Since the fired server is the restaurant owner's son, I'll trust the father to know the most effective way to teach his son a lesson.

Why would you do something like that? I ask because there is no place for that in the service industry.

Geez.. we all need to lighten up a little. If someone called me fatty.. it might get my attention, even hurt my feelings a bit. I would let the server know what I thought and perhaps the owner as well but I will be damned if I would take a photo of the receipt and post it on Facebook to let everyone know that not only am I a Fatty but I am also a self conscious dimwit... geeez... get over it already...

Exactly, or the fatty could just go to the gym and eat better, then he wont be called fat anymore. People dont seem to like that option though

What is the purpose of calling someone "fatty"?

Firing his son and making him apologize is not enough?

I would. Being "fat" is a health issue and should be looked at as such. Insulting someone has no place in the service industry. If someone is going to use that kind of behavior in the service industry, said person should be fired, period.

He was a teenager, although it does not make it right but they can be very cruel and immature just like some adults I know.
