SubscribeNo 6 year-olds allowed in restaurant
I think I like this idea. I have kids, and when they were that age I didn’t take them to nice restaurants out of respect for the other patrons who likely choose nicer restaurants at least in part for the atmosphere. Noisy, messy kids don’t make for a nice atmosphere.
I hope this catches on.
SILVERTON, Ore. — The management for a popular restaurant in Silverton, Ore., announced Thursday that young children would no longer be allowed into the establishment.
The manager at the Red Thai restaurant on Oak Street said children under the age of 6 aren’t welcome in the eatery.
The Red Thai manager, Craig Gereau, said children disrupt people who are trying to enjoy a quiet dinner.
He said most of his customers like the new rule, but he’s had to turn some people away.
“We’ve had to turn a few young parents away. They’re a little bit appalled, a little bit annoyed, but we have to do what we have to do. We can’t stay in business to please everybody,” Gereau said.
Gereau said he’s not discriminating against anyone; he just wants to run a restaurant that caters to adults, and said there are plenty of family restaurants in Silverton for children.
