A restaurant owner has decided to charge extra to parents “unable to manage their children”. A substantial sum that shocks Internet users.
Taking your kids to a restaurant can itself be a challenge. But when the manager is hostile to the little ones, it’s yet another story for the parents (already preoccupied with what to put on their plates). Recently, host and writer Yann Moix spoke of his desire to ban children in restaurants from a certain time. It is true that parents can face hostile looks from other customers when their toddlers are agitated, but Reddit shares the case ofan extra addition to the bill for those who do not know how to “hold” their offspring.
To avoid paying, a customer defrauded around twenty restaurateurs by faking heart attacks. Chef Hélène Darroze, for her part, had to close her burger place after only 7 months, which could well happen at Toccoa Riverside after this bad publicity. We can see on her menu indications on the respect to be had towards the team or the required cleanliness. But it’s the mention concerning “adults incapable of parenting” which shocked Internet users.

A restaurant owner shocks by charging “incapable” parents
Waiting for the order, waiting to be served, waiting for other members of the family to finish their meal… You have to be patient in a restaurant, and this is not easy for children, whatever their age. But this does not seem to be understood by the manager of Toccoa in Atlanta in the United States, who provides a supplement in the event of inconvenience caused by small children. On the menu, the amount is not indicated, you can only read three dollar symbols. According to the Mirror, that corresponds to a hell of a sum. Dissatisfied customers shared their experience on TripAdvisor. One of them paid $50 more, while his children stared at their tablets while waiting to be served, eaten and then taken outside by their mother while he paid the bill. Another advises against the place for parents: “the most disrespectful owner” reportedly made a scene because her children were running around the restaurant while they were “outside by the river”. He also paid an extra $50.
On RedditInternet users shared their disgust: “What is considered an ‘adult incapable of caring for children’?”. What is the owner’s basis for judging this? He is suspected by some of simply wanting to collect more money this way. “Kids can be annoying, but they’re unpredictable because they’re kids”, underlines a speaker in the comments. The British newspaper contacted the management of the restaurant in question, who declined to respond.
