A Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area is fining parents for their out-of-control kids. The owner of Chez Xue says he has had enough of poorly behaved children in his restaurant, so he is now fining parents. You You Xue says one customer changed a dirty diaper next to another customer who was dining. "We are not a playground. Please ensure children REMAIN SEATED at all times and respectful of fellow guests and the dining environment," the restaurant's policy says. "Running around, shouting, making noise with utensils, etc. WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!" One parent was charged $327 after their child smashed a credit card machine. Another parent was charged $109 after their kid carved designs into a table with a utensil. One more parent was charged $5 after a child smashed a teacup. "I honestly put this notice on my menu because I didn't want to put my employees in the position of parenting other people's children. It should not be their job," the owner said. This guy is awesome.
