Should restaurants offer families a discount if children can behave through dinner?

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Don't you hate sitting down for dinner at your favorite restaurant -- and having your experience ruined by someone else's unruly children?

For some, there's nothing worse than trying to enjoy a relaxing dinner with kids screaming, crying -- or worse, running around unsupervised in the background.

A restaurant in Calgary is turning the tables on parents — and TIPPING families whose children make it through dinner without any behavior problems!

Calgary's Carino Bistro is deducting $5 from the bill for any table where the youngest guests don't leave other guests with a bad taste in their mouths.

Most people think the small reward is a wonderful idea — but then again, most of us can recall meals, flights, movies and/or funerals disrupted by children who can’t sit still or stay quiet.

It all started when a family noticed a $5 discount on their Mother's Day brunch bill at Calgary's Carino Bistro.

The discount was labeled "Well Behaved Kids" -- and subtracted $5 from the family's bill.

The family posted a photo of their receipt to Facebook -- and the story took off.

Since then, it has stirred quite a bit of controversy!
