Why would you expect peace and quiet at 430 am on a weekend? Maybe you should just scramble some eggs in the kitchen.

So are you making the argument that based on time and location it is ok to act like an asshat in a business establishment annoying other customers.

That is for the business owner to decide and enforce not for an armed customer to decide and enforce.

Some eateries such as, say, "Dirty Nellie's", might cater to the loud-drunks-getting-sobered-up-at-4:30AM crowd. Some like, say, "Grandma's Home Kitchen", might cater to the quiet-as-a-mouse crowd. Some like, say, "Chuck-E-Cheese", cater to the families-with-young-and-very-loud-and-very-annoying-children-running-amuck crowd.

I can see it now......

Place: "Chuck-E-Cheese".

Time: 7:30 PM

Customer Wanting Peace and Quiet: "Could you please keep your children quiet and under control? I'm just trying to have a peaceful meal."

Total chaos continues.

Customer Wanting Peace and Quiet: "I asked you to keep your children quite and under control."

Dad: Scratches his forehead with his extended middle finger.

Customer Wanting Peace and Quiet: Circles the table twice. Ensures his weapon is seen and says, "I will say it again. Keep you children quiet and under control. I want to have a peaceful meal and not be annoyed."

Dad: "Yes, Sir."

Chuck-E-Cheese gradualy gets quieter and quieter and then emptier and emptier until it is totally empty and quiet except for the customer now enjoying his peaceful meal.

Fifteen minutes later......

BULLHORN: "Sir, this is this is the SWAT Team. Our snipers have you in their sights. Slowly raise your hands and put them behind your head. Now, slowly stand up. Lie on the ground with your arms and legs spread-eagle and fingers spread out....."

Two minutes later.....

I refer to Chuck-E-Cheese "restaurants" as visual birth control.

That's pretty funny--and likely.
