"Screaming Children Will NOT Be Tolerated" reads the sign hanging in the window of the Olde Salty diner in North Carolina. The owner states simply, patrons want to enjoy their dinner without having to listen to kids scream. She isn't saying children aren't welcome, but if your little one begins to fuss and flail take him/her outside, deal with the issue, and then you, and your now placated little one are welcome to return.
The story about this diner owner and her controversial sign broke last week on every major news channel, morning show, and news blog- and there were quite a few folks who were, well, basically outraged.
One mother, of an autistic child, even claimed the sign was downright discriminatory to those with disabilities.
Of course, legally the diner owner can put up any sign she wants, as long as it in no way interferes with the constitutional rights of others, but I want to know how you mothers out there feel about this issue: Would you find the sign offensive and avoid eating at any establishment with the audacity to post it? Or do you agree- if your child acts up, take them out?
Let me know, then I'll tell you what I think!
