Dinner Etiquette Question

[Strix]

I'd think the parent could take the child to the restaurant restroom to change a diaper. Changing diapers on a table where people eat is nastily unhealthy, besides being gross for those eating dinner nearby.

You have to admit that it would have been funny as hell, in a Monty Python sort of way, if the kid had taken a pee once his diaper came off especially if it hit the table next to him.

Newborns especially have amazing powers of poop projection - Carl once got mom-in-law right in the face.

Someone quietly eating their pasta when an - extra meatball lands on their plate, would be hilarious.

Ok now I am grossed out. Thanks.

Fucking parents.

Or an extra refill from a pee stream.

I sure as fuck ain't going to Olive Garden.

[crazy canuck]

Leave without paying

That is what I would do.

[BuddhaRhubarb]

Olive Garden ANGERS ME SEVERELY.

what if they added a gas station?

[Caliga]

It'd be a two hour wait to fill up.

Also, I hate OG because the Italian food is mediocre AT BEST... though by Louisville standards it's fairly good, since the Italian restaurant scene here is pathetic.  But for some odd reason, despite the mediocrity of the food, it's always INSANELY CROWDED.

Ditto for Cincy.  We do have a Carrabba's nearby but I always seem to have bad luck their with service or food.  I prefer Macaroni Grill & Maggiano's over both of them, but neither are conveniently located for us.

Nearly all the local "Italian" places here suck bad, the lone exception being a place downtown that is actually quite good.

[Caliga]

Macaroni Grill is the best Italian chain place available here.  In fact, I had lunch there on Monday with a buddy.

IMO the best Italian chain place overall is Maggiano's, but sadly there are none here.

Of course any family Eye-talian restaurant in Philly beats the living shit out of all of these chains.  Same goes for the local Italian joints in the North End of Boston.

If I saw the staff not removing the offending pair I would probably just leave. If they want to run a crappy restaurant I'm not gonna bother with a scene.

How sad.
