Kids actually love nothing more than when adults play elaborate make-believe games with them . You’re just lazy and coping.
All fun and games till your kids figure out you deceived them.

its not the quality of the product itself that makes cfa so popular, it's the fact that they get you exactly the thing you ordered within five minutes and it's always hot and the staff never treat you like shit, which is a minor miracle in today's restaurant landscape.

“the world needed you” is actually a good thing to tell a child.

I get it, you gotta pay your bills but I’m of the opinion that tipping should be proportional to how much attention our table needs. 20% is generous for two people who are in and out in 30 minutes and don’t have special requests or accommodations and generally don’t waste time.
