Reply #176: I rarely find restaurants (or anything else) ruined by misbehaving kids

[fishwax]

I've had the airline experience, and certainly it was unpleasant. It's only happened once that I remember, though, and probably wasn't as bad for me as it was for the baby ;) A kid ban at a restaurant certainly wouldn't make me more inclined to go there.

At the same time, though, I think the animosity directed towards people who would support such a restaurant is a bit silly. Wanting to eat a meal without kids doesn't mean that one hates kids.
