Suspecting they'd been over charged, Kim Sze asked to see the receipt after ordering breakfast at Coffee Supreme, Christchurch.

What she didn't expect was to read a strange insult targeted at her two-year-old daughter, Micah. Instead of asking for a name for the table, the receipt showed that staff had called their table "Family with the terrifying kid".

Sze said Supreme Coffee's management had "apologised profusely" after she contacted them, but she was still frustrated about how young families can be treated when they go out.

An awesome show by the Company Kids of Impact Dance & Stage School with the addition of some littlies singing and dancing. It is all Christmas. (You'll also see them at Coca-Cola Christmas in the Park)
People say there aren't enough Christmas shows around where it is completely about Christmas - well this is that show.
The tickets are $25 and if you get from me (I have 14 left) there is no booking fee - we did this as a fundraiser. The seats are in the beautiful Dress Circle so you have a fantastic view of the entire stage.
It's a beautiful show with a wee surprise performance in it that will have you smiling and really thinking Christmas.
