Including ones for sexual harassment, working off the clock and stealing from the company. Are you going to say that every procedure that every fast food chain is followed at every location?
Nor is there any but the most miniscule potential for it happening with a clothed, diapered baby.
I have three kids, dude. One of them is still in diapers. I am extremely experienced with what babies do. You appear not to be if you think shit and piss routinely explode out of their pants.
You don’t have the slightest ability to support that contention either.
If they’re not following procedure, then your beef is with the management of the store, not with parents parenting their children.
Bleach water, ohh ohh. That’s why 90% of all places i’ve went to, ‘they’ never wore gloves!!! I remember bleach diluted with water burned my hands after a minute or two. I guess ‘everyone’ who cleans of tables has hands of steal. Well, my roomy works at Applebees, lets ask.
Looks like the tables get the bleach treatment after the restaurant’s closed!
Bleach water burns your hands? Seriously.
Once again the crew that thinks it’s their god-given right to never be exposed to anything that might have something to do with kids shows up.
It’s not like every baby is some sort of ticking time bomb that will spew feces all over everything at any given second. Parents generally have some idea of their children’s’ cycles and when they are likely to be pooping. Furthermore, diapers are generally pretty good at catching and containing feces and urine- otherwise we’d be constantly bleaching everything the baby comes near and we’d need to do full clothes changes every time we change a diaper.
A cleanly diapered and clothed baby on a table poses next to no risk. You probably get far more germs from your average doorknob.
If it still freaks you out- use a plate. Don’t eat off the table- use a plate!
Even miniscule is too much when you are talking a surface that others will be eating on and there is zero reason why anyone should be sitting on a table, much less one that could drop e coli on it.
- Not a dude
- Never said that I think shit and piss routinely explode out of diapers
- Hi Opal
You need to quit exaggerating, it isn’t helping your cause. The issue with people plopping diapered kids on tables is that it is quite possible for a diaper to leak, and it is also quite possible for that leakage to have some pretty serious germs in it. And the big one - there is no reason and really no excuse for having a baby sit on a restaurant table. It’s just another example of how parents these days think they are entitled to do anything they want, because raising children is so haaard. I don’t care what the odds are that a diaper might leak - there simply is no reason to take that chance except that you think you have the right to do whatever you want just because you figured out how to reproduce.
(On preview, this goes to you too even sven. Your baby’s ass is no more entitled to sit on a table than any other’s. The fact you seem to think it has to do with “god-given right to never be exposed to anything that might have something to do with kids” shows how entitled you are. Oh, and BTW - the silverware that I will be using to eat with? Touches the table.)
In all the years I cared for my brothers I never sat their diapered asses on anything someone else might touch, much less eat off of. Since I was all of 12 when I became responsible for them, I’m thinking that you as (I assume) an adult would be able to do the same. If you wanted to.
And still no proof for all of the “facts” you had about how restaurant tables are cleaned…
Sure I do - I can relate stories of the examples I’ve seen. I shouldn’t have to unless you labor under the delusion that all parents that sit their kids on restaurant tables are wunderkind?
Do you have any proof that the girl sitting on the table is teenage? :dubious:
Remember, identification doesn’t work, you have to know!

AClockWorkMelon, then let the baby sit on your table. The “probability” would be even less likely if the kid kept his ass off the table.

ORLY? :dubious:
I guess you completely missed the part where I’m one of the people in the thread who thinks that these little shits shouldn’t be on the tables.
I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware that you were Ibanez’s PR flack 'round these parts. Next time I care to sling a barb in his direction (and there will be a next time), I’ll run it by you first. 'Kay?
Yes, really. I take it you have no experience with children.
I love that you’re blaming Dio for the fact that you couldn’t comprehend the thread. In fact, he’s one of the few people that actually understood what the OP was really complaining about, and one of the few people who really seems to get that nobody is defending the suggestion that you should change a diaper on a table.
These instructions should be on the side of the bottle that the SDMB comes in:
“Read, comprehend, post. Repeat.”
Take it a step farther back than that. What the hell is the parent doing with a kid that young in a restaurant in the first place?
Eating a meal?
Yeah! What the fuck are they even doing out in public? And who do they think a happy meal is for?
Protect me!
It’s a jungle out there. Diapers and confusion everywhere. Do you know what’s on the tables where you eat? Well I do and it’s amazing. People say I’m crazy cause I worry all the time. If you paid attention you’d be worried too.
Looking for a diaper changing table. Duh.
Jesus Christ.
Is there anything you’ll believe that you havent personally experienced?
Yes, some peoples skin doesnt react well at all to harsh chemicals. Amazing I know, but there you go.
I don’t know where this “blaming” comes in. In fact, I take full responsibility for not fully reading this masterful dialog on diapered babies on restaurant tables before I responded. If that’s the worse thing I do this week, I guess I can live with myself.
