We called the manager over, explained what had happened and asked for the check to pay for the drinks but he said they were on the house and we left. As we were walking out, our server chased us outside and told us we forgot to leave her tip and then started screaming at us when we told her we had not forgotten and she didn't deserve one.
LOL, I'd have told her that the tip was that you were going to tell everyone you knew not to dine there.

I don't like confrontation, particularly when I think it will be pointless. It is the restaurant manager's responsibility to assure an appropriate dining environment.
I don't care for confrontation either, but sometimes, parents need to be told in no uncertain terms that their kids are brats and ruining a wonderful experience for others. I just don't necessarily see managers phrasing it in ways said parents might understand.
