Word. What gives parents the nerve to think they can subject the entire adult public to their filthy. poorly behaved kids? Can't these breeders keep the damned toys at home, at least? I wish more restaraunts would adopt a no-child policy, instead of incouraging breeders to bring their brats with them with these "kids under 5 eat free!" schemes.

Good rant! My parents would have threatened me with my life if I so much as took a toy out of my pocket at a restaurant table... @jake - Who are you to be passing out server jobs, you fuck-wad! What do you do all day? Count homeless people as replacements for the people that serve you when your ready to spend your big-buck paycheck??

I agree and I have two small children. Restaurant-training your children is a process that should be done 1)off-peak hours, where there are fewer people to disturb 2)in a place like Shari's or Denny's, where the staff is so used to putting up with mismanaged hellions that your attempts to correct your own spawn will be appreciated 3)where the food is not so delicious that your heart breaks to throw it in a to-go box if shit goes sour and 4)include a large tip for whichever server takes the magical journey with you.
