It is about time, people want to have a night out and right now with the economy it has become a rare treat, if you want your kids to run amock, take them to chuckie cheese, or teach them some manners.

its about time somebody in resturant business says enough is enough-if you cannt control your little brats-go eat somewhere else,kids today including their parents have no manners or consideration for anyone else

Leaving is the polite thing do when you can't get your child(ren) to settle down. It's part of teaching manners to your children. It's a shame people ignore their mis-behaving children and have to be asked to leave.

Sounds like you guys are on board with what Cappy's did. I wonder if there are folks who disagree?

As a Baby Boomer mother and newly retired teacher of 32 years, i place the blame for the total deterioration of Western civilization on my generation. While we are the best educated and most socially progressive generation in our nation's history, we are also responsible for the most catastrophic and, I fear, irreversible changes to our culture. As we were busy tossing out so many of the values, manners, and mores of our parents' "greatest" generation (as each generation does, more or less), we replaced honoring our parents and their values with idolatry upon the heads of our children. They could do no wrong, no harm, and were/are a source of unending amusement and ego satisfaction for we, the Boomers. We, consequently, raised a generation to believe themselves at the epicenter of their parents' lives (which they were/are), that no matter how insufficient in achievement, education, manners, character, or morals they are their parents will continue to pick up the pieces for them, apologize for them, cover up for them, and do everything but let them grow up and stand on their own two feet. Is it any wonder then that Gen X considers discipline of their-now children a dirty word, and punishment as abuse??? It flows quite logically. When the world--- familial, educational, legislative, judicial, and social---was turned on it's collective head to accommodate the idiosyncratic nature of this narcissistic and RUINED generation, is it any wonder that we are in these straits!!!!

I'd love to know what the line is. At what point does a kid being a kid (laughing, walking from the booth to the arcade game) become grounds for being asked to leave? Also, what factor does the type of restaurant play?
