I was serving one day, and it was very quiet. On one of the tables was
a regular looking lady, a dad that looked like he came right from an
MC gang, and two kids around 6 and 8. After ordering, the kids went to
the playroom and made a lot of noise. You could hear the screaming in
the whole restaurant. Sometimes I could hear the dad swear at his
children, yelling stuff like “Shut the hell up”. They didn’t listen to
him.
After a few tries, he called for me and asked me if I couldn’t tell
them to “Shut the hell up”, in those exact words. I asked if I could
be creative, he said yes. I went into the playroom and got the kids
attention. Then I told them that whoever made the most noise was going
to be locked in the basement because I could only bear with one of
them. When I went out of the playroom, MC Dad was laughing really
hard.
In the end, the kids made almost no noise from then on, and I got a
nice tip.

Oh my God. I wish I could tell children in my section that. The most I can do is passive aggressively bump into high chairs that are sticking too far out or loudly tell children in the isles that it’s dangerous for them to be there so that the parents hear me.

That tickled the hell out of me, Dad learned something in the process……Priceless.
There was a sign up at a curling rink reading “Unattended children will be sold as slaves.” One of the best signs I have seen
This is terrible. The only way the dad can control his kids is by verbally abusing them, and you go along with it? In fact, you were worse than the dad since you threatened them.
And Kara Hoag, you are unbelievable. You purposely knock into high chairs with little kids in them? If kids misbehave it’s a lack of parenting, why are you taking it out on the kids? I’m sure you were a MODEL child who never cried, screamed, or got underfoot.
Sasha, it looks like you spent all of January 30th scrolling through this blog and making annoying comments. I find you insufferable.
IDK Catbell…Sasha is so pathetic I actually kind of find it amusing.
