Here here (Hi Ron-bob!)  I've often gotten just as pissed off as
you Ron.  I think the thing that really gets me is when I go out on my
lunch hour (at work), and I have to wait for these mothers and their kids--
who don't work, and have nothing better to do at 11:30 in the morning--
to be seated!  I mean they can eat anytime they want whereas I have one hour
to eat and get back to work.  Then the kid starts screamin his little face
off to boot (although that doesn't bother me nearly as much as waiting for
some mother with her three kids to finish eating so I can sit down for
my lunch).

Why can't these mothers continue doing their shopping till say 2pm?
This way those of us who work for a living and get one hour for lunch
won't have to wait (and inevitably be late getting back to work)!!
