The kid at a restaurant coming by to say hi would happen once. You’d likely never see them again.
What about if it wasn't a kid who came over to talk to you uninvited, but an adult you don't know? Would that be okay? If it's not acceptable behavior for an adult, why train kids that it is?
And what if that kid toddling around a restaurant toddled into a waiter carrying a heavy tray of hot food causing it to be dropped on the kid?

Hmm. I think an adult coming over briefly, if you don't know them, to say something like "wow, I went to that summer camp myself as a child (pointing to a t-shirt). Great place! Small world" or something like that. Or a kid who comes up and says "I have a new bracelet!" and then shows it off and skips back to their table.
The problem is when the child parks it, or the adult parks it and won't leave.
Ok well have fun getting angry with small children in restaurants
The 'anger' (and who let's it rise to anger, it's an annoyance) is for the parents who think such intrusive behavior is acceptable, or worse, think it's adorable.
Do you all think it's appropriate or inappropriate to let your toddler children go to other tables at a restaurant and start chatting it up with strangers while they wait for their check (after they finished their meal)? Even if the toddlers are very charming and adorable?
Not acceptable. I dont care how cute yr kid is. If i wanted to hang out with children, i’d go to chucky cheese. If im at a nice/more adult restaurant (not like friendlys, tgif etc), i expect the courtesy to not be interrupted by children.
