Bringing him to a restaurant to bait the manager into this reaction, garner sympathy, start go fund me.
It’s not hard to follow and sadly it does happen.

You think a mom of a child born without arms needs disrespect from an IHOP manager to garner sympathy?
I'm sure she is extremely sensitive to how her son is treated and it can be argued she could have handled the situation better, but the IHOP manager is 100% an idiot for not handling the situation better.

Sometimes I get that I take weird takes others wont agree with, but this one seems straightforward

I never said there wasn’t. You were just clearly having issues understanding what boat was saying.

Making the news probably helps.
Regardless, I wasn’t making any opinion on it. I was just clarifying someone else’s post, and simply stating that shite like that does happen so his post wasn’t just out of the blue.

An Arkansas IHOP will re-train its employees after a mother says the manager would not let her 3-year-old, who was born without arms, eat at the restaurant because he eats with his feet.
I love how they don't actually show what was said.
Its not that absurd for a manager at a restaurant to ask someone to not sit on top of the table. Disability or not. I'm not sure what the right answer here is though. Honestly its to have the mom feed the kid.
The kid could only use his feet if he sits on the table. So in reality the manager wasn't asking the kid to not use his feet, but to simply not sit on the table.
As a parent, I'm pretty sure I'd feed the kid so he could sit in a chair like everyone else.
Is allowing the kid to eat on his own really worth having the kid sit on top of the table to stand out? While I understand these are likely some rednecks, let's say its a nice dinner out are you really going to put your kid on the table at a nice restaurant?

Nothing you said is unreasonable. However, of I'm the manager at IHOP or the finest restaraunt in the land, if a child shows up with no arms and wants to sit on a table so he can feed himself the food I sell, I'm going to find a way to make it happen and tell anyone that has a problem with it to frick off.

IHOP usually doesn’t employ the best and brightest. Usually just the “I don’t get paid enough for this shite” crowd.

And this gets less attention than the Starbucks situation.

IHOP barely serves anyone (arms or no arms). They have Burger King service in a sit-down restaurant.

What do you call an IHOP customer with no arms....

Its one of those things I guess since I have lived through it personally it bothers me
Likely makes me a hypocrite cause I say rude things in other context, but it is what it is
