[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To everyone who is saying the restaurant wants to make $, you realize at this age, 1) restaurants don't make $ off a kids meal, they make it off you ordering booze 2) some kids this age still just eat off the parents meal and don't order separately anyways, 3) the kid could probably still have a desert if you felt you needed to order something still, 4) most restaurants understand kids are finicky or have eating issues, particularly in today's day and age of severe allergies which tend to be worse in the early childhood years, 5) if the restaurant must have a family with kids they'd rather the kids are quiet and we'll behaved than having a meltdown. And don't tell me your perfect angel 5+year old wouldn't have a hangry meltdown even if it didn't kill them to starve for a meal, while you teach them a lesson, I call BS. As a patron of restaurants, I'd much rather a family did what they need to do to keep a 5-year old quiet so I can enjoy my meal in peace.

Aso, context, the OP didn't bring a kid with a five course Happy Meal to Alinea, it was a BBQ ordering counter outdoors or something. Who cares? Not me! Put down the dang pitchforks![/quote]

It's not about the money - it's about respect. Respect the business. You're not entitled to eat whatever you want in a restaurant or on their premises. How is this a hard concept? Unless it is a true medical need - and also includes the NEED to eat at a restaurant - give business owners the courtesy of respecting what they work so hard to achieve without having to cater to 5 and 6 year old "picky eaters". Go be picky AT HOME. And meet family at a place THAT DOESN'T SERVE FOOD if there are food issues.[/quote]
