Most businesses have the right to refuse service to whomever they want as long as race or gender is not involved. "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service" is a perfect example of this. I don't want to see someone's hairy back or smell their stinking feet when I sit down to eat, so there's no reason I should have to put up with their screaming misbehaving kids either.I'm not talking about the occassional raised voice, but kids that play in the aisles by running and acting like they are on a playground, or a kid having a full-blown screaming temper tantrum. Usually they'll be dealt with by being taken to the bathroom and paddled or maybe a quick couple of pops at the table - really young kids usually just get taken outside for the duration since there is no shutting them up. But for every four that do that, there will be the one set of parents that act as if nothing at all unusual is happening and continue to dine or talk with their friends as normal while their kid screams or throws things or runs around with a toy, or whatever. I have seen businesses, rarely, ask someone to leave. Our theater has done that at least a couple of times with roudy theater-hoppers and that has won them my undying loyalty.</blockquote>
