[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to pile on but this happened to me last night at a relatively upscale restaurant (Et Voila). Family of 4 sat down and kids were promptly handed their parent’s iPhones. One watched video with the volume up. These were not toddlers, but early elementary. They even propped up the phones while they ate.  Sorry, but I never give my kids (9 and 5) my phone to play with (even when they were toddlers!), let alone at a restaurant. They color/draw or read.

My parents took us to restaurants and it was expected that we sit and behave ourselves.  There were no electronic or coloring books, etc.  I did the same with my children and until such time as they could fobtjud, they stayed home with a sitter.  [b]Restaurants, particularly upscale restaurants, need a 'no child under 12 policy.[/b]"[/quote]

I'd be happy with a "no audible electronics' policy.  [/quote]

Restaurants are free to ban children under 12 but they certainly won't be getting the $20k per year I spend eating out. This is why you will never see this happen at 80% of restaurants fail by their 5th year anyway. And yes, I let my kids use ipad at low volume (where I can barely hear it at the table is the rule).[/quote]

This is embarrassing. You should feel embarrassed. [/quot
