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

AGREED
They should not have written that on the bill, that was unprofessional. Thats a whole nuther issue.
The parents should control their children. Not for the sake of the wait staff, their job is to deal with the public. They should grin and bare it or get in another line of work.
But for common courtesy of other people in the resturant, children should be taught proper mamnners.
Thats sarcasm.
Someone writes “thankyou little f*****” and your check and you take a stand by not leaving a tip.
That’ll show em!
(I know what you mean, tips should be earned)
There’s a echo in here ;D
I am still not fully caffinated. My baby was up most of the night from teething and I was working from home up to midnight. I think we earned a night out. :)
Whoops! I think I blew an html tag but what I meant to say was that Chuck E. Cheese is a literal hell on Earth...
And the kid ordered Pizza...
Well, no — I’ve been to Chines retaurants in Germany that were okay — some of the best Chinese restaurants in the world are in Amsterdam and Liverpool (port cities).
Historically, the big European cities had diverse and sophisticated restaurant cuisines — but West Yokshire, where I’ve spent some good time, was always the land of fish & chips and bangers & mash.
Anybody can see that sweet little Molly is a real pistol. Of course, that's my favorite kind of little kid...
:) You can see the wheels turning behind those eyes.
I found “tipping” to be NOT expected in UK ... and the waitresses were both very pleased, and very attentive on repeat visits.
