We know our kids are delightful and adorable, but as much as we like having them around, there are times we need a break from the action. And some restaurants and cafรฉs feel the same way about the precious bundles of joy, so they donโt allow them inside. But one cafรฉ in the U.K. has lots of folks upset after banning kids under 12, but keeping an open-door policy for dogs.
When customer Wendy Moore found out about the new rule at The Chart Room in England, she was very angry and wrote to the local news saying she plans to boycott the business because of their no kids policy. She writes, โCan anyone tell me just what kind of town weโre living in when dogs are allowed into an establishment and children are not?โ
And of course, she wasnโt the only one upset by the policy. Others say they wonโt be going to The Chart Room either, with or without their kids. And one said sheโd like to โban loud adults swearing from cafรฉs, too.โ
But some folks are excited about the idea of a space thatโs free from loud little ones. โDogs donโt throw tantrums or throw stuff around and tend to listen better than a two year old,โ someone points out. Owner Bog Higginson defends his decision, saying he โsimply wanted to create a nice quiet zone where grown ups could sit, relax, and enjoy the quiet atmosphere.โ
Hey, itโs his cafรฉ, so he can make any rules he wants. And not everyone has to like it.
