Applebee's

I heard a child crying- I saw the mother trying to comfort the child as the child was probably hungry or wanted something.

The waitress had been serving the table with all politeness before I heard the comment that offended me. - (2 women and 1 children 15 months and 1 infant).

This same waitress seated a young man and a young women near me in the back and as she walked past me she said

"I will sit you back here away from the screaming child" - the young couple and the waitress all laughed at the comment and agreed that would be nice.

I turned around and looked surprised to hear such a thing, and then heard the waitress tell her coworker how she cant stand crying kids- or something mumbling about the woman and her crying child.

I felt that I should say something as being a single parent and have been in the same situation at that same resturaunt and actually have heard those words come out of the waitresses mouthes before and never said anything and felt hurt but why should I feel hurt that is they way young children communicate through crying. HELLO!

So the waitress walked by and I said excuse me you may want to get your manager but what I am going to tell you is that you is that you owe me an apology and the woman who has the child crying an apology becasue of your comment you said. That was unprofessional and you shouldnt say things like that because that is considered discrimintaion. She apologized and got her manager and I let him know as well that this is not the first time I have heard this but teach your employees that when sitting guest dont speak of other guests situation to make the current situation comfortable. I asked is this a family establishment? both answered yes then comments like that should not be said. If you have a changing station in the bathroom its a family establishment. If the waitress feels that she should have sat them in an area that would not be distracted by crying children then she should have asked them if they wanted to sit at the bar. Thats is just as if you take me past a person of a different race are you going to say or they are blue let me sit you here, no. Get it together APPLEBEES you are about to be sued again!
