Is it being too extreme to post such a sign in the front door or do you think it's justified? I have yet to meet anyone - parents included - who like screaming kids and in my experience most parents do the right thing and take their kids outside until the moment settles. There are those instances though when parents ignore the screaming and they let the kids run wild. (I experienced plenty of it during my days as a waiter.) If anything, this problem is more about the parents than the kids so maybe the sign should be updated accordingly.
“Screaming Children Will NOT Be Tolerated!” say placards posted at the Olde Salty restaurant in Carolina Beach. N.C. And while the signs may seem to be telling some parents their patronage is unwelcome, restaurant owner Brenda Armes said it’s actually been a business boon.
“It has been a good thing for us,” Armes told NBC affiliate WECT. “It has brought in more customers than it has ever kept away.”
Indeed, a first-time diner at the Olde Salty told WECT he embraced the signage. “It’s not very enjoyable when you hear a bunch of kids screaming,” Gary Gibson said. “It’s nice to see a sign like that up.”
