Public's responsibility to kids
This is sparked by a post elsewhere. Someone goes to a popular chain restaurant on a Sunday afternoon wearing an outfit that displays their NSFW tattoo of a naked woman. By their own account the tattoo is suggestive (though not overtly sexual) and due to seating arrangements they wound up with their body art facing a family with children. They were seated close enough that they could hear the parents discussing the body art and asking the waiter to move the family to a different table. When the waiter informed the parents that no other tables were available the parents asked the waiter to help them rearrange things so that the kids were not facing the body art. It does not not seem the parents were overly loud, and at no point did they ask that the other party be made to cover up or move. Were the parents rude? Overly entitled? Or simply trying to ensure that their dining experience was a comfortable one?
