With every 1 in 80 kids now on the autism spectrum I think service industries have to be more accommodating and work with parents because this is the world we live in. This was a pretty obvious case of an attendant who wanted to show his tail and make a mom beg. Sadly it seems that some freepers would be more comfortable sending all the “bratty Hellion defective children” to an institution.
