Article writer: "I have a 14-month old, and any restaurant trip usually involves myself or my girlfriend chasing him."
Why would any adult take their eyes off a kid long enough? He sounds incompetent.
"...let their kids roam freely..."
It's not your own house. Show respect to those around you.
"Pretty much impossible to tell parents how to parent."
I would not tell a parent what to do unless there was a clear and present danger. That puts the onus on the adult to show consideration.
"An overwhelming amount of unattended children in our tap room."
Not good--the "unattended" part. Who would think that it's okay to leave children unattended when you're among others and where you should actually be considerate? Kids ARE kids and need kind and considerate and thoughtful direction. It's Manners 101.
“It was causing chaos, damage and general safety and liability concerns. Children wandering behind the bar, into the warehouse, lost, sprinting around the room, riding trikes inside, kicking balls around inside, destroying vintage games, crashing into customers, breaking glassware, standing, running, jumping and moving furniture. It was out of control and our staff were spending too much time dealing with children and parents."
How can ANYONE not agree with the solution that is forced on them by the public???
"We do get a lot of families at the brewery, and there are many attentive and responsible parents that come here."
Very heartening to see. I never want to lose my faith in humanity.
“Breweries and tap rooms are designed for adults,”
Naked fact, along the lines of "don't bring your children to Hooters."
“Parents need to keep their kids close by and be respectful of others and our space,” said Zerivitz. “Children should never be allowed to roam free in a place where the primary function is to imbibe alcohol. It’s just far too dangerous.”
I'm thinking that's just plain, common sense. Also, children should never be roaming around in any public setting, such as a restaurant.
Point, game and match goes to Grognerd (Don't know him/her).
@sweetcell What was up with that attack, by the way? You even added specifics that didn't exist ("wish more breweries did this, for all hours of operation"). He/She never said a word implying anything but this particular topic.
I was only inspired to comment after seeing that hotheaded non-sequiter of yours. I guess maybe you two have history because nothing else makes sense.
Cheers.
