That being said, kids aren't computers. You can teach them shit all you want, but in they end there is always some random probability that they will do something else. The idea that a parent can always be in control of a child's behavior is an ill-informed one - kids do have minds of their own.

True, as a founding member of the Electron Club, seeking the path of least resistence I tend to leave the area immediately when screaming, misbehaving, or distressed children make themselves present. I don't immediately pack up once a child enters my 200 sq. foot perimeter.
But again, I do selectively seek out establishments that are not kid friendly to diminish my need to have to leave due to those situations.
What I can say about pricing structures is that most parents will not take children to a place that is $25+/pp for dinner. Again, it helps that I generally don't go to the corporate food establishments, Ruby Tuesdays, Applebee's, etc.
A couple years ago my sister came to town with my nephew and asked me to help her find kid friendly establishments which specifically meant they had to have at least a high chair offering. Many NYC restaurants do not have the capability to offer a single high chair that alone also works in my favor.
