We had two OBNOXIOUS children in a booth near us at a Mexican restaurant
one night. Screaming and running around. I have been going to this
restaurant chain for decades. When I complained to the manager, she said,
"This IS a family restaurant." I did the meanest nastiest thing I could.
I told her that she would get no more of my business, that I would bring
no more family or guests to the restaurant, and would not suggest it when
asked for a good Mexican restaurant.

Screw the manager, I tell the parents face to face and that usually works
remarkabley well.
