I understand what they are saying. I think honestly a lot of parents who just let their kids run around all over any establishment think "oh just let them have fun". No. This is someone's place of employment. You have to focus and if kids are running around all over the place it can get dangerous quick. It seems, in my opinion, they may just want to be an "adult only zone". Some people/businesses just don't want to cater to children which is understandable. It probably just upset a lot of families and maybe that's why there's such an uproar. I liked the list actually. Wish my old job had something like that. It gets old letting people just do what they want with no repercussions.

I don't disagree with that at all. The rub there is that's a town with 7 bars in 1 square mile, and their whole song was family friendly to differentiate themselves. The funny bit is it's a seriously cornered market to out of town money, and it is where people bring kids. Because bowling/arcade, no other venue has that. Eliminate that and the kiddos can rough it at Sarges. But they will come, regardless - when it's only place with kid shit. What I found laughable was the chef/vibe/nacho/not slow/bussing station stuff. Like, whoever posted it - my business is not restaraunt mind you - I would be tempted to strangle. Pay us, tip us, and clean up after yourself. Hell if it works that's a great model.

But….it’s a bowling alley and an arcade. Kids are supposed to run around at those places. I bartended and served for years, and I would never let my child run around at a restaurant or pub or other sit-down eatery. My kid sits at a table with me and we color or play cards while we wait. But at an arcade? Seems like a perfect place to bring your kids on a snowy or rainy day…
