she has the right to remove people causing a disturbance.  just like any other store could ask someone to leave who was yelling and screaming.

You're absolutely right. IF this was a policy to calmly go up to a parent and mention that they need to calm their children as its a nuisance to other diners or else come back at another time, then that is appropriate. But, to post a sign that is effectively telling families to not eat there, that is wrong.

Basically, the sign is too aggresive and should be redone in manner fitting of a placing wanting to earn business. I guess I'm looking at it more from a managerial view point as well as a parent of a larger family. It would cause me to not go there as I would think they are not family friendly and simply rude.


her business is up.

and it only tells parents of loud obnoxious children that they shouldnt eat there because they will be asked to leave.

btw, this vote is naturally flawed on a site like this where a good number of us do not have little children.

That's illegal and akin to a 'No Negros' sign.

While parents must be held accountable to their unruly children and they must actively teach them how to act in society, it is wrong to subtly threaten to remove someone if their children make noise.

Its part of life and sometimes it just needs to be accepted.

As someone with three kids of my own as well as foster children, I choose to not eat out all the time and I would choose to not take them all to a really formal restaurant. But, we as a society cannot tolerate the beginnings of blacklisting of any group of people from public establishments like restaurants for any reason. Otherwise, where will it stop?

They're not banning children so your "No Negroes" comparison (really?!?!?!) doesn't hold up.

They're simply saying that obnoxious children will not be allowed to ruin their other guests' experience in their establishment. And that is entirely reasonable.

This.

I'm pretty sure he can do whatever he wants with his restaurant.

Sounds good to me. I wish more places would do this; there are a couple of places where I won't go to eat because there are constantly screaming and crying kids at them. A place like this would get more of my business.

As for the potential skew of the site, going through the link shows that it's not us here. 92.8% of the almost 77,000 voters to that site have voted yes on this also. So we're not alone.

As a former child with 2 sisters and a brother who never made a scene in a restraunt for fear of punishment, I approve.

Small kids behave like animals. If the owners (parents) can't keep them under control, it's a plain offense to society. I got no problem with that sign at all.

They're not forbidding families from entering, they're just pointing out what should be obvious, that noisy children will not be tolerated.

I faced this problem just last night, I was having dinner and this child starts screaming very loudly (i don't know why), the child's mother was courteous to the other guests and left. no harm done, just a part of being a parent.

It might seem a little insensitive but you have to also consider the feelings of ALL the other people at the restaurant, it's definitely NOT fair to them and certainly not fair to the restaurant itself since even though the angry people might not say anything, they probably won't be returning to the place any time soon.
