Pennsylvania Chick-Fil-A Bans Unaccompanied Kids Under 16
.
The Chick-Fil-A restaurant in Royersford, Pennsylvania, will no longer tolerate rude, unaccompanied children dining in its restaurant.
In a Feb. 22 Facebook post, the franchise said that anyone under age 16 is required to be accompanied by an adult. If not accompanied by an adult, they may go inside to purchase food but must take it to go.
“We contemplated long and hard before posting this, but decided it was time. Often on Saturdays and days when schools are off, we have school-age children visiting the restaurant without their parents. Usually, these children and teens are dropped off for several hours at a local bounce park and groups of them then walk over to our restaurant,” the post said. “While we love being a community restaurant and serving guests of all ages, some issues need to be addressed.”
When groups of unaccompanied children and teens visit the restaurant, the post said, often they engage in unacceptable behaviors such as very loud conversation, often with a lot of explicit language; food and trash thrown around and left on the tables, chairs, and floor; tables and restrooms vandalized; stealing decorations; and disrespecting employees by laughing at them, treating them rudely, cursing at them, or ignoring them when asked to change behavior or leave.
