No I'm going with the "did comet drink too much or smoke too much" tonight bit.

That is what I find amazing. I actually love children but there are times and places where they belong. Children who can not go into a café without disturbing other patrons do not belong there. I have a far, far higher tolerance level for misbehaving kids at McDonald's than I do at a nice sit down restaurant, café, or coffee house. I figure in McDonald's it is all part of the package. I also have a higher tolerance for it during the day than I do in the evenings.

About the same time the idea started that we are all entitled to not be offended.

Small coffee cafes aren't really kid friendly imo. There is the McDonalds playplace for that.

No wonder service has declined in this country. The attitude of the "service" industry has become deplorable. Now they have gotten to the "bus your own table" point.

Well when you got folks like on this thread who scream that if somebody spills something at a restaurant it's not anybody's job there to clean it up or anything else what do you expect? Also anybody who does spill something is a lazy slob who will raisees lazy slobs etc. etc. etc.

Nobody has said staff should not clean tables and messes, Cletus. You're thick, but you're not that thick.

You're also growing increasingly defensive, which is a good thing. You're actually thinking about your behavior.

The "not my job" excuse has actually expanded to the customers. Un-freakin believable.

See it all the time kids even throwing food and parents doing nothing about it.

[KUchief25]

What on earth are you talking about now? Yes you did that very thing. I guess you forgot already.

Well these folks seem to be a cut above in their eyes. You see they go out and eat and apparently clean up the tables, floor and dishes afterwards. Now I've never seen it before but it must happen all the time or they are just pulling our chain.
