Italian restaurant gives discount to customers with well-behaved kids

Noisy children at restaurants more often than not can ruin the dining experience of other patrons. Things can get even worse when their parents refuse to correct such behaviour. So, a restaurant in Italy is actually rewarding discounts to parents if their children are well-behaved.

Antonio Ferrari, who runs a wine bar and restaurant named after him in Padua, Italy, offers a 5 per cent discount to families with children that don’t create a ruckus. "I have seen five-year-olds put their feet on the table and four-year-olds jumping from chair to chair, while parents do nothing," Ferrari told the Times of London.

Shockingly Ferrari has given the special discount a total of just three times ever since he started promoting it. He says that he takes this to be a sign of “how rare good behaviour is,” and a good reason for why such discounts are needed.
