It's the whole dumping of the pepper on her daughters food that irks me. If she did that to one of my kids and then berated them I would absolutely snap on her until SHE cried!
That being said the kid was wrong and the owner/manager should have addressed the parent and the PARENT only. She should have made the parent responsible for fixing the situation. For example were I the owner I would have taken the Pepper Shaker plopped it in front of K.C. and said "re-fill this as your daughter thought it was funny to put sugar in it." Then I would have said (as suggested) "You folks need to split up and sit with the kids, sorry but your kids are goofing off too much."
Knowing what I have read of K.C. she would have probably been apologetic and embarrassed and fixed the situation.
The restaurant owner has severely damaged the business reputation with this behavior and I will never patronize this establishment based on this story.
