There's an assumption (not just in your reply but in several topics here in many fora) that everything you deem an inconvenience can and should be rectified post haste. First off...your definition of an inconvenience is likely not universal, particularly the definition of an inconvenience that requires immediate fixing. Second...you can't expect your path every day to be paved with rose petals. If you assume it will be you better plan on living with disappointment, frequently.
Pure distortion.
If you'd like to address what I actually said, then we can have a conversation. If you are only interested in making stuff up, then have a nice day.
Where in the article did it say the two old ladies had neuro disorders?
Though you quoted her exact post, you somehow missed understanding her words. Here it is again
She never stated any specific old ladies had neuro disorders.
"and some people, especially older folks with neurological disorders, cannot stand that kind of shrill noise. So to to consider that, might be wise....and helpful to develop that awareness?"
Doesn't always work. One year, we went to a fancy French restaurant for a late dinner for our anniversary. A family with 2 toddlers came in and proceeded to let the toddlers run wild, stare and talk at other diners and literally take food off their tables and run off with it. The parents thought it was charming, the other patrons did not though I have to admit it was pretty funny. The manager swiftly went over and gave the parents a talking-to, they left in a huff and everyone was happy.
That happened the last time I went out to eat with my husband. There was a kid who was maybe 4-ish running around the entire restaurant while his parents completely ignored him. It eventually became a safety issue because he was getting tangled up with waiters who were trying to carry trays of food. When the hostess said something to the parents, they had looks on their faces like "how dare you!". Those are the types of parents I hate. I give a pass to everyone else who at least makes a reasonable effort to get their kids to behave.
Because that's the price of a public facility in a free society. Babies don't need to be locked away because some folks can't stand them.
Babies cry, that's normal. It's like hating old folks because they're in a wheelchair, ugly or wearing dentures. "Move that old lady, now, restaurant manager!"
Don't like crying babies? Don't go to public places. Problem solved.
Really? Bizarre that you consider hatred of crying babies in public to not be the entitlement mentality, and rather blame the parents.
The "Special Snowflake Syndrome" is strong with you.
Here's an article written in more detail. I'd be curious to know if the baby had a piercing scream, or just kind of was yelling. The article references the baby screaming at approaching waitresses, and was also excited by a group singing "happy birthday". Which is loud, too, actually.
"We're in the hospitality business. We want all our guests to have a great experience," said Travis Doster, a spokesman for Texas Roadhouse. "We were voted one of the loudest restaurants by Consumer Reports. We are proud to be loud. If you want to hear clinking wine glasses and clinking forks, then this probably isn't the place for you."
People who go there and complain that it's not quiet are the same ones who buy a house next to the train tracks and then complain that trains make noise
First of all, 10 months old is too young to be teaching him to use his indoor voice. He's not even aware of himself or what he's doing. You just have to calm him down and keep him quiet so he won't disturb other people.
It's true that the baby was disturbing other people, but the table behind them was wrong to judge the mother. Yes, they can be annoyed, but did they have to tell her? No one wants to be judged like that. Keep it to yourself.
And I absolutely hate self-righteous women like them who claim that their children/grandchildren NEVER acted this way. Get off your high horse. People with no compassion and no heart suck. Having an infant is tough and very stressful.
I don't think that is what most in this thread are saying. A 10 month old is going to be disruptive at times, but that isn't really the issue. The issue is parents that believe they have the right to subject everyone around them to their child's poor behavior.

No...further back, she was speculating that perhaps one of the ladies might've had MS or something similar, and thus passed the note to the young parents.
