There’s a lot of effort and disruption put into making anything that isn’t sweatpants not uncomfortable for the actor. There is nothing necessary or reasonable about the clothes we put actors in.

This article starts off with whether actors should have to wear them, called them outmoded, and then softpedaled. I have real beef with the cycle of think pieces that come out talking about how actresses need to be liberated from the corset every time a show with a countess comes out.

Okay, I have a few opinions here. For one, I’m a Costumer for film & TV, and know Dr. McKnight personally. Corsets are not tools of the patriarchy, and I’m pretty sick of that as a talking point. They are not outmoded garments. They are just support garments that need to fit properly.

34 boxes?  What are you going to eat when June gets here?

I have two nieces.

I have no problem at all with this. Businesses have the right to refuse service - children are not a legally protected class. There are plenty of other restaurants that parents can take their children to.

This is the reasonable way. We could handle fancy when younger - a number of kids cannot. But fancy was still a rare treat (probably making it easier for us to understand the need for extra decorum). Know your kids and consider others.

The people complaining are the reason for the ban. 

Cool!  Now do dogs!

I live not too far from Nettie’s and I plan on going there soon after hearing of their new policy and seeing some of the backlash around it. I really do applaud it. Not every establishment was meant to service all ages. Just in the surrounding area alone, I see so families at breweries, distilleries and wineries. Some…

I don’t really see this as a ban on kids, but rather a ban of the parents who “do not take charge of their children’s negative antics, have no empathy for the people around them, and who may even go full Karen-mode on people who might ask them to exercise some common decency and reign in a misbehaving child.”

It is a slowly growing trend.

My mother had a policy of “Don’t do anything to embarrass me”. And we quickly learned what that meant, as she had no problem with walking the disruptive child out while leaving the others with the other adults. Dinner, movies, shopping (she promised to make the years clothes for the kid who screwed up here) - she…

I’m not talking about Chipotle or Applebees, but kids in nicer restaurants where you’re trying to have “an experience” are like second hand smoke. If I wanted to smell cigarettes while I eat I’d take up smoking and if I wanted to listen to kids screwing around I’d have kids. Their presence is devaluing everyone…

My son is a ninth grader now, and we never had any problem with him when we took him to restaurants when he was much younger. Not a single time. And I agree with this restaurant’s choice.

I am old, but if I hadn't been able to stay in my seat without disturbing other patrons, I would have been left at home with a sitter. My experience is that people 20 or 30 years younger than me don't necessarily feel the same.

I worked at a Chuck E Cheese years back. I specifically was an “arcade attendant”, and learned very quickly to put a thick pad of game tokens in the mandated apron in such a way as to provide armor for my groin.

I’ve been there, carrying trays with 10 dinners on my shoulder and kids running around and into my legs... to the point where I walked up to the parents and stated “your kids have almost knocked me over twice FROM BEHIND, if they get hurt, it’s not our fault”

Good.

Just another manufactured internet outrage. As Bill said, “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
