Okay, so let me get this straight. You and your wife went into IHOP for a cup of coffee and you didn't realize you weren't hungry until AFTER you looked at the menu? What difference would it have made if your waitress had told you about the $1.00 per person charge? The menu already told you "Kids 12 and under" and look at how well you listened to that. Was the coffee included with the kids meal...I'm just curious. May-be next time get a cup of coffee from your kitchen or local quick stop shop.
