I’ve been to a lot of restaurants. Different countries, different continents. There’s been no shortage of restaurants in my life. I have had a few unpleasant experiences when the outing was spoiled by a group of adults neighing like rodeo horses. But I honestly have had zero bad experiences with children at restaurants. North American children, in particular, are the most well-behaved, polite, and wonderful children. I don’t know what’s wrong with people in this survey. Children are a joy. Adults are a crap shoot but children are always great.
Speaking of weirdo adults, I was at a thermal spa in Quebec last week, and there was a middle aged couple that was completely obsessed with my sister. They’d plant themselves across from her and stare at her for hours. Maybe they were swingers or something equally icky. Now that’s what I call annoying.

The writer is conflating “children” with “youths”. It’s an American euphemism of the Narrativist cult.
It makes no sense unless one lives in a part of America so blessed with The Diversity that it is overrun with these “children”.

Ah! These are the “teen takeover” children. I saw another video of such an event yesterday, and most of the “teens” looked very adult.

Cannot remember ever having encountered this. But then, we go to restaurants maybe 3x a year, and half those outings are the Waffle House, where the occasional belligerent customer just gets escorted out by Tyrell the cook who weighs 220lbs and is on parole. It’s part of the floor show. Never kids though. Usually skinny black women between 30 and 45.
Other restaurants… remember once sitting painfully through a 50ish white dude, obviously drunk, telling racist jokes and expecting the (hispanic) waitstaff to laugh. I’d rather have the crying toddler *any day*. That was dreadful.
Have also been to restaurants where the music was way too loud. That makes me want to leave immediately.
