If Dh And I Ate At A SitdoWn Dinner In World Showcase(say Nine Dragons) And Our 3 Kids Didn't Eat ? They Are Too Picky!
If ur on the dp i wouldnt! ur kids would loose one there credits and not even eat!! if ur not on the dp go 4 it!
I would not be comfortable doing this as tables for 5 or 6 are hard to come by. You are effectively taking one of those when you really are only utilizing a table for 2.
Perfectly serious. Tables for 5 are at a premium. Why have one when you're not using it for 5 people to eat? The reataurant loses business and another family of 5 (where all of them actually want to eat) can't get in.
Perhaps a family of 5 with picky eaters could all enjoy dinner together at a buffet so that even the picky ones can eat and you're still all together to enjoy a meal? BTW I'm in no way referring to toddlers, we know how errratically they eat. And my concern is more for other diners (who can"tget a table for 5) than for the restaurant and its profits. Although the server certainly loses out in this scenario.
A family of 5 with a couple of picky eaters shouldn't be punished for having picky eaters. The restaurants are there for all guests to enjoy, so if the family of 5 with a couple of picky eaters gets to the ADR before the family of 5 with no picky eaters, tough. That's the nature of the world. If it's so important for someone to get a table for 5, then they should be on the phone at exactly 180 days out making their reservation, or they may just get beat out by the family of 5 with a couple of picky eaters who thought ahead. The early bird gets the worm and all that. Should my family of 3 feel bad that we're using a table that 4 people could utilize?
Perhaps this is America and people can take their family to eat wherever they want regardless of if their whole party eats a whole meal or not. Any restaurant I have ever been in has always been a first come first served kind of place. Is New York that different than Missouri in the way people go out to eat?? Imagine if eating establishments asked each party how much they planned on spending before seating them. That is how I am reading your post. Is this not what you mean??
