One time I caught a pair of kids licking all of the icing off of all the cupcakes in a dessert case of the IKEA restaurant. The parents were across the dining area which is basically on the other side of the building lol

There are few justifiable reasons for yeeting someone else’s child into traffic…
A surprising mark on today’s bingo card achieved.

Every day I’m reminded of how I’m glad my wife and I never had kids. More power to ya if you can be a good parent – seems more than half can’t.

I wonder if it was a “I like licking salt and spices” move
Or a “I’m a ‘mischievous’ little shit” move

Hell, my dad use to just rub the lid off on his shirt.
Yeah, I was a lid licker. Yes, I wear the shame daily.

got my subs mixed up and thought these were weird plugs from the r/stretched. but that’s absolutely foul. at my spot we have little glasses for parm and red pepper flakes with little spoons. servers say they see grown adults eating parm with the spoons at least a couple times a week.

“Why do people sigh when I bring my crotch goblins in ?”
Mothers who’s kids eat like the cookie monster on ketamine and leave a giant mess with zero effort or apologises towards cleaning

First time I smoked too much I was just hanging out at my fridge door for what felt like 30 minutes just squirting condiments directly into my mouth.
I don’t condone it but I do understand the kid.

I had a teenager basically do the same and consumed the rest of a parm shaker (little more than half full, typical glass shaker) in the middle of a lunch rush in front of his friends. Not sure if it was a bet or a, “guys, watch this,” moment. Nevertheless- children are still considered children if they act childish around people without their parents around

I one saw a grown ass man drinking ketchup right out of the damn bottle. I snatched it out of his hand, gave him my best “say something” look, and took it back to wash it out and refill it. So if you’re wondering what that little girl’s going to grow into…

Speaking as – a previous degenerate kid who participated in a soy sauce chugging contest at a fine dining establishment – you can’t always blame the parents. As Jeff Foxworthy said, “momma was great – daddy was great – I’m just a shit head”. I’ve only worked medium casual locations so idgaf about most bs in general. You can’t take it personally at the end of the day it’s just a job. Those shakers haven’t been washed in 5 years they did you a favor

I was at a pizza restaurant and a little kid started licking a parm top. It was the owners kid and the owner yelled “NO, not again!”

I had to let the manager of an Applebee’s know that a child was doing that to all of their seasoning shakers as well
She was very appreciative because they would have had no way to know otherwise

I’ve seen grown ass adults use a butter knife to get ketchup, then spread it on a bun, lick the butter knife and stick it back in the ketchup bottle. I am pretty sure I have a moderate case of agoraphobia, fuck most people.

Caught my old cat doing the same thing.

We are a fish n chips shop right off the beach and once someone filled one of our pepper shakers with sand.

Ngl. As a kid if I had access to a parm Shaker I woulda probs done the same. Though I had the tact to shake it into my hand before licking it off i guess

A month ago I watched a 3/4 year old kid wield two of our soy sauce bottles out of the table caddies and alternate sucking and drinking the soy sauce out of each. Dad at the table right next to her, watching but distracted with phone. Kid kept trying to get dad to watch her chug the soy sauce.
I walked over and kindly asked the kid to give me the bottles (which she did with a smile) and I turned to the dad and said, smiling, “hello, I’m just gonna take these away for now so that we’re not sucking on them okay” and oh boy he did not like that! Proceeded to throw a big tantrum.
He made his wife to come say something to me and then made multiple comments about me to my other staff. He also stormed out huffing and puffing when they left.
His wife was really nice and I explained to her it was probably not a good idea to drink soy sauce because it’s a lot of salt and also contains alcohol. She said her kid is a sauce feind and “always does that” everywhere they go, and that she promised they wouldn’t suck on the bottles anymore.
The bottles were thoroughly sanitised before being refilled and put back out.

Those things are going through the dishwashing machine twice before they’re hosed down with the nozzle, then they’re ready for a third cycle. Utterly disgusting.

We have a public facing tea urn. Once caught a kid with his mouth on the nozzle drinking out of it. I had just made that batch of tea 😔

Once saw a kid put the whole nozzle of one of those classic ketchup squeeze bottles in his mouth and drink it. Immediately told our waiter. Parents noticed him doing it but didn’t make him stop

I’m sorry, this is so fucking funny 😭
eyoitme
oh when i see a small child so much as reach for a shaker at the italian place i work at it immediately goes to the wash after they leave because any child that touches a shaker just has the uncontrollable urge to put it in their mouth i swear bc they do it every. single. time.
