Have you ever sat in a Restaurant and the kid on the table next to you starts shouting, running around, throwing stuff ?
yeah ?
You feel like moving to that secluded corner table right by the toilet just to avoid choking the kid yourself ?
Some parents are super unbelievably ignorant to just let the kid do his/her thing and not do anything about it.
yes... Some parents are ignorant selfish people.
there I said it.
I was at the cashier the other day and I started hearing "clank clank" sound.
I looked up and there was this kid, probably 2-3 years old, throwing every single spoon and fork that was on the table, to the floor.
What did the parents do ?
Nothing.... they were talking casually to each other, as if nothing happened.
Whatt ????????
I had to ask one of the waiters to politely let the parents know to "control" the kid.
Even then, the parents seemed slightly unhappy that the waiter interrupted their chat.
Unbelievable, you'd think that'd be the end of it ?
Noooooooo !!!
The mom sat the kid on the table , next to the tissue and guess what ?
yes.... The kid started pulling tissues out of the box and throwing them on the floor.
Again... the mum didn't do anything about it, the dad ? yeah... same diff.
One time we put a stack of flyer/brochures on the cashier table and this 2 kids keep coming back to grab some.
We thought they were grabbing them for their parents/uncles/whoever that was standing right outside the restaurant door, because they were just getting ready to leave.
It turns outtttt............... they just took the flyers for fun, it was a game who can get the most flyers. Some folded it up to make paper airplanes, some just threw them out in the air like crazy kids, some collected them and put it in their bags.
and Where are all the parents ? standing there, some are talking to each other, some are watching them and none of them even bothered to tell the kids to stop.
We've also had quite a lot of irresponsible parents, letting their children running around the entire dining area bothering other guests.
or parents telling kids to order whatever they want, or grabbing whatever snacks they want, and not wanting to pay later on.
Some parents just don't care what the kids do.
It may seem funny if it doesn't happen to you.
But seriously.... it's just so bloody annoying !!!!
Some people are just so rude and it's reflected on the kid.
Some kids just went up to the waiters and started yelling "ice cream, ice cream, ice cream", even if the waiter was taking order or bringing order to a table.
Then the parents came and you'd thought they'd apologize for their kids behaviour, Nooo... they go "Get us 3 ice cream to table 7"
Oh well....
I guess it's just one of the things we have to "endure" in this business.
We have to stay super nice and friendly and polite no matter what.
And there'll always be annoying, disrespectful people in every aspects of life anyway.
probably when they think they're paying for a service in a Restaurant, they get to act however way they want.
Even so,
some people I've met are just the nicest people in the world, very friendly, polite, kind, and some kids.... yes some kids are also very well-mannered.
They'd say please and thank you and give you the warmest smile in the world you just want to leap out and give them a big hug.
Thanx guys :)
