We had a party of 25 in the lounge Friday night. We set aside some tables for them, we even put out little reserved signs. So why do they feel they can just plop down wherever they feel like it? There are reasons we set certain tables aside, (none of which I feel need to be explained to anyone.) They wanted o be in the lounge, they got it. But they don’t get the entire lounge, we have other customers who wish to sit in there also.
And what is it people don’t get about NOT standing in the doorway? They stand there, a server needs to come out of the door, “Excuse me,”…..they take a half a step aside, and then move back to where they were. This process is repeated many, many times. You’d think people would get the hint that they are in a bad spot, after the first couple of times. And please, spare us the irritated looks. Why is it people seem to throw common sense out the window…..or do they not possess any to begin with?
And why do people bring small children into the lounge on a Friday night? And what makes them think they can get the kids fed, and then sit there and eat their own dinner, while the kids run (literally) all over the lounge? Salt and pepper shakers are not toys. Neither is anything else on the table. This is not McDonald’s and the lounge is not a playscape. Not everyone thinks the antics of your kids are cute, especially in an adult environment. If you’re too lazy to teach your kids how to behave in public, then you should rethink where you take them.
Oh! And don’t even give us that tired old excuse, “Well, they’re not hurting anything.” That may be true in the sense that they haven’t broken anything, yet, and while you are turning a blind eye to your kids, everyone else is wondering why you are letting them run around. There is a time and place for your kids to run around, and the lounge on a Friday night is NOT one of them. (And yes, this is a bad reflection on your parenting skills.)
