it got the result I wanted. The parents quickly gathered up the kids and left without saying a word.
In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have done it. But the behavior of those kids and the parents allowing them to run around just caused something in me to snap.
If I were another customer, I would have applauded.
Thank you!
