Customer nightmare of the week: It’s just a hungry baby
The incident came to light this week, after actually occurring a few days earlier, but the judges allowed it because of doubts the villain has changed her nightmarish ways.
That anonymous soul earned the top honor by hounding a young mother out of a casual restaurant in Houston. The mom’s crime: Breastfeeding her infant. Not in public, but in the ladies’ room, where she was confronted by our incensed prize earner. Imagine doing something that personal in a public bathroom! Mother and child obliged the outraged fellow guest by going outside the restaurant to a secluded spot on the patio—only to be stalked by the irate customer and confronted again.
There’s a happy ending to the story: The restaurant, El Patio, apparently didn’t learn of the incident until details were posted on a Facebook page. Management responded by donating a portion of an afternoon’s sales to Mothers Milk Bank, a pro-breastfeeding group.
