A restaurant in Pennsylvania has effectively banned allowing children below six years old inside their establishment, as the owner has been receiving emails that the young children have been bothering his other customers as they eat their meals.
His decision to put such a ban has been met by the community with support. Which got a lot of parents wondering what this may mean and if other establishments are going to follow in the example.
As a consumer, I do feel the plight of the owner and his concern for his other clients. Though it has never happened to me, I’ve known of complaints from friends who have had their meals disrupted because of a child.
As a parent, however, I’m in on it both sides. On one hand, I feel it’s unfair and discriminating to families with small children. On the other hand, I feel ashamed because it’s a reflection of how some parents have not been able to teach their kids good manners and proper conduct in public. I firmly believe that if parents are able to raise well-behaved kids, this would not be such a concern by the public.
Many establishment all across the United States have a ban on children. This is especially true for some hotels, which specifically cater to adults only.
Some international airlines also impose bans on infants in its first class lounge because the rest of the passengers cannot sleep during a long flight when a baby is constantly crying.
