DEL.ICIO.USHow do you handle offensive language at a restaurant?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I think many of us would agree that Fayetteville is a bedroom community, made up mostly of families.
We are also a community where we take our youngsters to restaurants to get a break from kitchen duties.
Some of the conversations that take place at our dinner table at home are private and can become heated, which is exactly why they take place in the home.
But here’s the question:
What if you took your family to a restaurant and some teenagers or a couple seated next to you started using language that was offensive to you and you didn’t want your children to hear it.
Would you confront them yourself or call the manager to deal with the subject?

It all depends on if they just say a word or two or if it’s a very long and loud conversation using bad language. I’m bold enough to give an angry look to people if this happens, but if that doesn’t stop it and they remain loud, I would definitely contact the manager. The manager has a choice to address the problem or call the police.
Good question.

I’d walk up to the table and ask them nicely to refrain from doing that inside the restaurant where they can be heard by children. If they continue to do it, I would talk to the Manager about it and ask that he either remove them or move them to an isolated area of the restaurant. If that doesn’t work, find them in the parking lot after dinner and kick their a@@.
