Assault assault, after that exchange with the b@#$@ I'd would've called the cops, just to make the point. Then again they should have better things to do than file a complaint from a 30+ year old man on a 5 year old.

Do you have any good stories about punk kids and their punk parents?
I work in child welfare. How much time do you have?

I know it's easier said than done, but it's amazing what setting limits and giving structure and consistency does for kids.

you need to practice the Heisman pose.

Get used to it... apparently having children is a right, parenting is optional.

cheese cake factory has shitty service what do u expect, they allow for that kinda shit to happen
I don't know about that, my wife and I often eat at Cheesecake and only had a problem with service once.

I guess this waitress must have been PMS'ing. She snapped at us when we asked what the status of our appretizer, after waiting 45 minutes for it. I tipped her a penny and wrote a not so nice note explaining the penny tip.

Other than this once incident, service has been great. I guess shit happens from time to time.

I almost bitch slapped the manager at a cheesewaitthreehourstogetaseatcrap factory. I wait three hours to get in and then I wait hours for food. I just rolled my eyes until the manager said something stupid to someone else at my table, I can't remember what it was now. Now I refuse to go in ever. I was with a bunch a girls that recently wanted to go to the cheesecake factory, I said I'd hang with them at the inner harbor for a few hours. They went about 15 minutes before, I went to ESPN and the Hard Rock got a call 3 hours later they finally came out. Don't know why people go to that place, the food isn't worth it.

My experiences have been more favorable. I never really had to wait a long time, unless I was with a huge party. Saturday night, it was PACKED, my wife and I waited 20 minutes. Like I said, I've never had a problem, except that one time and that could of happened anywhere.

And the Firecracker Salmon Rolls are awesome!

haha.. I love talking about horrible kids and their parents.

I have no idea how some people put up with their kids. the funny thing about my story below is that the parents are extremely nice and friendly. They are not rude at all, but have taken some odd approach at parenting.

We have friends who let their kids yell "I HATE YOU" at them. ahah.. My kids looked in shock as this happened and the parents just ignored it. The same kids punch the mom, etc.... she rewarded that kid with ice cream right afterwards!

The same people let their kids run crazy at a resturant, while I told my kids to just stay seated. about 2 minutes in the girl tripped on someone's chair at full tilt, buried her head into the brick floor and just layed their in blood, screaming for about 10 seconds until the parents figured out it was their kid....ahhahah... they looked like such idiots.....

I then told my kids..."that is why I didn't let you run like they were"...ahhaha...



Not too long ago a neighbor kid made a ballon screech right into my ear.... I grabbed his arm and screamed at him.... I kept wondering if I should have told his parents, but the fact that i grabbed him kept me from telling them..... they put their kids in "time out"...ahhaha... their kids are monsters...
