chucky cheese games: Here's the situation: you go into a casual restaurant to have a quiet meal and relax. Soon after you are seated, you begin to hear loud screams, laughing, crying etc. from the table close to you. The parents of a group of 5 kids all under the age of 6 are doing little if anything to get the kids under control. This is not a Chucky Cheese or "kid friendly" restaurant. The management does not want to get involved-- they say it is against thier policy. What would you do?|||If the management won't get involved I would no longer go there! Its the restaraunt managements responsibility to provide a pleasant dining experiance for its patrons. It would be far better for management to ask a disruptive family to please leave to to lose a customer while other patrons are watching, not to mention the word of mouth your going to provide to your friends.|||NO! STOP LITTLE BABY SON OF A ***** FROM CRYING! IF THE PARENTS DO NOT TAKE ACTION FIGHT THEM AND THEIR KID! Report Abuse |||if the manager won't tell the parents to keep their loud out of control brats under control, i would demand my money back and go somewhere else.|||noooo way|||hell no, they should be at Mcdonalds!|||They should say it if the kids are loud but its kind of mean to just say it out of the blue. >.<|||Smack the stupid parents for bringing the brats!|||Toughie...confronting the parents will not accomplish anything because either A) They know their kids are out of control and don't care or can't manage them, or B) They don't realize their kids are out of control and a stranger is not going to be able to convince them that their little angels are anything less than perfect. Could you address the situation with humor? Make a non-confrontational comment about how difficult it is to keep kids under control now-a-days? If all else fails, wait until one of them runs by your table at a high rate of speed and stick out a foot and "accidentally" trip the little creep - that should keep them at bay :D|||I would tell the manager to give me my money back and while walking out of the restaurant I would tell the stupid parents to keep their loud brats under control and if there gonna act like that then they should be keep at home.|||I would say you need to grow up....you were a snot nose loud mouth at one time....Wanna quiet meal ....eat at home. The old generation didn't have money to go out and eat all the time....Hence, now we can eat out 3 x a week and so your seeing more of it now. Want peace....go to a 20 to 40 dollar a plate resturant.|||definitly not,more people should start telling parents like that to shut there kids the hell up or go home !!!!!!!!|||well, it probably wouldnt be so pleasant for the parents, cuz its not like the parents want their kids to misbehave- they're just having trouble controling them, so telling them to control them- when they want to but can't- is pretty useless and infuriating...! its like when a baby is crying in the synagogue and the flustered and embarrassed parent is trying to quiet the baby, and people just get annoyed at the parent!! hello- its hard to make babies stop crying, and dont they see the parent is trying? i understand that it could be annoying, but thats how kids are...! be patient!!|||Yes, but be sure they are not holding something at the time. I had something thrown at me|||i would say HEY!! EXCUSE ME,CANT YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE KIDS? if you get a negative response tell them they should get their meal to go,and go sit in their car to eat it!! if that doesn't work i would ask for my money back and leave.that's as bad as being in a movie theater with a crying child,or hearing a Mexican on a cell phone sitting in front or directly behind you while in the movie theater.|||politely take them aside before you get too agitated and have the squirts pipe down|||ask to be moved to a diff table where they wont bother u...if uve never noticed...most hosts seat kids in the same area|||I would wait for other seats or transfer to another seats not close to this table depends on my condition, like if I am tired and need a space to relax, but if I am OK with this situation I would not mind sitting close to them. Restaurant is a place where you would be with other people, sometimes we don't expect what kind of person who will serve us, what kind of foods are they going to serve or what kind of people are coming. A little bit of patience and little bit of understanding would help these parents enjoyed the dinner out with their kids. Atleast they won't bite me I don't mind at all. I do think the management is giving them also a consideration, this is a restaurant, you can't choose who you gonna let in, unless they would harm you. The management know there would be disturbing noises, but a little consideration, again is not gonna hurt all of us in this situation. THEY ARE KIDS and they are 5.|||I tell my waiter or waitress that their tip is based on my dinning experience. This is all I have ever had to say. The problem mysteriously disappears.|||Windyy that is wrong to bring the server into it, they are trying to wait on everyone to make sure they have a memorable night and the last thing they need to worry about is spoiled brat kids that the parents are obviously to pig headed to do anyting about.. I say a good ole fashion *** whipping would calm those children down. People are so rude now adays.. those kids will be holy terrors|||No it is not. I have an 18 month old daughter and I feel so embarrassed if we go somewhere nice to eat and she is crying and wining so we are considerate and leave. I tell my husband that other people do not go out to dine to hear our kid cry. If your kids are that bad either stay home or go somewhere kid friendly.|||Ask to be moved or take your business elsewhere. Let your money walk away from this place.|||oh this is a tough one. if the kids r really too loud & noisy i do undestand u wanting to do something about it. i have kids & do dine where its kids friendly as i find it rude to intrude on other ppl's peace & quiet. they r 1yr old & a 3yr old, sometimes things do go out of control. just the nature of young children. remember u were there once & might have some in the near future. try to be understanding as not all parents r total idiots. b4 dining make sure u tell the waiter u want to be seated away from parents with young children. that would help for starters. also do tell the management to set an area for parents with kids well away from ppl who come there to have a quiet meal. that's the best i can suggest as the restaurant do allow family with young children to dine in. it's the management's fault for allowing it to happen & not set an area for it. parents won't & can't dine there if there is a rule. hope this helps =)|||Is it wrong? ABSOLUTELY NOT! If the manager won't do something after being asked, tell him you will be leaving his establishment immediately. However, if a patron has asked the manager to step in, they certainly should. The wait staff shouldn't because they work for tips and will lose them, and are most likely prohibited anyway. MAJOR PET PEEVE: Parents who don't PARENT! Another quote to remember: "The fact that you had a child does not give you the right to inflict it on me!"|||NO...IT'S NEVER WRONG ......IF THE PARENTS OR GUARDIANS CAN'T [WON'T] KEEP THEIR KIDS IN LINE....AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THOSE OUT-OF-CONTROL KIDS ARE CAUSING A PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER PATRONS....THEN IT'S YOUR PLACE TO PROTECT THE "PEACE" OF THE CUSTOMER AND TOO MAINTAIN CONTROL IN THE RESTAURANT.......IF THE FAMILY WON'T COMPLY WITH YOUR REQUEST .....THERE RIGHTS FOR THE MGT. TO REQUEST FOR THAT TABLE TO REMOVE THEIR KID[S] AND / OR TO REMOVE THEMSELVES[THE ENTIRE PARTY] FROM THE PREMISES|||Wow. Lots of different opininons on this but I agree how annoying this can be. When we were kids my parents NEVER took us out to anywhere but "kid-friendly" places. I would definitely ask the manager (in a loud but non-confrontational way) that I would like another table because my meal is being disturbed. I have the bad luck that kids are often seated near me right after my food has been served but you gotta do what you gotta do to get some peace and quiet. I find that a nice stiff drink also helps me to care a little less!
