Don't you hate it when you are given a kid's menu when you are too old?

Question

Okay, I am 14. And I definitely do not look like a kid. But sometimes I am given a kid's menu and I sometimes get those kiddie cups (the ones with lids and a straw). Is there anyone else out there who has this problem?

Answer 1

sometimes..

Sometimes the kids food is pretty good but it's small....I still get something from the kids menu sometimes.

I sort of like the kiddie cups too...I know I sound I kinda weird....

Also I get bored at restraunts easily so the coloring sure comes in handy sometimes :-)

LOL (no i am not just kidding)

Answer 2

yesss! i always get coloring books and kids menus and kids tickets at the movies and everything! i'm fourteen and everyone who first meets me thinks i'm 11 because i'm so short. i used to get offended, but now it doesn't really matter anymore. i got used to it. and i feel your pain!

Answer 3

depends if the meals come with the free drink or ice cream

Answer 4

Hmm...food on the kid's menu is CHEAP.  The restaurant generally makes little, if any, profit on the kid's menu, and servers generally hate it because it means they get a smaller tip.  At any restaurant I've ever worked at, if the kid looks around the age of 12 (usually the kid's menu cutoff age) the server or hostess will just give you the adult menu, and if you WANT the kid's menu, you (or your parents) ask for it.  I've never seen anyone given a kid's menu that wasn't OBVIOUSLY a child unless someone in the party requested it.  Maybe your parents are asking them to give you the kid's menu and you just haven't noticed?  

Answer 5

it gets releeee annoying because im the same age and they kind of look at you to see if they should give you a regular menu or a kids menu. yes the food is cheaper but i will admit i have quite an appetite, therfore prefer the adult menu. it makes me feel so immature and babyish when i get a kiddie cup and crayons to color a workbook with. i mean im in highschool!!!

Answer 6

I'm 23 and I look VERY VERY young...like a year ago or so I was asked if I wanted a kids' menu...I shot the hostess a dirty look XD I get sooo upset by it, haha

Answer 7

I ask for the coloring pages, but after i get the kids menu, I'm 18! although i'm 4'11. But i always have to ask for an adult menu haha...and then they look all weird and awkward  

Answer 8

Trust me, from someone who  has been there... when I was your age I was always mistaken for a kid too, I was SO offended one time and I yelled at the waitress, but she told me one day it would pay off and it did! I am 29 now and I look like I am in my early 20's. I know right now it does suck, but in the long run it will be worth it!
