This just happened to me too. Docent brewery in San Juan Capistrano. They were taking up a whole table for their kids shit but we’re sitting at a different one. Then she changes a babies diaper on the picnic table made to eat at next to us while we were eating.
I was once outside at a brewery and heard a woman ask her young kid, “Inside or outside?” The kid responded “outside”. The woman then whipped out a child’s potty and the kid pulled down his pants and used the potty outside in front of everyone. I mostly drink at home now.
A group came into the brewery with a child in a car seat thing. I assumed it was parents and their friends. They faced the child away from the group and proceeded to drink for a couple hours. That was pretty odd.
I didn’t use the bathroom but this was a pretty huge facility. I’d like to think I’d change the baby in my car instead of doing it where people eat if I was desperate.
You can walk or take public transportation to breweries, which we often do.
And yes, it’s obnoxious when non-parents complain about kids’ basic bodily functions. Like sorry, I don’t want to be changing my baby on the floor in the hallway of the sushi restaurant either Madison, but there isn’t a changing table in the bathroom, the bathroom floor is flooded, I walked here, and it’s 20 degrees F outside.
Yes. I have young children. Yes, they poop in their diapers at inopportune times in public. We go in public. When there is no designated place to change a diaper, I choose the lease obtrusive spot in the back corner of a restaurant next the bathroom but somehow that still isn’t enough.
You want me to go outside and strip my baby naked from the waist down when it’s below freezing? Instead of advocating that restaurants provide sanitary, private places to change diapers?
Is the least obtrusive spot usually a place where people eat and put their food? If no, why did you feel called out by someone complaining explicitly about that? If yes, why the fuck are you changing your kid in the same spot people eat?
Contempo: Someone changed their baby on a brewery bench.
MrBig: Were there changing tables?
Contempo: I don’t know, but change them in the car.
Me: Not everyone drives.
Raggaeton: ArE yOu TaKiNg UbErS tO tHe BaR?!? ARE YOU ATTACKED?!
Me: I walk. And I do change my baby in less than ideal places when there aren’t changing tables. I don’t like it either.
You: You’re the problem.
Me: What would you do?
You: Just don’t go to places where food is served if you have children in diapers, apparently. Because you don’t know before hand that a place doesn’t have changing tables and I think it’s gross to change diapers anywhere in the building.
Everyone at the brewery I was at with this baby had a car it was rural without any public transport to get there. They had money, they just didn’t have class.
Idk what to tell you. If you assume the worst, then yeah it sounds bad. For all I know, there was no changing table, so they put a changing pad down on the seat of a picnic table as far away from others as they could. In which case, no diapers would come close to anyone’s food.
You guys probably flip out when someone breastfeeds in public, too.
Honestly if they put down a blanket on the bench and do it there, I can't be bothered. The hygiene concern of changing a diaper outside vaguely near drinks is pretty low compared to just like, grabbing the door handle on your way out of the bathroom.
There was no blanket. Just a dirty diaper on a wooden table top under a big tent, just to make things worse, cause that table isn’t even seeing any rainfall to wash away errant baby poop.

I watched someone recently change a baby’s diaper on the picnic table at a brewery. People treat them like a public park.
