Imagine having a 1 star review you left online go viral

Where would she sport the Tshirt, I wonder. To work, to intimidate customers ? Socially to continue mocking the long gone customers? Clearly this was done to get attention and shows her in a very poor light. Even if it was the parents' fault on the actual day, she isn't a good person either. In a conflict both parties can be wrong too.

Pathetic and unprofessional. It’s like walking around with a sign that says ‘my attitude stinks, I can behave how I like and get away with it’

The waitress seemed immature, imagine drawing attention to the fact that you didn't handle the situation very well, I don't get it.

Because it was November.

We won't ever know the true story because we weren't there but how about just asking if there's anything at all they can do to help.

I'm making assumptions ( as we all are), based on the info available.

My assumption is that Demi is probably a bit of a dick - based on the t-shirt and covering herself with the ' I had a migraine' line. So my guess will be not much else was suggested other than take crying baby outside in the cold. That to me is off.

As with every post like this, we'll never know and all we're doing is judging and speculating 🤷‍♀️😃

I have no time for these ‘oooh poor me, I had a bad time’ reviews. Don’t be so bloody soft. And DEAL with stuff. Don’t sulk and then get your cowardly revenge in a bad review. 🙄

I very much doubt it was a kind, polite and apologetic suggestion. Even though the suggestion itself is a bit off.

The suggestion to take your child, who is disturbing other patrons, outside to calm down is a bit off? Why?

I rarely complain. I don't know the last time I did tbh. Everyone has bad days. But, I'm with you on this one. The waitress already references her migraine. And like you say,she then pulls this attention seeking stunt. Ridiculous attention seeking behaviour. Grow up Demi.

I know crying babies are annoying but we don't really know the full details here. The fact Demi printed this t shirt says to me the complainant probably had good reason to complain about her and how she dealt with this. I very much doubt it was a kind, polite and apologetic suggestion. Even though the suggestion itself is a bit off.

I don't know how places can best deal with this if all the other eaters are complaining.

Moral of the story, don’t allow your child to ruin everyone else’s experience, and take them out beforehand. I remember when parents were aware, and courteous.

At no point does “parenting” involve a waitress telling a mum and toddler to eat outside because she “has a headache”. What “used to happen” is the staff would ask what they could do to help.

I don't think the waitress meant to stay and eat outside, but to take the toddler outside to calm down. If my child would scream uncontrollably, I would do my best to remove him from the situation if it starts making everyone uncomfortable. and I definitely had my fair share screaming child at episodes. It's not cool for anyone, including me.

I have ocular migraines, they don't affect my balance or cause light sensitivity. They just make the vision in one eye go really weird and wavy for a short period. They wouldn't affect how I talk to a customer in any way.

Exactly. And going to a restaurant is not for the benefit of the baby, it is for the adults.

The waitress may come to regret this when she's job-hunting in future. Employers do tend to check social media and won't be too impressed.

We're talking about babies here not toddlers. What exactly is a baby going to learn by being taken to a restaurant?

Nothing about that lassie's instagram says 'child friendly'. 😆

If the four month old baby was screaming non-stop and couldn’t be consoled, I’d go home. I just think that was probably not the situation here.

But you wouldn’t take a 4 month old screaming baby outside? If I couldn’t settle baby in a timely fashion I would be settling outside/leave

Even that isn’t generally non-stop screaming.

Some reports are saying baby, some are saying toddler. A four month old baby is highly unlikely to be screaming for hours for no reason. A two year old could be throwing a tantrum, and I’d take the child outside for a time out in that situation.

But sometimes the baby is just bored. You know, because they want to be rolling around on the floor/exploring and not constrained! There is only so long a few toys can hold out

I am assuming the parents dealt with the hunger/nappy/whatever else was making the baby cry, and it stopped.

She's turning an entitled review around and showing them it doesn't bother her, I actually think good for her.
I can't imagine having to deal with the public feeling unwell, and having to say the obvious to a pair of adults (to take their screaming child outside) while the rest of the customers are unhappy/complaining about the noise was probably the straw that broke the camel's back.

And part of that experience is to teach them to behave, be considerate of others and the consequences of not doing so, sadly far too many parents these days fail to do any of that then are affronted when they and their children are not welcome.

Having the t-shirt made is ott attention seeking. So distasteful, regardless of what the waitress did.

Sure, but you get in and get out, and build it up. You don’t go and aim for a lengthy meal!

I still can’t understand why people think taking young kids to a cafe, without thinking about what they can do there.

Because if you never take them anywhere, they'll never learn how to behave appropriately in various different places. They need to experience things.
