Yes they let in cute kids for free. For your kid, it will be $29.
(Because this thread title/question reminds me of the joke about a woman who gets pulled over by a cop and and as the cop is writing her ticket she says "But I thought you didn't give tickets to pretty girls" and the cop responds "We don't. Sign here.")

I think DL should restore the quiet room at the MSP F/G SC......or at least post a big sign that it is not a diaper changing area. Disgusting!

I honestly don't get why people think the rules should not apply to them.
Delta used to get a lot of grief for the NFNW (no favors, no waivers) policy, but I honestly never understood why, I expect them to follow the rules and not bend it for others, because I certainly don't expect them to not follow the rules for me. Should we expect favors and waivers, resulting in everyone asking for them ... and then on what basis are they granted, then it becomes discriminatory (he's granted a favor because his kid is cuter than mine?). Before you know it, the Delta experience has evolved into chaos and you might as well have no rules!

Speaking of diaper changing in msp, I had some gate lice with an infant do a diaper change right in the middle of the sky priority lane a few weeks ago G14. God I really hope they sterilize those sky priority mats every so often after seeing that disgusting display.

Don't think of it as he can't eat $29 worth. Think of it as how much will you spend at a restaurant for three people.....it will be much easier to swallow that way.
My wife can't eat $29 either and does not drink. So I leave it up to her - SC or spend $29 at a restaurant. Either is fine with me.
Annoying, yes......but not worth a choice bennie for 2-3 visits a year.

A SC visit is more than just food. Also, a kid might not eat much food, but if they throw it around, necessitating that some staff member clean up the mess since parents don't do this, or stick their hands into the crackers and popcorn, the costs add up.

OTOH, getting $29 off the visit from a parent sponsoring a kid could be one of the most profitable customers since the kid is consuming the cheaper items and possibly less of them. The kid certainly isn't consuming the more expensive booze.
