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.

Parents who’ve raised their kids so badly that they can’t be taken out in public without provoking angry responses to their behavior should stick to McDonalds and Chuckie Cheese.
Another grief is letting little kids order....
I little bourbon in the baby food before dining goes a long way.

Not likely that “wait slugs” (servants) are qualified to comment on parenting, etc.
I don’t think 2 year olds have any place in a restaurant. Doesn’t anybody ever leave their kid with a babysitter anymore?
Wait staff are not servants, they are servers ‘Leona’, and they have my sympathy (and a 20% gratuity).
Not having kids does it for me! ;-)
No flaming. I’ve been to a couple of restaurants that have done that. Kid section and non-kid section.
My girlfriend is a veterinary tech and recently clued me in to the fact that amongst their profession, they will make cryptic, coded annotations on a client’s records to advise future veterinarians, borders, etc. that the (human) client is a butthole.
pretty lib response...
Well, I'm not a "wait slug", and I'll comment on peoples' parenting all I like. I'm not saying that the waiter should have written that on their bill, they should have been fired for that. But I've had meals I paid for ruined by some totally unconcerned parents' spoiled brats at adjacent tables, and I don't have much tolerance for it.
You’ll get no flaming from me! I love kids, (well-behaved and well-mannered kids)it’s usually the “proud” coddling parents that I can’t stand...
They have Mexican restaurants in Old Blighty?
And it is limousine liberals who think that wait staff are “servants” beneath them, rather than working people trying to perform a needed service to an ungrateful (and apparently elitist and snobby) public.
But go ahead and treat your “servants” with contempt. I am sure the saliva in your food adds good spice. ;)
I’ve worked in restaurants and been a parent as well. When my kids were little we decided to stay out of movie theaters and restaurants except when we had to stop for food when on the road, etc. A couple of times my daughter started to act up in a restaurant and I immediately carried her kicking and screaming out to the car until she knocked it off. It only took two times for her to realize that we meant business and she behaved after that. So, kids can be handled. Parents who can’t get their kids to behave in restaurants are going to have a lot more problems.
Having waited tables I’d say that noisy kids aren’t half as bad as the pigs who leave a horrid mess or those who try to get a free meal by constant complaining and harassment.
