I saw this on the news last week, and was reminded of it today while having lunch, listening to some toddler whine, shriek, and bang stuff on the table while his mother did... nothing. Local Restaurant's 'No Kids Allowed' Policy Starts Nationwide Trend This has gained a lot of attention, and has apparently sparked a trend, and controversy as well: Opinion: I'm a parent, and I get it. Opinion: If children are barred from certain restaurants, they'll grow up to be murderers and rapists. Personally, I'm all for it. I've had enough meals ruined by screaming toddlers. I think the restaurant owner's comment is significant: "...he thinks he's tapped into anger that's aimed at rude parents, not kids." Kids will be kids, but the rest of us don't need to listen to your little angel's tantrum. The rest of us are sick of your little angel. The majority of parents probably do their best to keep a handle on things, but it doesn't always work. And those parents who just don't give a crap have ruined the situation for other parents who make the effort. Mr Vuich has identified a market need that was not being met. He's improved his business by addressing it. Good job. Lots of other restaurants will be only too happy to serve the needs of families with young children. What do you think? -k
