A Colourful Rant

Dear Restaurant Manager/Owner,

Please do not give out a 4 pack box of crayons to every single child who visits your eating establishment. Here are some reasons.

1. It is wasteful.
2. I loathe picking up crayons from restaurant floors.
3. The kids insist on bringing them home, bringing our count of cheap crayons to 238. I don’t even like crayons as a favoured colouring medium.

How about the parents and kids just packing a little ‘restaurant bag’ with some paper, crayons, toys and bringing that along with them. Reusable.. what a concept!

Yours sincerely,
Rashmi

I completely agree with your rant!

We have one of those little backpack bags (you know the ones that everyone was using about 10 years ago) filled with things for the children to do while waiting.

We only allow one thing at a time out of the bag and we use the triangle shaped crayons from Crayola so they don’t roll off the table.

Great rant!

So true! Thank you for putting into words what I have been feeling for years now!
