It is their job to provide certain services. To everyone above the rank of moron, it is obvious that there is a certain point after which it should not be expected.

I have had it with low-class trash who believes they are entitled to be slobs in places of business because those peon workers should be cleaning up after said low-class trash. Oh God, I mean some of us have had it...HAD IT...with trashy people who think they can treat retail and restaurant workers like garbage.

It should be noted that this woman's name was not written on the Facebook page. No one would have known it was her if she hadn't of identified herself.

Allow me to add, since I am one, being a military mom does not excuse poor behavior by your kids or your lack of control of your kids. I get sick of this being used like some "get out of jail free" card. If it is wrong for Little Tommy, the civilian parent's child, then it is wrong for Little Bobby, the military parent's child.
Who cares if the woman's brats were the spawn of a Gulf War Veteran. I concur with your "free-pass" statement. If anything, it would be plausible to expect better behavior from such children.

As per the article:

Quote:
"Others are rooting for Poore, a military mom who says she has no choice but to bring her kids everywhere she goes."
All the more reason to instill a sense of respect in the brats. Back in the day, the military kids I grew up with and went to school with were highly disciplined and respectful. Nowadays, it appears the endemic sense of Liberal entitlement has polluted military folks too.

Its the new way. Don't control your children, the kids don't like it if you do.
Don't make the attempt to clean up after your children that's what that $2.00 tip covers.
Kids will have accidents. Their fine motor skills are still developing. The parent should make the effort to tidy up a little at the very least. Worse still the parents who allow their kids to run wild.

Restaurants hire people who clean up the dining room. They are called bussers, or bus boys. That is part of their job description that I posted earlier. I guess you missed that post. Everybody isn't like you. We don't all go out to eat and then vacuum the floor around the table and do our dishes and wipe down the table after we're done.

And now we have the obligatory special ed. parents weighing in - "My child already can't go anyplace!!! You want them locked in the basement on a chain!!!"

Hysterical, emotionally-driven, irrational...

Yes and if you work in a food establishment your job is to clean the floor when I leave.

Maybe some people have had it with other people not wanting to do their jobs. If you don't want to clean floors then don't work in a restaurant, not really rocket science. And if you don't like dealing with people then quit your job in retail or food service and be a garbage man.

Correct. There is a point, and everyone who isn't low-class trash understands this, after which an employee can reasonably argue that the low-class trash should shoulder responsibility for cleaning up the egregious mess they left. A great example would be when low-class trash leaves a dirty diaper in the changing room at Target. That is not the responsibility of the Target clean team employee, that is the responsibility of the degenerate parent who left it there.

Unless, of course, the kid is autistic.

People like you make me thankful that we have restaurant choices where children are unwelcome, and people of your ilk don't usually find the venues comfortable.

ROFL as the parent of a disabled child I hear this complaint a lot among some of my peers. It of course is untrue. I take my child everywhere. Well she isn't a child anymore, but to me she will always be my little one.
The people I know who say this make little effort to instill any real discipline in their child.
I have a friend his son is ADHD. Going out with them was a lesson in humiliation. Billy would get up and go sit at someone else's table and help himself.
"You know Billy if he thinks it then he has to do it." If I had a dollar for how many times I heard that excuse.
No consequences, no corrective action.

That's it, right there, the lack of limits. Some of them are incompetent and then there are the others who just refuse to set limits and it becomes the world's problem.

And they're doing such favors for their kids down the line, aren't they?
