Most parents have experienced their young children getting restless when waiting for a meal in a restaurant.
But not many get the bill at the end of it with a message describing their offspring as a 'little f*****'.
This is what happened to parents Craig and Kimberley Cartin at a Mexican restaurant in Halifax, West Yorkshire, where they received the receipt which had 'Thankyyou littell f*****' written on it.
Visiting the brand new eaterie, called Cactus Joe's, on its opening weekend the family had already been frustrated by slow service and poor food, which caused hungry two-year-old Molly to complain. 'Unbelievably offensive': The family's receipt - the obscenity is the last item on the bill

They’re English—what do they know.
Sounds Like BAD PARENTING to me.
Has anyone read the article?
I Quote:
“Kimberley, 25, who was also with ONE-year-old daughter Megan at the time”
-——The ONE year old MEGAN behaved better than MOLLY.
Next Quote:
‘But somehow they still managed to take that long to serve us and after about 20 minutes, MOLLY started to get restless and a bit impatient.
-———READ THIS Sentence:
‘She wanted to get up and walk around but WE wouldn’t let her so she had a little tantrum.”
-———Parents, Take responsibilities for your kids, i love kids but i don’t want to have to suffer for your inability to raise the correctly!!
Pizza and fudge cake were also listed. The Quesadilla was the only mexican type item they ordered and it was probably fried cheese in a wrap. This is wrong on so many levels.
LOL :)
Same here.
If I choose to dine out I dont choose places with kids.
Went into a McDonalds to go emerg potty and could not get out fast enough.
God Bless Moms, busy jobs they have.
I put the blame for this solely on the parents.
#1. They go to a new restaurant on opening weekend when the chefs as well as the waitstaff are new and just starting to learn their job. Of course, they’re going to be slow and rough around the edges.
2. The kid wanted to get up and walk around a little bit. After 20 minutes, that is not unreasonable but they made the kid just sit there. No wonder she threw a tantrum.
The kid wasn’t the &*^%$#, the parents were and if I had been the manager, I don’t know if I would be as apologetic as this manager is. Let them sue the stupid waitress. The “blood out of a turnip” phrase comes to mind. Another one is a “fool and his money are soon parted.”
As is someone who orders steak and kidney pie in Guadalajara.
But how do they do on Yorkshire Pudding...?
Sure they tip, but it’s built into the bill as a gratuity. In the US it’s optional, especially as to the amount.
In the UK the gratuity is included as a % of the bill. Customers can overpay the bill thus leaving a tip.
Bravo! Sadly, today many parents are afraid of their children and want to be “friends” with them.
Surreal?
Try a Chinese restaurant in Bonn, Germany where the Chinese servers speak German!
Some things in life just don’t look right and that is one.
“After opening on August 28 it had to close again just days later because the gas supply was inadequate causing dozens of cancellations.”
Apparently they weren’t serving enough refried beans.
“””””I love kids coming to the restaurant where I work.””””””
You either work at ChuckieCheez or you have lost you dang mind.
“”””I leave NO tip for that kind of BS.”””””
WHOA..... easy tiger.
Whoa what? I am not leaving any tip for someone who pisses me off.
