An unexpected but welcome Chef surprise appearance Most of the time it’s not the kids fault. They are doing what kids do. It’s the parents not teaching their kids
Hi Patrick Schardt, It's not just the parents fault... I blame Doctor Spock, and his dang book, that is what ruined America. If ever there was a book that the nuts should have burned it was his. Just telling a child to stop doing something, without giving firm hard consequences is useless. Spank a child in the moment a few times before they're old enough to start school. Then just the threat of a spanking should be enough to stop them, because they know you'll do it. Parents haven't actually been patenting since the 1980's; when mothers had to warehouse their children in daycare so they could return to work. They toted the babies in buckets, instead of holding them in their arms. In the past 40 years children have lost the human connection, empathy, and sympathy, as well conversation, and consequences for their actions. Look up when walking around, parents are halfway herding their children along, as they're watching their phones, they can't be bothered to look at their own children, or be in the moment. More than likely the children have life insurance policies on them, so the parents could care less if they live or die. All of this while there are childless couples out there that would give everything they have for the blessing of a child. 🤷♀️Go figure. 👵☮️🖖
Most kids who are ignored by their parents just want someone to pay attention and show them some interest. The chef allowed him to help that kiddo would be happy as a pig in mud 😅
There was a steakhouse in the town where I used to live whose owner had very strong opinions about certain things, including disruptive children. He ordered a family out because they let their kids run around and bother the other diners. They sued. He won. And kept all the newspaper articles about the case framed and prominently displayed in the restaurant.
Kinda petty but understandable. Some people need to teach their children better. And need to stop treating employees like free babysitters, especially when a lot of those people are the types that if you tell the kids not to run will go off like "don't you dare tell my precious baby what to do, you're not his/her parent."
@@kaylapounds1359I love working at Dollar Tree. We've freely babysat as many as 10 children in a day when their parents would drop them off and eventually come back for them. *Eventually*. We actually had to call CPS on one dad because they'd be there when we opened and might be back by 3 or 4 (depending on what lesson these homeschoolers had to learn fRoM eXpErIeNcE). Every day. And when we changed our hours to open later and close sooner on Sundays, he got into a confrontation with the manager who did open-to-close Sundays, let me tell you the spicy language and bad Google reviews we got after that. It's not that the kids were bad, per se, but he also wouldn't feed them or beung them with anything to play with so we were constantly having to call the cops about theft. I finally did a non-emergency report online "because the cops haven't shown up once in the 3 months it's been happening so here's the list of some of the merchandise and food these unsupervised kids have consumed since May 13th" which got the cops to show up and then CPS involved. But the only thing that came out of it was we got bad Google reviews and the kids had to start splitting up their time at other stores in the strip mall. At least most other parents will pretend to be shopping or limit it to just a few hours. They're technically all trespassed from property but bEcAuSe ThEy"rE cHiLdReN neither security nor the police do anything about it. This is what happens when parents live on unincorpated and and fReEdOm
I see Joey catching Braxton's eye and mouthing "Chef" to help the lil guy out and teaching him to chop in-between orders of Piccata. Welcome to the one big kitchen family, Braxton!
I once was carrying a whole arm of plates, the child was under my line of sight. The child was thrown into the footrest for the counter seats. He started screaming. Not my fault.
@@katemarr1984 I used to do side work when it was slow at the beginning of a shift. Then you had some mothers who took the sugar bowls off other tables to give the kids more to mess with. When I was a child, the sugar packs had different state birds, or flowers on them. My Dad would allow us to take 5 packs of different species of bird or flowers to learn. I found a stash of them while cleaning out an old dresser. Brought back memories. We were never allowed to make a mess.
@@shainazion4073 that is actually very sweet and it seems to have brought back good memories; I'm happy for you. Also, same as you, I wasn't allowed to make mess either.
When I was little my family was friends with a nice family who owned a chinese buffet place. The owners son was roughly my age so the rule was we could play after we finished our food but had to be aware of other guests and staff and there was no running allowed. If the restaurant was busy or either mom told us to sit down we had to listen or no ice cream after dinner. That place sadly closed down a long time ago but its where I tried actual hot tea for the first time (with about 8 sugar packets😂) and started my love of tea at around 5 years old.
The ending had me dying!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I absolutely freaking HATE parents that treat stores & restaurants like a playground and don’t care what kind of property damage their crotch goblin causes or any injuries that the kid gives staff. My co-worker got her wrist broken trying not to spill hot coffee on a toddler who was sprinting towards the exit of our store that lead out into a parking lot with on going traffic! Like the parents didn’t even care the kid was running to go outside and barely cared that my co-worker fell & were more concerned the little snot was about to throw a tantrum since he couldn’t make it passed my co-worker to go outside. They only showed concern when they realized my friend was gripping her wrist in pain. Oh sure NOW you’re worried when you could probably get sued! This kid had also been running around the store for the 30 mins they were there and we asked them to stop too! Honestly my friend should’ve sued the family but she was extremely nice & was more concerned that the toddler hadn’t gotten any hot coffee spilled on him. I was more concerned that the parents didn’t care if he ran out into a parking lot at as toddler!!!!
I think this is honestly my favorite of all of your vids, @alanafinewoman. The ending especially, where Braxton is so happy to have someone paying attention to and praising him; the nuances that you put into each character. It’s honestly a perfect little vignette that feels good as well as being funny and sharp. I’d love to see Braxton come back as an older character working part time in the restaurant where he was made to feel so encouraged.
I don’t get why it’s so difficult for ppl to understand that restaurants are not playgrounds. Luckily around where I live there is one restaurant that has a path to a playground that’s in basically the same area. I think most the ppl on the community managed to avoid situations like this bc of that playground near the restaurant
When I worked for a certain chain restaurant,ages ago, we had a Sat dinner rush & we had a similar incident. Family of 6, parents, grandparents & 2 kids. The oldest was a boy of 8-10 & he was a brat. Running up & down the isle,disturbing other guests & nearly plowing into servers several times. He would take the plastic food trays & slide his baby sister all over the floor or run & jump on the tray & slide. The parents & grandparents didn't do a damn thing but sit,eat & talk. Our manager Donnie was a mountain of a man & had been watching this little shit act a fool. After he ran into a waitress & bumped into other dinners Donnie lost his cool. He stormed over to the table & lit into the parents over not keeping their kid under control, disturbing other guests & being an obnoxious brat. He told them to either get him under control then & there or get out as he'd had it. All of them looked shocked & dad murmured an apology & they sat Jr down between them. They quickly finished their food & left in a hurry. Donnie was our hero as he took no garbage from anyone & backed his crew always.
LMAO "I'm a f*cking natural" someone PLEASE tell me what she did. I KNOW full well she had to have blamed him being in there in the first place on them too.
My reaction, "Look how fast I can run"... me; no. Stop that. You can't do that here. If you don't calm down were going home and I'll make boiled broccoli and spinach for your meal.
We had one at our place a couple of weeks ago. I was in the kitchen, doing my thing and a 3 year old girl went running past shouting "Yes! Yes! Mummy I just did a poo!". 🤣🤣🤣
here in our town there was also one running around like that. mother didn't 0 do. and the waiter locked the kid in the office for 2 hours. the mother didn't know until she went home and after 3 hours she came back she said yes did they see my kid?? omg...
@@ariadnefrolich7243 by us no. the rule is that if you go to a restaurant, you must have some bonton or etiquette. if you go to a restaurant, the situation is different... but no one wants a child to break the restaurant's event and no one settles the bill. that is why children under the age of 15 are prohibited from entering some restaurants but dogs are welcome. in some centers there is a prohibited for mothers with strollers
@@ariadnefrolich7243 yes...that's what's happening here. that's why restaurants also have a fenced children's area and lock it to ensure that the child is there.
When I managed a pizza buffet with an arcade. We had a bunch of games that gave out tickets and claw games with stuffed animals. We told this one family to watch their son because he kept getting hurt on the big Vegas type game with the big handle. The next time they came in, he climbed inside the claw game. Went in the exit hole and tucked down until the door dropped. Climbed up with the stuffed animals. But then he was stuck. The parents blamed us. We had to wait for the guy that owed the arcade games to bring the key.
One time I was at an Olive Garden and there was a 7-top family letting their 3 kids jump and run around while the 1 server taking care of 3 different tables, including them. was trying not to do what happened in this video. My table gave him a tip of $50 for the trouble, what a legend.
When my kid was little, he struggled with sitting still to wait for his food at a restaurant. To prevent him constantly getting down and climbing in all the chairs, trying to walk/run off, etc, I had a strategy. Either my husband or I would take him outside (the other would stay at the table), find a bench or similar, and tell him he can “run laps” around it. If he got too rowdy, he had to keep his hand on the bench while running around. He loved it because there was sun, people, plants, bugs, cars, all sorts to see and talk about. My husband would then text me when the food arrived, I’d take the kid back in to wash his hands, and by then his batteries were drained enough to sit and eat.
& this is why a lot of places are banning kids of certain ages from coming into the place of business. It's shocking how much has changed in the past 23yrs, with the past 4-5 being the worst.
I love that in the made up part Braxton picked up a culinary interest😂
Right? I love the plot twist
Now, I feel like we need a part three! 🤣
"Yeah, I'm a fuckin' natural!"
Still laughing my butt off!
Usually kids like that just need something focus their energy on
Get him as far away from that mother of his as possible!
An unexpected but welcome Chef surprise appearance
Most of the time it’s not the kids fault. They are doing what kids do. It’s the parents not teaching their kids
Exactly and also not keeping an eye on their kid. With negligent infliction the kid that much she’s lucky he didn’t get kidnapped

Who knew Chef has a soft spot for kids? 🥹
@@maem7462 Maybe she was hoping. /s
@@WxBugginChef had a soft spot for able hands, lol. If he wasn’t prepping, he’d be cleaning.
“Yeah! I’m a fuckin natural!” Took me out 😂😂😂 who knew chef was so good with the kids?
Same
If everything’s goes right this kid will be later a chef
Most kids who are ignored by their parents just want someone to pay attention and show them some interest. The chef allowed him to help that kiddo would be happy as a pig in mud 😅
He does have a son
It’s like Gordon. With adults he’s harsh but with kids he’s the sweetest and kindest

You should do a story about all the kids who empty the sugar packets, ketchup bottle, and playing with hot coffee.
You aren't wrong, that would be hilarious, but it has to have a trigger warning at the beginning. 😂😂

I would have spilled some coffee on the brat
Love the chef, he's tough but can be kind. He kind of reminds me of Chef Ramsey.
Chef has a soft spot. 😂
The upside down glasses cracked me up. This, a good one. Part 3 yes, please
Inspired "second part" I can totally imagine every single part of that actually happening lol. The chef, is a hero imo.

Nailed it with the name Braxton
Lol the upside down glasses
Reminds me of a style popular in the late 70s early 80s
O my word...when u had the manager come on with her glasses upside down on her face!
0:06 Hahahahha 😂😂😂
i can’t even see Alana running around so clearly!
You need to do more with the chef character, "he's" hilarious!
I was wondering if that would be Joe’s origin story
How is Chef a better parent to this kid than his actual parent
I like the made up end. It gave closure and hope!
That manager's going to need some shirt wine
Your restaurant stories are one of my favorite things on TH-cam 😂
The flipped glasses are my favorite!
Anyone gonna mention the upside glasses on the manager.. Love these sketches
I love the way your made up 2nd half went. 3 hurra's for the chef. So wholesome 😂
LMAO "I'm a f*cking natural" someone PLEASE tell me what she did. I KNOW full well she had to have blamed him being in there in the first place on them too.
bruh the upside glasses got me😂😂
Yeah, I'm a fucking natural!
I scream laughed OMG
Forget the kid… those chefs are going to be MADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Braxton is fast. Maybe Chef could teach him how to make a veal piccada
I love the ass-hole with a heart of gold trope.
Chef is my favorite. I'd like a whole story of Braxton growing up in the kitchen and becoming family. He deserves it. 😊
The upsidedown glasses had me rolling. Love your content.
the managers glasses sent me lol
eta: even what you "make up" is still accurate 😅
That kid can pump out a dozen piccata's in the time it takes Joey to make one.
Joey gets a helper! Love, love, love all your videos. I even watch the old ones again when they pop up in my feed.
My reaction, "Look how fast I can run"... me; no. Stop that. You can't do that here. If you don't calm down were going home and I'll make boiled broccoli and spinach for your meal.
I wonder if he makes a chicken piccata faster than joey
Eeey! Nice job, Braxton. Seriously, they sooner they learn how to cut their own carrots the better.
STEP OFF 😆 I'm suddenly in school of rock mode
We had one at our place a couple of weeks ago.
I was in the kitchen, doing my thing and a 3 year old girl went running past shouting "Yes! Yes! Mummy I just did a poo!". 🤣🤣🤣
I like how Joey and the piccata are consistently problematic
"Can you control your feral fking kid?"
Awww chef's a softie for kids🥺🥺
Ah, I love chef. A great guy with no filter, that's something everyone needs in their life.
Love your videos. This one is by far my favorite
Tbh this might be my favorite one I’ve made too
BEAUTIFUL ending. Chef's kiss, no pun intended.
I love how Braxton turned out to be kind of a sweetheart in the end. XD
I'd live to see a part 3 where Joey teaches Braxton to make the Piccata!
This was so good I was literally clapping at my screen at the end. One of your best of all time!!!!
The upside-down glasses for the manager... BWAHAHAHAHA!
Awwww, this took an unexpected turn and I am just SO happy for chef finally having some decent help around there!
Really great two parter
That was hilarious with chef.
bahahahaha the chef asking him to help, I'm cracking up!!! 😂😂😂

That ending was beautiful 😂
Why was expecting chef to say the kud could do the piccata- probably faster than Joey!😂
“Yeah, I’m a f*cking natural!” killed me 😂
Great video!
My headcanon is that Joey improves and is the same Joey who is exec chef at Bistro Huddy
I love it!!!hes a flipping natural!
Love the chef!
hee hee - I love the manager's glasses were upside down - cool touch :) hugs
Beautiful ending! Nice storytelling!
I can’t get over this manager wearing my glasses upside down lol😂😂
