Maybe it's just my misperception, but I feel like there's a "kids suck" thread at least once a week. Or at least a "patrons suck" thread.
For the record - my 2yo daughter has never eaten fast food. If we bring in outside food, it's usually raisins or Oatios and never food from another establishment.
But I wonder if restaurant owners/chefs understand how off-putting it is to continue to read complaints about how annoying patrons and their children are. I'm in IT. I'm sure I'd be awfully careful about posting about annoying users on a board primarily frequented by the very users who keep me in business.
Just my two cents.

After all, outside mythology, none of us have sprung fully grown from our parents. All of us will be young and a bit messy - and old and a bit messy - and we should have a little patience.

It's not my fault that most kids will not eat anything that's not "Crispy" or covered in "Cheese" or the good Lord will strike me down because I forgot to include a prize!

I'm sorry Deb, But this is the way I see it...
If you can't find "Chicken Nuggets/Tenders/Fingers at any American;(or for that matter) any restaurant in North America then please let me know...That means they can't accomodate most of the next generation!

I'm sure you vent to your co-workers about a difficult job or customer, in your line of work. I know I do.
