Pancakes that adults order 1 or 2 at a time, and they want 3 for a 2 year old?

This is true, but I think there's a difference. Most of the trivial stuff brought up here is done anonymously and more for actual discussion or curiosity, which to me is different than these Facebook/Twitter attention whores.

Everybody has trivial stuff in their life, good things, bad things, etc. and it's not wrong to deal with them or think about them. Where some people go stupid is thinking these trivial incidents in their lives are somehow of earth shattering importance because they are so self absorbed they think everything that happens to them is the most important thing that ever happened.

Some kid owners just suck.

A lot of he said, she said in the story from the video.

Personally, I'm glad the owner told the kid and parent off. The owner understands the consequences and doesn't care--good for her. Parents like the one in the article are terrible. If the kid was crying for 40 minutes straight, get the kid the **** out of the restaurant. I like kids, I don't like kids in restaurants when they are menaces to everyone. This kid was obviously a menace, so I take the side of the owner. She handled it poorly but she's definitely right in the situation.

? what?

Some parents suck too. It's a two way street.

After a few minutes of the kid's tirade, as a parent I would have been embarrased and gotten my kid out of the restaurant. It's annoying for everyone to deal with a kid that won't STFU.

Blows my mind that bringing well behaved dogs places is controversial but allowing a kid to sit in a crowded restaurant screaming is not only fine, people will literally try to CLOSE THE RESTAURANT if someone objects.

Terrible parents. You remove the audience, and the kid will shut up. Just take the child outside to the car for 3 minutes and the crying will stop almost instantaneously without an audience.

Why? The owner is looking out for the well being of the majority of her patrons. If you can't handle your kids, stay home and enjoy them in the privacy of your own house.

Even if you believe everything the parents said about the situation, no.

That size of these pancakes... Gimme moar....

Here is my psychological analysis:
Owner has been a super-fatty of global galactic measures, who managed to lose 100kg while running his business, proud as hell that he didn't explode like his parents. Probs to him, a real boss. Then he hears this child before he sees it, which is a small miracle itsels, given how fat the kid likely has to be...
The he gets traumatizing flashbacks of his youth full of eating cookies, that he has been handed by his parents, whenever he was "screwing around too much" and had to "calm down". And guess what... an emotional (loud) reaction was his answer...

Pretts easy read, imo. I didn't even see pics, have no FB, but given the precise descriptions of the pictures ITT, I have a E-soulread, I think.


If this would be 2021, the kid would have gotten some liquid xanax-variant with sugar-imitator, due to his ADFHD and diabetic typ-3, I guess.

Well also think about it

The waitress told her that it was too much, why the hell would the staff try to lessen your bill? Lower tab means lower tip usually and I think the owner said she tried to say something about it being too much too which is against her own self-interest also.

It's on the parents to take the child outside and calm her down.

The owner had to yell at the kid and looks like the 'bad guy'. Mother was also a coward for posting on facebook. People are so afraid of confrontation nowadays.
Seems like she's even afraid of it with her 2 year old

There would not be any discussion at all if this happened in a movie theater. These parents are absolutely in the wrong for letting their child ruin everybody's meal.
