The Toccoa Riverside Restaurant in the Blue Ridge Mountains slapped the warning right on its menu.
It reads, "Adult surcharge: For adults unable to parent."
No, "the food isn't that great."
Try the 'Black Sheep' instead.

| #6 When (other people's) kids are running wild in a restaurant, I deploy the casual aisle shoeâ„¢. If they're gonna scream, it might as well be in pain. You're welcome. My kids were 95% behaved. The grandkids, possibly higher, when I'm present ;-) |

| #5 I admit my kids can be messy but we clean the majority of it up and always tip well if they are. And yes, I know there's ones that let them run amok but the route their taking is going to backfire majorly on them. They will wind up in court. |

| #4 "No store food allowed in dining area." Don't know. I get the feeling there is a bit more to this story. "All my kid did was watch tablet the whole time" easily translates to 'had the volume maxed and talked along with the tablet'. Along with the general breakdown of awareness and politeness. Having been there, watching someone hand a child a PED and a thing of crackers or chips and watching the mess happen so long as the adult can carry on with their conversation has had me measuring work loads, like getting under the table to clean up for the next round of guests. |

| #3 Honestly, patrons should start charging for any and all restaurant mistakes. "Oh you brought the wrong order, we eat free." "Oh you forgot to bring us the bill for an hour, we charge $200/hr, EACH for wasting our time." |

| #2 My boys say they still remember me telling them "do you want to go to the bathroom and talk about this" in restaurants and stores. (Problem was, the youngest one always wanted to go to the bathroom.) |

| #1 ...Until the day they passed, my parents would tell anyone who would listen about the times total strangers came up to them in restaurants and complimented them on our behavior. The secret was pretty straightforward: public misbehavior would result in immediate termination with extreme prejudice. Mike |
