Last month some parents visited a pizza restaurant in Florida with their children. On the door, they saw a sign “NO CHILDREN.” “Why can't we bring our children?” “What on earth does the owner want to do?” The parents were surprised and complained angrily.
So why did the restaurant put up the sign on its door?
Troy Taylor, the owner of the pizza restaurant, found that many parents couldn't control their children and many children couldn't have meals quietly, so they disturbed other customers. Some people said that this was unfair. Mr. Taylor explained his decision . He said that the restaurant was near a busy road, so there might be some danger if the parents didn’t take good care of their children. So he made up his mind to ban禁止children from his restaurant.
Others supported his decision, they said they were bored of noisy children in restaurants and
now they could finally have a place for adults only.
83 In fact,many other restaurants have also met the same problem. Some have done nothing and others have tried to ban children during certain times of the day. There’s one restaurant in Italy. It has been creative in dealing with the problem. They rewarded奖励 well-behaved children to encourage parents to control their children.
84These methods may be useful for a while, but it is difficult to solve this problem completely.
