Chick-fil-a

I had my first bad experience ever at Chick-fil-a today and it really wasn't their fault except for the part where they shorted me on my fries and gave me 7 french fries in my meal. I love my fries and do not like to be shorted, but they had at least 40 -50 kids from 2 different schools in there PLUS the parents and a few teachers of these children. The french fry part didn't bother me as much as these parents did. One of the school groups that was there were from UCS, if you're from my area you know exactly what school I'm talking about. So, back to the story, not only was there no walking room in this place today, but there were to many snotty kids with their parents (who were worse than the kids). I had promised Hayden that after he ate then he could play in the play area since it was so nasty outside today. So he was very good and didn't rush or anything to eat his food, finished everything and then ate some of mine. After this he asked to go play so we went to the play area where there was 2 other little girls from UCS in there who were very polite and looked out for Hayden everywhere they went. However, not 5 minutes into his playtime the room is packed. Ok, let me stop and say this, there is a sign on the door that has a line on it and if you are taller than that line you are not supposed to be in there (means you're too big) then there is a little area that is called "the toddler area" and it has a sign before going into it that says the room is reserved for 3 years of age and under. Having said that I'll get back to the story now. I am sitting there watching Hayden and the little girls play and then two other boys come in to play, this is ok after I asked them to please be careful because there is a baby right beside them going up the steps to the slide. After these boys come in to play that were clearly to big to be in there, more of his friends come in. By this time it wasn't crowded in there, but it also wasn't safe for Hayden because they start running around and running up the wrong way on the slide. I told them also that they needed to be careful (and I was actually nice about it believe it or not) since Hayden was playing in there as well. They blew me off of course, but at least I tried, so I over looked that and they all start playing hide and go seek. Ok, if you have seen the play areas in these types of places you know there is no room to play hide and seek, especially not to run full speed in. Hayden is starting to get freaked out by this time and comes and sits by me on the bench while I'm sitting there wondering what all of these parents purposes were for going on that field trip. Whether it's to show off the newest Gucci Bag or to show off the new Ug(ly) boots they had on or to show off their "bling" that they wore (on a field trip). I'm still baffled by this because NONE of them were doing a thing to control THEIR children. A few minutes later a teacher comes in following one of the students and tells them to go sit back down because they haven't eaten anything yet. After this all H(*& breaks loose and the cattle gate opens up to let at least 15 UCS kids in (the smallest area at chick-fil-a) the playroom. I grab Hayden up because it was about to be another Black Friday moment for this mama and I was about to go off on some parents after I got on to ALL of their children. By this time the same teacher (obviously the only one who cared how these children acted) came in again as we were walking out the door and says, "I'm about to take care of this". I left out of the room saying," don't bother we are leaving, I can't even get his jacket on in this madhouse) about this time Hayden is on the ground again after he falls over one kid AND the kids shoes right behind Hayden. I had about had it with all of the parents not taking control of their kids, part of the reason UCS ask them to go on the field trip (to help SUPERVISE) not just to get a day off of work or to get out of the house.
