    Re: “Bum Supper
    I think the thing is, depending on the size of the restaurant, the manager may not be aware that is happening. Unless the staff or a customer points something like that out, it may not get noticed by employee's. Due to other things like yelling customers and the general busyness of a restaurant.

    Something should have been said though, it's inappropriate. Although I do semi wonder if it were noticed and nothing was said because the server or manager etc didn't want to be screamed at by a parent about their right to do this and do that, and discrimination against parents etc.

    Pretty sad world we live in today with people acting like pigs.

    Sadly, as I have been informed many times my monty python knowledge is lacking.

    Re: “Bum Supper
    I should not have googled that name...

    People are just gross. At least in the case of the diaper, it wasn't left on the table for the meal, it was done after the meal was done. It leaves me wondering about the parent not washing their hands and then touching things. We used a lot of sanitizer that day.

    Also interesting thing to ponder, have you ever wondered why vinyl seats in restaurants crack? It's bum sweat, the moisture causes them to crack.

    I used to be a dining room manager (before I thankfully got out of customer service), I can tell you that this has happened before in a "family oriented chicken roasting" restaurant.


    Really gross factor, don't read if you have a weak stomach...

    Also, I had one incident of an older man came in about an hour before his daughter. He ordered an orange juice while he waited. After getting the orange juice he throws up on the menu. Then he licks said throw up off of the menu. Needless to say we threw that menu out. People are so gross. First of all it's throw up, second of all, those menus are not clean, who knows what germs, fecal matter etc are on them. They get wiped down daily, but not enough to say they are clean.

    I have no doubts that it is annoying, but it can't be as bad as when they were redoing the sewer or re-routing a stream on fenwick/south park street...for over a year we had the heavy machinery, jackhammers, yelling workmen and the daily explosions that shook the apartment as they tried to dig deeper.

    Yeah, drivers here are awful, of course I went down to Cape Breton on the weekend, the driving gets even worse.

    Had a friend who was killed in a crosswalk a few years ago. The driver sped through a red light, hit my friend putting him in a coma, and the driver didn't stop. A week later my friend was taken off life support. It took two years, the driver was caught and went to trial. They got a couple thousand dollars in fines for taking a life because they had to get to their destination a few seconds earlier. The driver didn't even stop, he left my friend in the street bleeding, unconscious. Thankfully for eyewitnesses that were able to identify the driver, and camera's that caught the incident.
