I cringed a lot when they walked through the door. Eight adults and fourteen children. No booking. The leader, a stereotypical bossy mother stormed up to me.
SC: Excussssseee me?! Are children allowed in here?
Me: Absolutely as long as you are all having a meal.
SC: Good!
She acted like I had annoyed her for some reason. They shoved a few tables together and took their seats. About ten minutes later, she was piping up again.
SC: I SAY! WAITER?? WAITRESS?? WAITER?? WAITRESS? ANYONNNNNNNNEEE?????
I went over.
Me: Is everything OK?
SC: No! We have been waiting for ten minutes and we haven’t seen a single waiter or waitress! We want to order!!
Me: I ‘m afraid you need to order at the bar, like it states on the menu.
SC: *inaudible grumbling*
I go back to work. I am cleaning classes, when I hear a co-worker talk to a customer.
CW: I’m sorry sweetie, but we can’t serve children at the bar. You need to get your parents to come up here.
I turned around. All eight of the parents were still sat at the table, while half their children, all under the age of ten, were stood at the bar trying to order! Who does that? The kids returned to their table, and the SC stormed up to the bar.
SC: Why won’t you serve the chiiiiillllldreeeennnn???? You said you were child friendly!!!!111!!
Me: We allow children in if they are eating, but they are not allowed at the bar area, like the menu and the signs say.
SC: I don’t accept that!!111!! It makes no difference!
As she is making her rant, two more kids walk up to the bar, attempting to order.
SC: Look! What harm are they doing?!?! None!
Me: Children are not allowed at the bar unaccompanied. This isn’t just our policy, it’s the law.
SC: Well I think that’s very mean! I thought you said you were child friendly!
Me: I did not. I just said we allowed children.
The parents ordered, and the kids stayed seated. They got their meals, and had no other issues. That was until they decided to leave, and the SC just had to have another dig.
SC: I just want you to know that our children have had the most miserable time! You provided zero entertainment for them! I thought you were child friendly!!!
Me: We do offer activity packs...
SC: They are for babies! You did nothing for them! Some child friendly place this is!
Me: Again, I did not say we were child frie-
SC: And your waiters are ignorant!
Me: We don’t have any wait-
SC: I’m telling everyone what a horrible, child-hating place this is!!!
She stormed out. Ugh.

He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
