You know what parents just Looooove? They just love it when the hostess counts the party of six and says "four?.....and two kids." That's right because since kids don't have credit cards they aren't technically a full human in the eyes of a restaurant.
Then we sit down and we're given FOUR menus. Not only is my daughter old enough to read, she's old enough to know when she's been rudely blown off.
Then there came FOUR glasses of water. She asked, "Daddy, how come they didn't give me a water?" I gave her my glass and told her she should assume that they rudely forgot to bring MY water.
After about 45 minutes of waiting in frustration and embarrassment with no food, we all got up, paid for our coffee and left. "Oh but your food is ready now." Sorry, I was insulted when we walked in the door and after 45 minutes of stewing in insult am too fed up to complete the purchase. If you can't scramble eggs in 45 minutes, I'll find someone else who can.
