"A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter is not a nice person." - Dave Barry

Fact: Most toddlers hate restaurants. All restaurant workers hate toddlers in restaurants.

At 9pm Sunday night, two women came in with two children, each around 3 years old. They were immediately loud and asked for a table "far from anyone else." The women ordered $48 worth of food while the two children ran around half of the restaurant, bothering other customers and nearly knocking into several waitresses. I've written about this before, super fucking unsafe. The kids screamed the entire time they were there and the women were heard saying things like, "sit the fuck down" and "eat your fucking food" to these little kids. Very classy, ladies. We were waiting for them to feel embarrassed and leave, but they took their time eating. Their waitress even offered to box their food up. No, they just kept eating. And ignoring their children. In the end, they left a $2 tip on their $48 bill and a substantial mess all around their table. The table was originally supposed to be mine and I didn't want it, so I snuck $10 onto the table for the poor waitress who had to deal with them.

Dear parents/babysitters/every customer,
Be a little classier and more considerate please!
