This Mum Had To Pay RM6 After Her Baby Broke A Bowl, But That’s Not What She’s Upset About A visit to Oriental Cravings, one of the most popular restaurants at 1 Utama Shopping Centre in PJ, turned sour for a Malaysian mum when her 11-month-old baby broke a bowl and knocked over a utensil off their dining table

  • According to a Facebook post by the mum in question, she had just placed her son in a baby chair when he reached out for the empty bowls on the dining table. She managed to grab on to one of them, but another fell to the floor and broke.

    The post has been widely circulated among parenting groups on Facebook since it was posted on Wednesday, 25 May. The original post on her personal page has 300 shares, while her post on a public group for mums has been shared more than 800 times.

The baby's mother apologised to one of the shop's employees and was told that she would have to pay for the broken bowl. Though dumbfounded, she agreed and proceeded to look at the menu.

Here's where things kinda went downhill. While his mother was perusing the menu, he knocked a plastic spoon off the table.

Though it was just a plastic spoon, the baby's mum wrote that a waitress loudly ordered her co-worker to "check if it is broken".

 

The waitress' outburst proved to be the last straw for the baby's mum. However, before she could leave, she had to pay RM5.85 - including service charge and GST - for the bowl her son had broken.

 

I am curious on others suggestion :rolleyes:

I can't understand how the employee could ask her to pay for a broken bowl. I broke a mirror ( a huge and not exactly cheap one ) in a Hippie Shop and the owner didn't ask me to pay for it (i wanted to pay but she didn't let me do it ) but i could have understood if she had done it but in a case like that it doesn't make sense ...what unclassy employees !!!

In my country the customer is legally obligated to pay for the damage whether it's intentional or not.

But in reality restaurants usually don't charge customers for damage if it's unintentional and minor simply because it's easier for them paperwork-wise to count it as wear and tear.

 

It is her fault that the bowl was broken and even after she broke it she didn't do anything to stop her child from throwing objects, so I see why the employees would be pissed. Other customers could be hurt because of her actions.
