I do agree with your sentiment. My wife and I are expecting our first and I do not look forward to our first trip out where she(our soon to be daughter) will be an asshole and try to ruin our time. I think, like you said, that there is a better way than posting a facebook post about an establishment. I know it is the times that we live in, but I do not understand the fascination with posting everything going on in your life to the internet. I think like you said a private message, phone call, or maybe after the fact (the next day ect.) going to talk to the owner would be much more productive.
Absolutely. The restaurant owner shouldn't have yelled at the kid. The parents should have been more considerate of the staff and other patrons of the restaurant, and they should have resolved it as adults instead of trying to start a witch hunt. I think it's unreasonable to expect that every infant is going to be perfectly behaved, but at the same time, as parents, they should have a plan for diffusing the situation when the inevitable tantrum does happen. They certainly shouldn't have just let the behavior continue for nearly an hour.
