I recently saw a sign outside a restaurant that said: 
“No Strollers. No High Chairs. No Booster Chairs. Children crying or making loud noises are a distraction to other diners, and as such are not allowed in the dining room.”

Some will cry "discrimination" over this restaurant's policy. Others are surely thinking "It's about time!" As for me, I believe all businesses "reserve the right" to serve or not serve a potential customer. The flexibility afforded by self-determination allows businesses to determine what practices work best and the overall public is better served as a result. Another restaurant could use this opportunity to push its "Family Friendly Atmosphere." The results of niche developments are net gains for businesses and consumers.

Usually if a selective organization is formed, another organization will crop up to capture other demographics, if not all those not included by the initial organization. There are exceptions of course; there's no National Organization of Men, National Association for Advancement of White People, Natural-Born American Citizen Anti-Defamation League, or Women's National Football League.


I see a policy that allows judgements by staff based on behavior to just be an invitation for arguments and negative reviews. Just as I accept I can't play a round of golf without a collared shirt, those with children should accept that no place "has" to allow them.

The thing is, everyone discriminates all the time. The difference is that, as individuals, we call it "Making choices." If the government wants true diversity and opportunity, shouldn't it require people to shop at EVERY store, trying EVERY food? Just as it wouldn't be right to do that, it shouldn't require a business to serve EVERY person.

PS. If my kid starts being too noisy or making a scene in public, I get him out of there pronto. I wouldn't want to be subjected to that, and I won't subject others to it either.
