Can we go back to listing more depressing chain restaurants? Or did we get them all yet?

Wendy's, we forgot about Wendy's.
I dated a Wendy for a short time. She was H O T, but not the marrying kind, mind you.
KFC is usually a blast....LOL
I laughed, but then I'm watching Pulp Fiction and envisioned a baby gimp outfit. That should shut them up.
1. Every family, including those with newborns, has a right to dine out at any restaurant of their choosing, as low-brow or high-class as they come, within legal rights of course (no celebrating Buster's 4th birthday at an Irish Pub).
2. You can't expect kids to be mutes throughout an entire evening, they're little balls of bound up energy which is often exaggerated with special needs children. But, if they get whiny or restless, you should take them outside to be disciplined, calm down, cool off, finish crying, etc. If the child cannot stay calm and quiet, then perhaps it's time that family asks for a to-go box. It's that simple.
We have a 5 year old and for the most part she's very well behaved. But sometimes, she gets bored (especially when waiting on our food) and can get restless. She never screams and cries, or even cries at all, but you can tell she'd rather be running and jumping around than sitting there waiting on food. So we try to take a proactive approach, we'll bring an activity book for her, or we'll play games (I Spy, for example) to keep her occupied and focused. She knows not to get up from her seat and especially knows not to get up and turn around. If she ever acts up to the point where it's bothersome to other guests, then our problem does not need to become their problem, and we'll leave.

People eat at Red Lobster?
My staff loves that place. I hate it. It is disgusting and I can barely choke down the cheese bread.
Anecdote: I was in small-town Missouri last weekend at this awesome dive bar/restaurant and there was an kid about 8 years old (complete with a rat tail..I can't make this sheet up) sitting next to his parents at the bar (obviously regulars) while they drank draft PBR and chain smoked Camels.
He'd spin around on his bar stool, laugh at the bartender joking around with him, walk over to the video games and play for bit, etc.
It was heartwarming to see that in 2012, because you'd never see it in a bigger city nowadays. They'd tackle yer kid 'fore they let him near the bar.
Also one of the waitresses (of whom all could have kicked my ass) came and sat next to us on break and lit up a big, plastic-tipped gas station cigar of unknown brand. I didn't want to leave.

If TGIF is your idea of fine dinning no wonder your 56 and unmarried. I was actually at Outback in Norman when I posted that reply. My kids do behave if not I take them outside for a scolding or spanking. However there kids not angels. Believe it or not there out there and are allowed in public. No that's not my kid in the avatar your the unmarried 56 year old maybe my avatar hits close to home for you needle d$@/!
JB you just screwed your whole post in saying you can't choke it down.
This means you eat it, love it, and are playing to the 99% in an effort to show solidarity.
Running for some office?
