About two years after our local Fresh Choice decided to allow parents to bring free-range children who grabbed food with their bare hands off the buffet and engaged in running food fights, the restaurant closed.

It had been a twice-a-month destination for us and our friends before the screaming and yelling.

We got why they wouldn't stop it. In California you'd probably be sued or punched in the face if you politely asked a parent to make their child behave.

I'm all for restuarants banning children that aren't behaving- but, please ban their parents too!

Exclamation Too Bad They Unbanned Them:

Ban them forever. Do not give in to their crazy demands. The parents are more spoiled than the children are!

I solved this by wearing some noise-cancelling earbuds with my phone tuned into my favorite playlist, talk radio station, etc.....the other day I could SEE a small child screaming in his cart, and a parent trying to calm them down.

I happily went on about my shopping LOL

(This also works when doing yard work and the dumbass neighbor next door would rather leave their yip yap out instead of pulling them in.....or better yet, training them so they respond when it's a legit emergency)

Surprisingly enough, the food was good, and the women were very attractive. Much better than what I expected from a place in the middle of nowhere in NC.
It was in NC, all the girls were probably sisters and it was momma's home cooking you were eating.

LOL! I thought that would be the case at first, but one girl was hispanic, one was black, out of the maybe 5 that were there.
They looked more like inner-city girls than some country NC backwood girls.

It's irritating when the child is constantly crying or yelling and the parent just sits there and doesn't do anything about it.

There are fewer and fewer screaming children these days especially because of tablets and smartphones. But people make fun of that.

I'd suggest that we fine the parents an amount equal to the value of a citation for Disorderly Conduct, but then everyone would find some way to cry Civil Rights Violation.
