Miss Manners: Restaurant hostess spares all from diaper

By Miss Manners July 17

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am a hostess in a family restaurant, and today I had a couple of young parents come in with an infant about 7 months old. I seated them in a lovely booth near the entrance of the restaurant.

To my dismay, they changed their baby’s diaper right on their table. Then, they signaled me to come over, and when I arrived at their table, the woman held out the soiled diaper and asked me to dispose of it!

I said simply, “I don’t have any place to dispose of your baby’s diaper, but there is a ladies’ room down the hall.” She was obviously annoyed and said, “Oh, come on! Surely you can put it in one of the bus trays for us!”
....

There's more.

Poutrage is coming.

The parents who think their infants poop rainbows and roses. Can't you SEE how superior their yarping child is?

2. Appalling!

If a health inspector had made an unannounced visit, the restaurant would have been cited.
