Finally, someone says what everyone’s thinking but is too polite to say: parents with small kids are wrecking restaurants, and guess who ends up cleaning the mess? The waiters! While guests glare at the kids like they’re tiny monsters, waiters say the real problem is parents who refuse to take responsibility. Imagine kids drawing ketchup on walls, spilling sugar everywhere, running around like it’s McDonald’s playground, and the parents? Sitting there like it’s a spa day! And newsflash: restaurants aren’t playgrounds, and waiters aren’t babysitters! Alana Fineman, a comedian and waitress from California, spills the tea that parents often expect restaurants to cater to their picky eaters and don’t even count their kids in the reservation, causing chaos and delays. Ever wondered why parents don’t control their kids in restaurants? Now you know you’re not alone. Parents, next time you dine out, maybe remember – waiters aren’t your nannies! Should restaurants crack down on unruly kids and their parents, or is this going too far? Fire up those comments, we want your hot takes!
