No Small Fries: Restaurant Bans Kids Under Six Years Old

More power to this guy. If you are too irresponsible to wear a condom, hire an au pair you egotistical whores.

It isn't like parents want their children to be causing a fuss. Sometimes children just do that as that's what children do.

Too many parents don't give a shit when their children cause a fuss.

Turning six is the new turning 21.

A great many do though.  After all, even if, as the article states, parents can put up with crying/screaming longer because they love the child and are willing to overlook that, it doesn't mean that it doesn't bother them. Of course it does.  Crying babies are not fun for anyone.

I wonder where all these parents who don't care what their child is doing are.  I honestly don't think I've ever seen one.

I like annoying the Marts of the world.

Believe me, the only thing more annoying than overhearing out of control kids is overhearing two fags on a first date.  Talk about egotistical.

Lots of restaurants in HK won't admit minors.  6 is generous.  A lot won't admit anyone below 12.

No children no more families! Just Teenagers. He isn't going to enjoy this decision.

I agree, that's probably going to be the end result of this decision.

You live in Canada, you probably only see like 5-6 different people in a month.

If only that were true.

Unlike your posts I am sure he put some thought into this decision and didn't just pull it out of his ass.

He probably talked to his regular customers and I would imagine his business will at least stay steady if not get better.

Yes because ranting to the media about how terrible children are sounds very level headed.

It isn't like parents want their children to be causing a fuss. Sometimes children just do that as that's what children do.

But it's not like parents have to take their children to a restaurant either. It used to be that parents would go out and leave the kid with a babysitter. It's like bringing a yapping dog to an event and then shrug that you can't do anything about the noise.

[Martinus]

The flip side is if a restaurant doesn't want my families business, all they have to do is say so.

We don't go out for food very often with the little guy, but we have a few times.  Restaurants are pretty good about it really - they'll have high chairs, will put us in a section with other children, seem very understanding all in all.  But we also make a point to try to go to restaurants that will in fact be child friendly.  It's no fun for us, the restaurant, or our child to be in a place where the baby isn't welcome.

You can't make everybody happy.  But as you say you do not go out to a restaurant often. I tend to go out to eat with my boyfriend about 3-5 times a week. Surely it is a smarter business decision to appease me and lose you as a customer than vice-versa.

Extra, meet padding.
