Truthfully, this is a way of the parents having "time off". "Let's go eat and let them babysit." "Oh, I don't wanna clean up after them tonight."

I can see this happening on a friday or saturday night. There are 115+ other guests in the restraunt and half are screaming whinners that the parents feel the wait staff should caiter too. Granted, in my restraunt, kids are 1st priority because if you put food in thier mouth, they don't scream. I'd rather clean up the mess than to piss off the well mannered adults trying to have a good relaxing time.

Really, take your kids to Chucky cheese. they specialize in the management of destructive kids.
