If where you want to eat by yourself has a kids menu, and you aren't old enough to age out of the kids menu, you can't go there by yourself.

im 16 and i always feel bad about leaving the table dirty at a restaurant bc im like man i aint tryin to make nobodys long day harder it’ll take me like a minute or 2 to straighten things up so i do it, even if thats just brushing off crumbs into the trash/on the plates & stacking the dishes so they’re easier to grab

[@thornprick2645]

Oh yeah I always way over tipped when I was a tween. I also didn't have expenses though lol. But yeah it was out of social anxiety/respectfulness/etc. One time I remember getting something pretty inexpensive and dining alone and when I realized the tip would be so cheap I felt weird at the prospect of giving like, a dollar or whatever 18-20% of my meal was, and ended up giving a 100% tip lmao. I still clean the table and give the upper side of normal-sized tips, though. The latter of which also means I do not go out frequently unless I'm with my grandparents or something.

[@symphony_in_plaid4592]

yeah I'm definitely that person who stacks all the plates and puts the garbage and silverware on only the top plate and says an awkward number of "thank yous" to every employee I see on the way out 😂😂

[@maps2468]

i went to mall with my friends in 7th grade, we went there to get dinner after our field trip, our art teachers (it was an art club trip) just released a bunch of rowdy preteens in a mall so that went as one would expect. None of us had a lot of money? But it felt kinda cool but also awkward to go and buy stuff? I dont know if any other kids ate at like an actual restaurant but my friends and i all got panda express and fro yo. Trying to buy anything was hectic as hell. I would not let 13 year old me go into a mall restaurant with my friends. Nope

[@justinmccurry9633]

When I was a kid (probably 10) I remember going to the grocery store with my cousin I’m the day time during the week and the employee said something to the effect of “don’t you need to be in school or something?” We were staying with my grandma and yes we were skipping school because we had family visiting. We quickly bought our candy and soda and ran home and the whole way we both thought we were going to have the cops called on and be arrested.

[@shiny9836]

for my friend’s 17th birthday, he and 5 friends (including me), went to cracker barrel. we wanted to tip the waiter really well because of how insane we’d been, so we wanted to tip him 20 dollars. we hand the bill to the birthday boy to tip, saying ‘hand it right to him so he doesn’t get taxed on it’, and the Birthday Boy decided to fold up the bill in his palm and discreetly slip it to the waiter as if he were participating in a drug deal. the birthday boy nodded and winked as he was doing so.

[@TKZells16]

I once tried to order dinner at a Dennys by myself at 14, at 3 in the afternoon. In hindsight I looked much younger than my age and I'm surprised that neither of the two waiter that were there didn't say anything when they saw this child in a school uniform sit alone in a Dennys.

[@Jeremy-vp8bd]

When I was like 14 all my friends would go out to eat at regular restaurants and it didn’t exactly feel weird at the time but in hindsight 4 8th graders getting a table at Applebee’s was kinda weird. Basically if you have a menu that’s not on the wall or if it’s the type of place where they ask “table or booth” you should be in high school at the very least.
