PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The owner of a Maine diner says she’s not sorry for yelling at a 21-month-old child for crying in her restaurant because it got the girl to be quiet.
Darla Neugebauer, owner of Marcy’s Diner in Portland, is defending her actions after a backlash on social media among people who say they’ll never eat at the restaurant again.
Neugebauer wrote on Facebook that the girl had been crying for more than 40 minutes by the time she slammed her hands on the counter and told the girl to be quiet.
She told WCSH-TV that the parents ordered three full-sized pancakes for the child but ignored her, and she claimed they didn’t feed her after the food arrived.

That is 30 more minutes than I would have given the parents.
ReplyDeleteI admire her for doing what the parents should have done . Of course I would have taken it a step further , maybe a public spanking and then knocked the hell out of the parents .
ReplyDeleteMy kids would have had one outburst as a freebie for about 3 seconds.
ReplyDeleteThe parents are idiots - now they have bred offspring idiots!
ReplyDeleteAll owners should be mandated to ask parents of unruly children to leave or they should have to reimburse quiet diners the cost of their ruined meal. It is really out of hand.
