Restaurant officials told the Daily Mail that the manager responsible for writing the profanity on the check has been fired.
"This was absolutely inexcusable and it won't be tolerated," Steve Ryan, the restaurant's owner, told the paper. "The person involved has been sacked and I am planning on consulting my lawyers to see if I can take further action against her."

There have been at least 5 times in the last 2 years that I've gone in to a restaurant to find a child or two using the dining area as their personal playground as their parent/guardian is on the opposite side of the area just chatting away and not being responsible for the kids. Once, I saw the manager come out and ask that the adult reign in the child because the child was crawling around under the tables of other patrons; the adult responded with, "I guess I won't be leaving you guys a tip then!" and leaving. Applause occurred when the adult and child left.

He encounter a group of 3 white women the other day that were racist towards a black family that was eating nearby. My boyfriend shut them up real quick. The other family appreciated it.

I have too often seen parents who have no clue that their child's behavior is bothering other people. If your kid is having a bad day, do us a favor and don't take them to a sit down restaurant.

Frankly, I don't think children should be allowed in restaurants at the dinner hour, at least not young children whose parents think are are just a bit grumbly and moany. Maybe the parents should have read the body language of the other diners. I'll bet they applauded when that family left.

To give them any award would only make all irresponsible parents think it's okay to let their children act like little F*****s in public. They should have requested their food to go and left the restaurant when the little angel started misbehaving.
They were not the only patrons in the restaurant and needed to be considerate of others who make their children mind or those who are there without children. Guys, you're kid is not the be all to end all that you think she is.

We left our server next to nothing and she got mad actually came out of the restaurant after us (we had paid all of our bill) told us that she had bills to pay and "If you have anymore money (holds out hand) I'd like it now!" Well, we didnt have anymore money and were in shock. In the end the chick only got written up, boooooo! I bartended and waited tables all through highschool and college, so I understand that it sucks, but get a freakin grip! If we had given her the money she could have been charged with robbery.

When i was a child all my mother had to do was give me that look. The look rarely came since she taught us how to be well behaved children in public.
I am so sick of being in "adult places" with children running around and yelling!

How can you bring them out to a place where people are eating a meal and let them do that. If you know they misbehave you shouldn't bring them out and if you do, don't be afraid to reprimand them in public. Be considerate. I always , always encounter people with a screaming child or people who think it's cute their child is annoying others while they are eating or talking privately. I have children of my own and they behaved or I took them outside and let them have it. Not fair to others.

They were just saying what everyone was thinking about the little "restless" nightmare. I work in a nice restaurant and people constantly bring their screaming spawn who throw things at other tables and disrupt everyone in the place. I don't know what happened to leaving your kids home with a babysitter or getting your food to-go! I guess people are too lazy to cook or take it outside while it is screaming bloody murder! Just think of the impact this behavior will have on future generations of parents!!

Through the whole meal the child ran around,tried to trip the waitstaff, screamed and yelled, and threw things at people. The parents did nothing, but chat between themselves. everyone in the resturant spent there meal with shocked and upset looks on there faces and a few tables left. Not one apology escaped their lips. Not even when she was throwing things at the waitstaff and tripping them while they carried full trays. I lost all respect for that woman. It is a shame for the child.

When we go out to eat we don't want to hear screaming, crying kids around us. We aren't talking Chucky Cheese, here we are talking nice restaurants. I wish they had "children" or "no children" sections since they don't have smoking and non-smoking sections anymore. LEAVE THE KIDS HOME, GET A BABYSITTER, CALL IN OR TAKE OUT!!!

To say that we (families with small children) should not dine out at dinner time is obsurd! I have been in plenty of restaurant when the adults are acting obnoxious and rude. Families with small children have the same right to dine out the same as everyone else! And, please do not refer to ANY child as f*****s. That is a horrible thing to say, regardless of the child!

It isn't restaurant employees that should be trained--it's those pathetic excuses for parents!
