Anyone out there gone through the humiliating scenario on having a wait staff actually force feed you at a restaurant? It's happened to me a few times.
At WDW in this diner called the 50s Prime Time Cafe or something like that where the theme is the 1950s. The staff is constantly up your *** telling you to sit up straight, elbows off the table , and treating you like kids. It's fun but it can be downright embarrasing at some points. Especially if you don't eat you vegetables the waitresses (who act like your mother/babysitter) force feed it to you. I had this happen to me all 6x I've been to this place lol.

Dang! I grew up in the 50s, and my Mom never force fed me any veggies. In fact, we only had veggies on Sunday. It was kind of a treat.
We have a 50s style diner here. 50s music on the juke box and 50s style food. Even malts. Don't hardly see malts any more anywhere else. No force feeding, no nagging.
I think I like our diner better than the one you're talking about.

While the force-feeding thing has never happened to me, that kind of diner sounds like Ed Debevicks in Chicago. The staff is rude to you on purpose. It's their theme. I've been there a couple times. But either time the staff wasn't as rude as I'd heard they'd be so it was a little disappointing.

Yes, verbally speaking only. As I struggled with a large entree she kept reminding me to save room for dessert. She then talked me into the largest dessert and told me I had to clean my plate.
The experience was part humiliation part fantasy. Since then she orders all my food and beverages and I leave overstuffed every time. Needless to say she makes a large tip off my large bill! I must be addicted since I come back again and again. Needless to say my weight is ballooning to the amusement of my waitress.

Sounds like that might be the point of the restuarant. Like sitting in your mothers kitchen in the 50's and she's trying to teach you manners.
As a server, i would never force feed anyone. I don't get paid enough to do that, I won't want to touch your fork, food, be near your mouth and I'm pretty sure you won't tip me either.

Going out to dinner should be a relaxing enjoyable experience. That sounds like abuse quite frankly, and I can't imagine that it could actually be legal in this day and age of "sue-crazy" people. And who knew that in the 1950's you were force fed at the dinner table

It's their schtick....so nothing personal. I'd be willing to be that they also smack their gum as they talk, call you baby-honey-sweetiepie, etc. (a'la Flo from Alice). I do wonder, however, if it bothers you, why have you gone back 6 times? If you must keep going, I'd substitute the veggies for something you'll eat :)

I take it you are not from the UK? I have never had this happen to me although I do think it would be hilarious to watch my other half react to someone telling him to eat his veggies. I think my children would be petrified.

It sounds like a lot of fun, just be sure to order vegies that you like!

since I sit up straight, eat all my veggies, and have very good table manners I do not have to worry.
