Ok, the waitress was wrong but how does an apology not suffice? You took your kid to a place that isn't for kids and expected everyone to be happy about it.Everything was going fine, until the bill came.
But it wasn't the amount on the check that angered Joseph Gibson, who had stopped at a St. Louis sports bar to chow down.
It was a line on the special order section for his young son that set him off.
Under "1 -- Wing Sauce" the receipt read: "F---in Needy Kids."
The name of the bar? Friendly's.
Denny Domachowski, the general manager of Friendly's Sports Bar and Grill, told CNN the waitress meant it as a joke and intended to delete it before handing the bill to Gibson. She's been reprimanded, he said.
"I apologized to them, and he called later and I apologized again," Domachowski said.
Gibson, who had a soda and chicken dinner, was still offended.
Snarky quip, no tip: Receipt goes viral
He posted a picture of the receipt to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Facebook page. He wrote that he was upset by the explanation that it just a joke among co-workers.
"So customers with children are a joke? This place isn't so friendly. I got nowhere with management," he wrote.
Domachowski explained that he made a Father's Day exception for Gibson to bring in a child even though the bar was for patrons 21 and older.
This is just an example of parents being obnoxious about their children. I see this everywhere I go and I am sick of it. I went to go see the fast and furious movie and guess what was making noise throughout the whole thing? Someones newborn. Why would you bring a newborn to a movie opening? Went and saw a different movie and the parents took up extra seats for their little children to have extra room. Too bad the kids didn't stay in their seats.
I am tired of people's kids. I am tired of parents getting tax breaks for their children while I don't get rewarded for not having kids. I am sick of parents getting time off because they have kids and I don't. I am tired of having to pay higher property taxes to support schools.
I resent children for the burden they place on me. Please debate.
