A restaurant in the US is charging some of its customers for their inability to control their children while they dine there.
Hidden away at the bottom of its menu, the Toccoa Riverside Restaurant tells its diners of its "adult surcharge" - adding three dollar signs next to the words: "For adults unable to parent".
The menu adds: "No respect, no service."
For some diners, they found out the hard way - saying they were sprung with the charge as they tried to settle their bill.
Kyle Landmann left a review online, and said: "The owner came out and told me he was adding $50 (£41) to my bill because of my children's behaviour.
Well, I guess it's not too bad an idea, as long as: a) they're upfront and transparent about it, and b) they give customers a reasonable warning before slapping them with the charge. Although judging from some of the complaints, they haven't been doing this .
And of course, if their goal is to create a more peaceful venue... angering parents like this might create even more of a disturbance than the children themselves do!
