The couple claims the restaurant penalized them for ‘bad parenting,’ but the restaurant owner exposes the reality
Dining out can be a stressful experience for parents.
A lot of times parents cannot control their kids in public which makes dining out an unpleasant experience for everyone present.
This couple struggled similarly and they claim to have been fined for it. Keep reading to know more.
Well a wellknown Georgia restaurant in a picturesque locale tucked away in the mountains and perched along the Toccoa River the Toccoa Riverside Restaurant decided they had it enough of parents not doing their job of making their kids behave while other people enjoy their meal by introducing a surcharge for adults unable to parent. The warning is added at the bottom of the menu.
Needless to say most parents are unhappy with this decision.
Though the menu does not list a specific amount according to several Google reviews parents are charged around 50.
The owner came out and told me he was adding 50 to my bill because of my childrens behaviour. My kids watched a tablet until the food arrived ate their food and my wife took them outside while I waited and paid the bill. Disappointed by the experience one person wrote.
If you have children absolutely avoid this place at all costs. Holy moly the most disrespectful owner made a huge scene in front of the entire restaurant because our children were running through the restaurant they were down by the river.. we were told we need to go to Burger King and Walmart and that we were bad parents another review said.
Tim Richter the restaurants owner answered back and explained that he started the surcharge a few years ago during the COVID19 outbreak when a family with nine children visited. Allegedly the children were running all over the restaurant. Richard didnt charge them anything but gave them a warning.
We want parents to be parents he said.
Laura Spillman a guest was taken aback and said That is crazy. For real? I dont think you should do it because kids are cute. Anne Cox another guest on the other hand believed that a potential charge may be useful to remind parents of their responsibilities.
