A spelling-impaired employee has been terminated after presenting a family with a receipt referring to their grumbly two-year-old as a “littel f***er.”

Craig and Kimberley Cartin paid the £31.75 bill in full but complained to higher ups after the incident. The Cartins waited with Molly, 2, and Megan, 1, at the Halifax centre Cactus Joe’s for nearly half an hour before their food was served. When Molly complained in staff earshot, the Cartins say, Cactus Joe’s employees got annoyed at the child, which they believe prompted the insult.

Owner Steve Ryan says the responsible employee has been sacked, and even visited the family to apologize in person. Ryan says:

“This was absolutely inexcusable and it won’t be tolerated.

“The person involved has been sacked and I am planning on consulting my lawyers to see if I can take further action against her.

“I have visited the customer involved and invited him to be our guest this weekend. We offer unreserved apologies.”
