Scooting in restaurants

[Lucyjo07]

So, went out for a meal the other day in a new restaurant that's opened up near me. It's a diner. The owner is very active in the local community, attached to the (slightly snobby and elitist) local primary. There were two mums in there with three kids who were running up and down the restaurant and causing havoc. The owner obviously knew them. They were screaming and mucking about in the toilets and then one of them got on a scooter and went up and down the middle of the restaurant floor! The women ignored the kids and so did the staff.
AIBU or shouldn't someone have told them off?! I was paying to eat in a restaurant, not a nursery and when I kept glaring the owner just shrugged!

DailyMail I'd usually say ban kids (joke!).

The incident where the kid almost scooted into me in the park, I don't blame the kid at all, his father who was behind me should have been watching his kid who was scooting towards me, and the father should have parented his kid but didn't. Typical middle class useless parent.

On holiday last year the food was self service and there was a frigging kid whizzing around on a balance bike at every fucking mealtime. Which was crap because everyone is millibg around with plates of food or cups of tea etc. I couldn't tell which adult he belonged to.

Sunny I'd have bumped into the kid...

But again in my opinion it's the parents fault not enforcing the rules, not the kids.
