It's not always easy to fire family. But it's easier when that family is leaving insults on customers' receipts.

At the All Stars Bar & Grill in Warwick, Rhode Island, customer Dillon Arnold was on the patio as he got his bill, when he noticed that the waiter had entered in his name as "Fatty" on the receipt. 

Needless to say, he was not pleased, and posted the receipt on his Facebook account to express his frustration (he has since removed the post).

Owner Tony Ambrosio told local news station WJAR that upon learning the rude waiter in question was his son, he fired him on the spot. He added that his son is no longer allowed on restaurant property.

"I'll never go to All Stars on Airport Road again. I usually don't care, but this bs got me offended," Arnold's post had read. "[The server] legit id me as 'fatty' then he wouldn't admit it. They lost mine and my friends [sic] business."

WJAR also reported that Ambrosio offered a full apology on their Facebook page, but it doesn't appear to be there anymore. The restaurant commented on a separate post to say the son also posted an apology for the incident, but deactivated his Facebook account after getting threats.
