A few weeks ago, Kyle and Lyndsey Landmann dined at the Toccoa restaurant in Blue Ridge, Georgia, where they were assessed an additional $50 on their bill as a result of the restaurant's policy imposing a penalty for those who are "unable to parent." Following their dinner, the restaurant owner notified them that their kids were being "too loud" and "running around."

Kyle posted a review of the restaurant on Google, stating that he was "disappointed by the experience."

"My children's behavior has caused the owner to come out and tell me that he is adding $50 to my bill," the man wrote.

"While I waited and paid the bill, my kids watched a tablet until the food arrived, ate it, and then my wife took them outside."

Along with four other families, the couple from florida was present with their three young boys. Eleven kids, ranging in age from three to eight, were seated at the table.

According to Lindsey, "The kids were sitting at one end of the table and being so good." I even said, "I can't believe how well-behaved they are," midway through the lunch.

When the 61-year-old restaurant owner Tim Richter approached after dessert, several of the parents were taking their kids to the sea, she said. The proprietor informed them of the extra fee displayed on the menu under the heading "Adult surcharge: For adults unable to parent."

They were quiet the entire time, I thought. He confronted us, telling us that we didn't belong at his restaurant and that we did belong at burger King. He acknowledged that he was the owner when we sought to talk with him.

Tim informed Channel 2 news that he had never charged anybody before, but he had instituted the fee during the epidemic after seeing a family whose nine children were "running all over the restaurant." Tim declined to go on camera.
