"Thanks, you little f*****": Family horrified after restaurant bill...
Mail Online (UK) ^ | 2009-09-11 | (Daily Mail Reporter)

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 'Thanky you littell f*****' written on it.

...

Fuming Craig, a 34-year-old administrator, said: 'I couldn't believe my eyes. The meal was indifferent anyway but to be abused on the bill is unbelievably offensive.

'I consider myself a fairly easy-going guy but this was too much, it's awful behaviour.

'Molly was a bit grumbly, a bit moany, but her behaviour certainly wasn't terrible - so this was just uncalled for. Presumably they meant to delete it before printing but it's still no excuse.'

Lots of funny (mildly shocking) details in the story.

Those responsible have been sacked.

(That's an obscure Monty Python reference.)

It was a Mexican restaurant. Were there any Whooping Llamas involved?

I’d let the waitress see me wipe my ass with the bill before paying it.

I recently had a dining experience ruined by some parents who wouldn’t control their little f*****s.

Oh, Molly was not the one who said that. It was on the restaurant bill!! See the last item under "Miscellaneous":

They have Mexican restaurants in the U.K.? I would be afraid to eat there! For the record, I live in Dallas which has better Mexican food than Mexico!

A Mexican restaurant?

What, no wise Latinas around to quiet the toddler?

Bad acumen for a waitress or waiter to piss off a customer.
Unless the patrons behavior is markedly unruly to scribble a nasty note on the receipt is dumb. Forget any tips and this hack got her butt fired!

That’s why I usually head for the bar rather than the dining room. Since it was a Mexican restaurant, that would be ‘la cantina’.

There is an old saying about traveling: there is First Class and then there is ‘with children’. I would add dining out alongside traveling in that old saying.

Perhaps you mean they should have smacked the waitress who put the phrase on the bill....

That would have been interesting....

Catcus Joe’s? They usually type, “Thank you, little pr*ck” on the receipt when it’s a boy.

'I consider myself a fairly easy-going guy but this was too much, it's awful behaviour.

Something tells me that if he attended as much to his kid's behavior as to the behavior of total strangers, things would work out better.

This passes for news in the UK? I think Molly’s parent’s are looking to market their little darling.

Jalapenos are absolutely wonderful in a Mexican Restaurant. The waitress was not too smart, if she wished mean satisfaction, she should have added a few nice peppers to the tot’s meal. Revenge is best served on a cold platter...in this case in Mexican food.

I'm pleased and proud to say that my daughter could go out with us from the time she was born, through the present (she recently turned 16) without a single problem during any of that time. She was quite well-behaved at 2 years. It's definitely the exception, in my experience, though -- lots of other parents seem to have difficulty knowing when to take their unruly offspring out of public view and hearing. Or at least how to shut them the hell up successfully! ;-)

I suspect that Craig is a white man and the waitress is hispanic.

Everybody knows that hispanic women make more intelligent decisions than white men.

Obama will support the hispanic, so that stupid cracker should just shut up.
