What Waiters Really Think of Screaming Kids
The Daily Mail ^ | 11 September 2009 | Daily Mail Reporter

Posted on 09/11/2009 7:57:34 AM PDT by wazoo1031

Most parents have experienced their young children getting restless when waiting for a meal in a restaurant. But not many get the bill at the end of it with a message describing their offspring as a 'little f*****'.

This is what happened to parents Craig and Kimberley Cartin at a Mexican restaurant in Halifax, West Yorkshire, where they received the receipt which had 'Thankyyou littell f*****' written on it.

Parents who’ve raised their kids so badly that they can’t be taken out in public without provoking angry responses to their behavior should stick to McDonalds and Chuckie Cheese.

Not likely that “wait slugs” (servants) are qualified to comment on parenting, etc.

Restaurants should take the old smoking sections sound proof them and seat anyone with kids under 12 in them. Standing by for the flaming

I don’t think 2 year olds have any place in a restaurant. Doesn’t anybody ever leave their kid with a babysitter anymore?

One need not comment on parenting or be an expert on parenting to recognize an odious little brat.

Wait staff are not servants, they are servers ‘Leona’, and they have my sympathy (and a 20% gratuity).

No flaming. I’ve been to a couple of restaurants that have done that. Kid section and non-kid section.

My girlfriend is a veterinary tech and recently clued me in to the fact that amongst their profession, they will make cryptic, coded annotations on a client’s records to advise future veterinarians, borders, etc. that the (human) client is a butthole.

Well, I'm not a "wait slug", and I'll comment on peoples' parenting all I like. I'm not saying that the waiter should have written that on their bill, they should have been fired for that. But I've had meals I paid for ruined by some totally unconcerned parents' spoiled brats at adjacent tables, and I don't have much tolerance for it.

Nothing liberal about suggesting people keep their odious little brats under control. In fact it is ‘liberal’ parenting that is responsible for many children being unrepresentable in polite company.

And it is limousine liberals who think that wait staff are “servants” beneath them, rather than working people trying to perform a needed service to an ungrateful (and apparently elitist and snobby) public.

But go ahead and treat your “servants” with contempt. I am sure the saliva in your food adds good spice. ;)

I’ve worked in restaurants and been a parent as well. When my kids were little we decided to stay out of movie theaters and restaurants except when we had to stop for food when on the road, etc. A couple of times my daughter started to act up in a restaurant and I immediately carried her kicking and screaming out to the car until she knocked it off. It only took two times for her to realize that we meant business and she behaved after that. So, kids can be handled. Parents who can’t get their kids to behave in restaurants are going to have a lot more problems.

Having waited tables I’d say that noisy kids aren’t half as bad as the pigs who leave a horrid mess or those who try to get a free meal by constant complaining and harassment.
