IT was an ideal Father's Day afternoon.
Missouri father Joseph Gibson took his three-year-old son to the Botanic Gardens, before popping into Friendly's Sports Bar for a 7-up, chicken and fries.
Everything went according to plan, until Mr Gibson received a bill with "F***in needy kids" printed right above the $13.75 charge.
Mr Gibson posted the receipt on the St Louis Post DispatchFacebook page to vent his anger.
"My child and I sat in for a late lunch early dinner. The receipt explains for what. I called the manager or someone in charged [sic] I explained how offended I was and what actions were going to be taken. (They said) 'If you're that highly offended then dont come in' ... click ... this place isnt so friendly. I got nowhere with management. maybe you can help," he wrote.
It is the latest in a string of receipts gone viral, after US restaurant Applebee's fired a waitress for posting a note she received from a pastor online, while three women got a cheque describing them as "fat girls" from a California restaurant.
Mr Gibson's post ignited comments online, with some saying there was no excuse for a restaurant named Friendly's to serve up such a charge.
"Maybe the waitress did have a hard time with the table. But, there was NO reason in the world to print that on a receipt. So much for the friendly in friendly sports bar." Barb Cavner Larson wrote on Facebook.
Others sided with restaurant owner Denny Domachowski, who told the St Louis Post Dispatch they don't usually allow children in the bar or menu substitutions, but he decided to make an exception for Father's Day.
"They accommodated you and your kid by a) breaking their own rules to allow you to bring him and b) broke their own rules by allowing a substitution. Yes customers in an adult bar with children are a joke. Chill out and find a nice hobby," said Jay Shemwell.
Mr Domachowski said the comment was written as an instruction between the restaurant server and the kitchen staff and should never have made it to the table.
"Normally, those (kitchen) instructions are cleared off the bill before it's printed out and given to the customer," he told the Post Dispatch . "But, obviously, they weren't."
"I can understand why the gentleman was upset ... and that's why I apologise."
However Friendly's Sports Bar appeared to laugh off the story on their Facebook page, posting "Ain't no thing but a chicken wang" with commenters still divided over who was right.
"If you all think waitstaff doesn't constantly joke about their clients, you've obviously never worked in a restaurant. Fine dining or otherwise, it's just how we roll. Relax, take a joke," wrote Jessica Dunek.
Pat Fisher thought otherwise: "That's fine. But resorting to profanity on a receipt? come on...keep it among the workers and don't bring the customers (who put $$ in your pockets) into it," he wrote.
