RE: Parents not taking there crying child outside at a restaurant or store

My son's mom and I dined out regularly through his infancy. Grandma watched him. We had no desire to inflict an infant on other diners.
Once my son was four or five, I took him out regularly in order to teach him proper manners in such a place. He was almost always pretty well-behaved, though once or twice I had to threaten leaving when he caught a mood.
In a grocery store, where leaving really wasn't an option, I'd give him The Look and that usually settled matters.
As for the poll, I voted "yes". A business manager should have every right to protect his business from loss arising from a crying child chasing paying customers away.
