A Chick-fil-A location in Royersford, Pennsylvania (40 minutes northwest of Philadelphia) is taking a stand against who they are disruptive teens.
According to a post on their Facebook page, the Royersford location says anyone under 16-year-old can no longer eat inside the restaurant unless they are accompanied by an adult.
“We contemplated long and hard before posting this, but decided it was time,” it says in the post.
The restaurant says that Saturday and weekdays when kids are off school, children are dropped off at a nearby bounce park and then make their way over to the Chick-fil-A to eat.
The post says they notice the following behaviors from unaccompanied teens:
*Volume. They are loud, and their conversation often contains a lot of explicit language. We are a family friendly restaurant where this is not tolerated.
*Mistreatment of property. Food and trash are often thrown around and left on the tables, chairs, and on the floor. Tables and restrooms are vandalized. Decorations are stolen.
*Disrespect of employees. Employees are laughed at, made fun of and treated rudely.
Employees are cursed at and ignored when they ask the children and teens to either change their behavior or leave.
*Unsafe behaviors also occur walking through the parking lot and drive thru lanes.
The restaurant goes on to apologize to teens under 16 who behave properly but need to make it a blanket rule.
If unaccompanied by an adult, teens can still buy food, but they have to get it to go.
The post also says they are not putting the blame on parents, explaining, “Children and teens are learning to navigate the world free from supervision and often push the boundaries. We simply can’t let them push those boundaries anymore at our restaurant. We encourage you to talk to your children and ask about behaviors they have seen and perhaps participated in.”
All Chick-fil-A locations are closed on Sundays
