The OP alleged that a family had purchased food from KFC, bringing it into the premises of the eatery.
When the waitress requested that they refrain from bringing KFC in, the mother allegedly claimed that her children do not eat raw food.
This was in spite of Donburi King’s menu containing cooked food dishes.
The OP went on to add that the manager of the outlet was absent for the day. As such, there was only so much the waitress could do to resolve the situation.

Noticing that their exchange had gathered many onlookers at the eatery, the father told his wife they should go to KFC.
However, his wife allegedly insisted on staying, even eating one drumstick and drinking a beverage herself.
She apparently did not see an issue with eating KFC at the restaurant, pointing out that they had also ordered items from there.
When the family received their order, the woman allegedly asked the waitress to discard the KFC packaging.

Respect our public restaurants and service workers
Meeting the demands of our children can be admittedly exhausting at times. Despite this, we ought to respect our local restaurants, as they also have their own limits.
Hopefully, this incident will remind all diners to treat eateries and staff of such establishments with respect.
