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.'

I used to travel to the Netherlands regularly as I worked for a Dutch company. The small down (near Maastricht) had a Mexican Restaurant, I avoided it at first. But after finally trying it I was very impressed with the food. It was not the traditional Sonoran style Mexican food you see in most Mexican restaurants, but it was actually quite good. Different, but good.
Sounds like a plan!!
Well...clearly English was not her first language or at least English spelling was NOT her first language! LOL!

He said: 'This was absolutely inexcusable and it won't be tolerated. The person involved has been sacked and I am planning on consulting my lawyers to see if I can take further action against her.
This story rates a round-the-world trip via the internet?
Sure, it's a slow news day...
It appears that the child got antsy while waiting for food. The parents chose opening weekend of a new restaurant, big mistake. I never go to a new restaurant until it has been open a few weeks. You get slow service, mistakes, etc. I can’t imagine taking a toddler.
The Terrible Two’s.
But when they’re that cute, they can usually get away with anything.
At least it was not billed!
During my 1970 tour of England, I ate once at an English restaurant. The rest of the time I ate at Chinese and Italian restaurants. It would not surprise to find Mexican restaurants. Apparently, the English haven't got the foggiest view when it comes to food.
I like that, lol.( Most won't 'get it')

Early 70's, I drove a carload of Killeen HS students for finals football game in Cotton Bowl, Dallas. They wanted dinner at El Chico's and ordered Mexican. I wanted chicken. They got their Mexican, an indifferent offering, and we waited, waited, waited for my chicken. When it came, it was the most dessiccated chicken I have ever seen. The wait must have been for the poor thing to walk all the way from Mexico and lost all its meat on the way.
The students kidded me about that pitiful chicken for weeks.
Moral--never order anything but Mexican in a Mexican restaurant--they can't handle it.
Even earlier --1952, I was in school in Waxahachie, TX and we went to eat often in Dallas--Red Bryan's Smokehouse or BB-Que--is it still around?

Some restaurants in Germany allow dogs but not children. My German relatives say that’s because German dogs are better behaved than a lot of German children. :-)
....’Thankyyou littell f*****’ written on it.

Based on the spelling, I am thinking this is not a native-born speaker of English....
