I usually tip decently. However, lately I will be inclined to tip you less if you do not even acknowledge my child. Yes she is only 9 months old, but is part of our party and if you can't even look at her and smile that says a lot about you as a human being.

It's not like we're taking her to fancy places. Local mom and pop family restaurants and chains like Bob Evans, Applebees, Olive Garden, etc.

My baby is super well behaved and charms everyone around her. She doesn't scream or throw a temper tantrum, and we clean up after her so that the server doesn't need to pick up puffs and cheerios off the floor after we leave. The only thing we request for her is usually a glass of water so I can freshen up her sippee cup.

So seriously (I'm looking at you especially, Olive Garden servers)- at least acknowledge her in some way- a smile, saying hi, waving. It'll get you a much better tip. Just ask the servers at Red Robin (who are fabulous with kids)
