I first met my husband when we were both working at a Pizza Hut in 1974. He
tells me that the policy way back then was than any customer who complained
about a woman breastfeeding would be asked to leave if they were offended by
this, as the Pizza Hut was a family restaurant, and breastfeeding was a
perfectly normal family event.
