I'm certainly no fan of the little darlings in many restaurants.
Certainly, there are ones where kids are appropriate--McDonald's,
Friendly's, family places like that. Waitpersons and other customers
should expect kids in those places--but I don't go there (and not just
because of the kids).

However, a waitress who gives kids a single crayon for almost-completed
coloring books, and crushes their Oreos... that's just mean.

Are you saying that good tippers become bad ones once they have children?
