The Red Rooster Burgers and Brew restaurant in Garden Valley, California, announced on its Facebook page that minors not accompanied by a parent or legal guardian are no longer welcome. The post has a long list of reasons why the new policy was put into place.
Those reasons include marijuana being smoked in the bathroom, ketchup being squirted on the walls and TV, stealing soda, throwing coins across the room, throwing French fries at employees, and more. The post talks about kids need a safe place to be after school, but also mentions “youth roaming the streets at night vandalizing the neighborhood.”
The post ends with “I wish it didn’t have to be this way.”
