I was out to eat at Chuy's with my Wife who is 10 days from her due date with our first Daughter. We got sat next to a table with 8 young girls in the 13-15 year old range who were there for one of their birthdays. They were acting like they were at a slumber party, being massively loud and obnoxious and throwing things around etc. They also appeared to be there unsupervised because there were no adults around other than those of us with the misfortune of being next to them.
I went to the manager to ask to either be re-seated or see if somoene could come ask them to be quieter. If it was a table of boys I may have just asked them myself, but in today's day and age you have to be careful with any interaction with other people's kids.
The manager's solution was to go to a table around the corner from us where some of the girl's parents and grandparents were sitting and specifically tell them we complained about their daughters. We eventually saw someone come over and bend down to talk to the girls, and figured it was the manager of the restaurant, but it was in fact the mom coming over to tell the girls someone had complained, but that nothing was wrong and to continue as they were then glared bigtime at us.
By the time a manager actually came over to ask us how things were going our meals were basically already done with our meal and just ready to leave. As we were walking out, the only path led right next to the table full of parents and granparents. The grandma abruptly slid her chair out into our path. My wife and I honestly thought she was going to apologize for their behavior, but she instead proceeded to tell us that WE were the most rude individuals in the entire world and her precious snowflake granddaughter and friends behavior was perfectly acceptable. Then one of the dude's sitting down said something to the effect of he better not see us at Chuy's ever again to which I replied that I'll go wherever I want whenever I want and sit wherever I want and I'd like to see him do anything about it.....The mom from earlier then stood up and put her hands on my Wife's shoulders and tried to get in her face to which I reacted by swatting her the fuck away and getting between anyone at the table and my wife.
This is when the biggest of the dads stands up and puffs his chest out super big in an attempt to intimidate me. My reaction was to step closer to the guy and tell him matter-of-factly to do something or sit his husky sized pants back down that I wasn't afraid of him in the slightest to which he just replied "you should be" and just kept standing there dumbfounded.
I know after all this buildup/story you are probably hoping there was some Chuy's beatdown and cops involved etc... but after a standoff of a few moments where it was apparent guy didn't know how to react to me standing up to him I just said "thats what I thought" and we pushed past the mom and grandma and left. To which we actually got a bunch of cheers and claps from the people waiting to be seated.
At no point during any of the confrontation did anyone associated with Chuy's even acknowledge that anything was going on. They all seemed to have actually gone into hiding. I'm thinking I should have hung around long enough to bitch to management again but it's probably better to have just left at that point.
If you were put next to a table of rowdy kids with no respect for others would you have complained? What would you have done or said if the same series of events happened to you? Would I have been liable for anything if the guy attacked me and I fought back (I would never attack first), or if anyone assaulted my wife and I assaulted them back? Should I contact the Restaurant after the fact to bitch more? Or am I really an asshole to have comlained in the first place?
