In this case, with the exception of that pathetic 'yo, I is down with the kidz, innit?' z, I'm afraid the sign is correct. It is referring to purchases of A kid's meal rather than kids' meals, therefore it is in the singular and should have the apostrophe between the d and s (or z!).

It seems to me that it would be something of a gray area, as one would, presuambly, be purchasing one meal per kid.

That aside, the 'z' thing is just annoyingly twee.
