Tonight we went out for dinner to celebrate dh's birthday. We went to a "nice" restaurant but when we booked we were asked if we needed a highchair, so supposedly child friendly and there were other kids there, although older than ds (2.1). Ds was lovely, very well behaved and he sat nicely on a chair, ate nicely with a fork, used the potty in the toilet etc. Some of the waiters chatted to him as they went past and I overheard the people on the next table commenting on how cute and good he was :) I was very proud.
When we came to leave dh took a mint imperial and ds wanted one but obviously couldn't have one, so he burst into tears :( one waiter, who had been very rude all night, commented to us that, " no wonder he's moody he should be at home in bed." it was 8:30pm so an hour after his bed time but he regularly stays up til that sort of time when we go out for meals etc. AIBU to think it's none of his business what we do with our ds and that this is not the way to speak to paying customers? Would you complain or forget about it and not go back?
This was not the only example of crap customer service during the evening, for example the same waiter, when dh asked for sirloin steak said, "a plain steak!" dh replied, " are there others?" and the waiter said, " look on the menu" and didn't help point them out or anything.
