"Ok, all you servers and FOTH staff out there, I have a gripe for you. When I come into your half-filled, not quite white-tablecloth establishment for lunch with my 4yo and 19mo, try to avoid taking 20 minutes to fill our drink order and then another 20 minutes to serve our pasta and sandwiches. It really tempts me to let my toddler run ramshod over the freestanding wooden screens you've set up around the bridal shower and other random 20-top whose order you took before getting us iced tea and juice. Can you tell I had a bad experience at lunch yesterday? Our waitress made one strategic error -- letting our drinks and food order wait until she'd taken orders from the 20-top. I blame management for letting us sit and stew. And I blame us for not seeking out the management to get our order in sooner. However. I DID NOT let my toddler run laps or bang on the fish tank. How about some appreciation for the parents who keep the kids under control despite the odds, eh? \n"
