1. If I had kids I sure wouldn't take them out to a restaurant so they
could play with coloring books. That kind of thing belongs in the school or
the home or in the back of the minivan - *not* a restaurant.

2. It's a certified fact that families with kids are the absolute *worst*
tippers. They'll run yer ass off and demand just everything and you'll be
lucky to get 5% *if that* in a tip. These types should be confined to wild
life reservations and not allowed in regular restaurants.

As cheap tippers go, they rank right up there with seniors partaking of the
Early Bird dinner special, groups of women (of *any* age), Koreans, and
ignorant bible beaters who for their Sunday post - church lunch tip will
leave the hapless server not a monetary tip but a religious tract decrying
the ungodly habit of working on Sunday to gain flilthy lucre...
