Reservation list
Couldn't they look at the reservation list from that day and call people?
Diners w/o reservations?
This assumes that everybody who had brunch on that date had a reservation - is that certain to be the case?
Even if
Even if some people did not have a reservation, it would certainly narrow down the possibilities to call those who did. And people who bring kids usually make a reservation, I think. Also, it seems as though the waitstaff might remember who had a kid with them that day--I don't think it's that common at a place like that.
You know what?
I bet the restaurant thought of all that.
(to head off the inevitable, yes, it is entirely possible that they are pursuing multiple avenues to reunite the lost item with its owner. simultaneously, even)
Pro tip
If your kid latches on to a particular stuffed animal (eg, Bunny), buy several copies. Rotate them periodically so they get equally stanky and disheveled. If kid loses Bunny, then you've got an understudy to seamlessly fill in.
tangentially-related story.
About 10 years ago, I started dating someone. I'm from Wisconsin originally, and I have this very old, very beat-up Bucky Badger stuffed animal I got when I was 1. It was a customer giveaway you got for making a deposit of a certain amount at a local bank, and it was absolutely my favorite thing as a kid (obviously, since I'm a grown ass man and I can't bear to part with the thing). We had been dating for about 4-5 months when my birthday came up and she had found (on ebay I presume?) the exact same Bucky Badger from the 70s except in not-beat-up condition; the only difference was that the tag was advertising a different local bank. It remains probably the coolest, most thoughtful gift anyone's ever gotten me.
Your story made me smile!
Thank you so much!
Also
nametags can be sewn onto somewhere onto the stuffy, so anyone who finds the lost stuffy can call or email the parents and return it.
Just don't take that thing on the T
lest a million people lose their shit over cruelty to animals.
Cruelty indeed
especially given how carrot-deprived this particular critter is, as evidenced by the empty table in the picture.
Awwww!
Social media has been so depressing lately, everybody screaming at each other, no end on sight. This photo and headline are a healing balm.
