Chick-fil-A restaurant in Royersford, Pennsylvania has announced that it will no longer allow unaccompanied minors to dine at its establishment.after some young people caused disturbances in the place.
The reason Chick-fil-A has implemented this new policy is due to minors who caused a disturbance at one of their establishments last weekend. These youngsters disrespected employees and vandalized the venue after their parents left them alone..
“While we love being a community restaurant and serving customers of all ages, there are some issues that need to be addressed,” the fast food chain explained in a Facebook post.
According to a Facebook post, some minors spoke loudly using explicit language, insulted and taunted restaurant staff, caused property damage, stole decorations and walked through drive-thru lanes.
“We are a family restaurant where this is not tolerated,” warned the Chick-fil-A location.
“As you can imagine, this is not a pleasant experience. We want to provide a comfortable and safe environment for our clients and our staff, and also protect our building. Therefore, we cannot allow this to continue. As a result, to dine in our restaurant, anyone under the age of 16 is required to be accompanied by an adult,” the post added.
Unaccompanied minors can still buy food, the branch said, but they have to order it to go.
Even though the new rule may affect teens who behave appropriately, the restaurant apologized to them and clarified that it doesn’t blame parents for their children’s behavior. However, due to the disturbances caused by some young people, the store can no longer tolerate such situations in its establishment.
