The BBC is reporting that a restaurant owner has apologized to some customers who received the above-pictured bill.

“”I couldn’t believe it. The bill read ‘fish cakes’, which one of us had for a starter, and it was written right above it – absolutely disgusting language.

“We actually booked the table for 8 o’ clock in the evening, by the ,time they had taken our order it was quarter to nine and we didn’t actually receive our food until quarter past 10.”
She added: “I’d like a written apology from the restaurant and I’d also like some compensation.

“I think that the way that we’ve been spoken to is absolutely outrageous.”

The owner of the restaurant “Joe Delucci’s”, Mr Langsdon, told the BBC that the message was intended to be seen only by the kitchen staff.

“That shouldn’t come out on the bill, so we’ve got to find out what’s gone wrong there.

“But we have apologised unreservedly to the girls concerned and said that they’re very welcome to come back and have a free meal and we’d like them to.”

He has also offered to donate the bill for their meal to charity.

At least the item was free…?
