and in my experience, some places dont provide too much in the way of boosters either, to dissuade ppl from bringing in their children.

as a bartender in a restaurant, i personally don't like children sitting at my bar. besides the seat/bar height ratio being off for their small stature, they also take up valuable space for people who are actually drinking.

to be honest, i don't like anyone who doesn't drink sitting at the bar. one unfortunate side effect of the the smoking ban is that nonsmoking/nondrinking types have spread over the whole restaurant, including th bar. (fyi smokers and drinkers are generally considered better tippers in the restaurant biz, though i'm not sure why.)

anyway, just my 2 cents.
