what do you do if this happens? do you leave, do you take the baby/toddler away from the table or for a walk outside weather permitting or do you carry on with the meal??
at work yesterday a woman had both a screaming newborn and a tantrumming toddler to deal with. she came up to me really embarassed and kept apologising and then in the end decided to pay for their drinks and not bother with the rest of the meal saying she didn't want to disturb the other customers
i told her not to be silly - it's a family restaurant after all but she really thought other customers would be annoyed with her for staying.
made me mad that she had to leave cos she thought others would judge her if she didn't.
