(135,425 posts)sandwiches and muffins and cookies and cake and ... well, THINGS TO EAT there, and the tables are there for people to EAT at--not to smell baby shit.
Back in the Bad Old Days, parents carried something called a "diaper bag" and the smart parent always carried something called a "baby blanket" that could be spread, if needs must, on a bathroom counter--or even THE FLOOR-- to change their child.
The presence of a "changing table" wasn't a mandated thing back in the day. In fact, parents would be well advised to carry one of those "baby blankets" to shield their little Fauntleroy from wayward babyshit on the magic changing table from someone else's little special angel.
I think the parents in this case were assholes--rude to the customers in the place, and rude to the workers. No one wants to smell babyshit in an eating establishment. Starbucks shouldn't have to "apologize" because those parents were idiots and selfish.
And I don't particularly care for Starbucks--I think they are overpriced and their coffee sucks.
