So, friends of mine were at the Olive Garden and some chick decides to change her kid's diapers - on the table next to them. Apparently no one else had a problem with it or was afraid of making a scene.


What would you do if you are eating dinner and some mouth breather pulls this shit (literally)?
PDH!

Ask the waiters to do something.

Etiquette, schmetiquette. Imagine the "fun" if the local board of health hears about that going on. Considering where this apparently happened, I wonder if the other patrons weren't just stunned into silence.
Experience bij!

Leave without paying and call the health inspector.

It's a tough situation for Olive Garden. Yes, the mother is in the wrong. Olive Garden probably had one of those baby changing tables in their bathrooms. However, Soccer Moms are a very powerful organization to take head on.

That's not a proper gas station at all!

You get the entertainment you pay for at Olive Garden, it seems.

Should never have happened as mom should have been unlazy enough to lug poopmaker into the ladies and deal with it there. Did she leave the messy diaper on the table next to the rolls?
:p

You must not have many friends who need tabletop diaper-changing services.  :P

I would flip the fuck out.





I've eaten there once. They catered some events for a previous job too. I thought it smacked of being prepackaged and industrialized. But the salad was good. :lol: I imagine a lot of small towns can do no better for Italian food, sadly.


Fun fact: The restaurant I visit here in Reno when I want Italian is a place called, unimaginatively, "Johnny's". The walls in the entrance are covered with photos of the owner with all kinds of famous people from Frank Sinatra to Harrison Ford. They all say something like "OMG best Italian food in Reno!!11". My favorite is a pic of Larry Storch with his F-Troop cavalry hat on with old Johnny. It's totally old-school (mafia surely) and horribly cheap for what it is. Reservations a must. Wine list superb.

That would be the way it would work if we had a just society.
