Lubbock restaurants are considering adopting policies against unruly children after a California restaurant made headlines for its strict ‘bad behavior’ policy. Chez Xue, a restaurant in Foster City, California, recently went viral for its policy that requires children to remain seated at all times and be respectful of fellow guests and the dining environment.
Why Bad Kids Are A Bad Problem At Restaurants
Ask any server in Lubbock, and they probably have horror stories involving naughty kids. Kids left to run around create a dangerous hazard for servers holding hot and heavy plates. And the table that lets their child drop all their food on the floor? They probably tipped less than 10%.
Every single child has their moments, and some children have special needs that may cause some outbursts. What gets under people’s skin are children who are being entitled and naughty, and the parents who can’t be bothered to control them.
Making Dining A Learning Opportunity
When I was a child, going out to eat was a very special occasion, one that demanded the absolute best behavior, from putting my napkin in my lap to keeping my elbows off the table. Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone, including the child, to make dining out something special again? Or, if you are looking for a place where kids are allowed to be a little crazy, we have plenty of great options catered to that vibe as well.
