Children should be served only if they are properly cooked.
The abortion industry is banning children by the millions and that’s okay. But if ONE restaurant doesn’t want to wreck thier ambience, that’s a crime?

Nowadays that ban number needs to be larger than age 5.
I wonder if some airline will do this.
More people will show up.
GOOD!!! I don’t eat out often but when I do I prefer nicer restaurants. I will get up and leave if children show up. Especially babies.
Upscale, like Hometown Buffet or one those really high class joints like Olive Garden?
If I lived nearby, I would eat there. This Italian restaurant is actually owned by an Italian. Out here, some Italian restaurants are owned by Middle Easterners.
Now what do the restaurants do about people bringing in pigs that are certified “service animals”?
I believe in all kinds of discrimination.
Amazing number of child-haters on FR. I hate child-haters.
How sad. I used to take my children from infancy to modestly priced restaurants at least once a week for dessert if we couldn’t afford dinner. They learned manners by observation. I still remember my 18 to 36-month-old children looking with horror and disdain at screaming, rude children.
With my youngest, I was not able to do that. After getting divorced, I made it a point to go to Denny’s at least once a week after normal dinner hour. I couldn’t afford much food, but in order to correct the manners of my horror of a child, I left very generous tips. . .sometimes more than the bill.
After a few months of being chastised, he learned manners in public. Once, he literally ran all around the restaurant and through the kitchen. He put the Three Stooges to shame! Our regular waitress was probably a little disappointed when I was finally able to spend more on food than the tip.
But she was always happy to see us and to help educate my outrageous child.
He eventually got his first job working at McDonalds. He greated every customer with a smile and a hearty “Welcome to McDonalds”. Once a customer entered the restaurant and asked, “Where’s the happy guy?”.
He was told my son was working the drive-thru. He promptly turned around, got in his car and went to the drive up window just to have a server who was happy to see him.
When I did take them to high-end restaurants, their manners and behavior were impeccable. . .and still are. I am so grateful to the servers at the low-end restaurants who helped educate my beloved children and did it so graciously!
Of course the restaurant owner should set their own rules and guidelines from dress code, to behavior, to smoking policy .... always.
We took our young daughter to every kind of restaurant from very young and never had a problem. But I’ve seen some very bad behavior from kids ... and not just in restaurants.
Once at a bookstore there was a kid overturning displays ripping up the books!
The mother was right there and said nothing. When a store employee came over she walked out with the kid ... didn’t offer to help pick up anything or pay for the destroyed books. People were just flabbergasted.
I’ve seen this kind of behavior at all kinds of stores and restaurants. This spoils things for people with well behaved kids.
Combined PING! and DANG!
McDonalds play land has ruined it. Kids think it is time to play when you go out to eat.
I am fairly tolerant about children, having raised 2.
But I get really grumpy when the parents let them run up and down the aisles.
when my son was 3, he threw his little purple stuffed Barney the Dinosaur three tables down right into a man’s meal and it splashed food on his face and shirt. That was the last time he went to a restaurant for two years. He was my first and only unruly child of the five.
I’ve watched restaurants get destroyed by bratty children. What was a thriving restaurant becomes a place to avoid.
I remember growing up with restaurants that had no one under 21 signs.
