I don't know about your generation but, when I was a kid, if you acted up in public enough to deserve a spanking, you were taken to the car. People spanked their kids when I was a kid, and they didn't do it in the middle of the restaurant. That particular change in behavior came from selfish parents as well as kids. Now the prevailing attitude is "Why should I have to miss out on [insert thing here] because little Johnny is acting up?"
