Pennsylvania Fast-Food Restaurant Bans Diners Of A Certain Age

A Pennsylvania fast-food restaurant bans diners of a certain age.

The decision comes after several incidents of poor behavior, disrespect to employees, and mistreatment of property.

A Chick-fil-A in Royersford, PA is banning diners under the age of 16 years old from visiting the restaurant without an adult.

The franchise posted to Facebook on Wednesday (Feb 22.) addressing the issue and explaining their decision stating "We contemplated long and hard before posting this, but decided it was time."

The post goes on to explain the children and teens are loud and use explicit language, which goes against the family friendly atmosphere Chick-fil-A strives to be. Food and trash are often left on tables and the floor, decorations are stolen, and property is vandalized.

Due to the numerous incidents the Royersford location has decided to implement the rule for unaccompanied minors under the age of 16.

The restaurant continued by saying "Parents, we are not blaming you. Children and teens are learning to navigate the world free from supervision and often push the boundaries. We simply can’t let them push those boundaries anymore at our restaurant. We encourage you to talk to your children and ask about behaviors they have seen and perhaps participated in."

If anyone 16 and older does enter the restaurant without an adult they may order food but must take it to go.

Ahhh.  Who doesn't love talking about sandwiches? Especially popular sandwich chains!

No matter what you call it. A sub, a hero, a grinder, a hoagie... They all fall into the sandwich category and who doesn't love a quality sandwich?

You probably have your favorite local restaurant that has your favorite sandwich or a local deli with the finest deli meats.  Okay, I'm starving just thinking of all of this.

I believe it's all about the bread.  If you have a quality roll, you are most likely going to have a great sandwich.  Boars Head or Dietz & Watson deli meats are my favorites and you can't go wrong with either.  A quality cheese is key.  I'm a big Provolone guy, my wife is a Swiss lover.  Cooper Sharp is a phenomenal choice or you can go straight American Cheese.  No wrong choice here. I haven't even touched on hot sandwiches.  Chicken Parm, Meatball, CheeseSteak, Buffalo Chicken, BLT, the choices are endless!

Also, a nice spread.  Whether it's oil, mayo, mustard, honey mustard.  That can make or break a sandwich as well. Now, let's chat about other add-ons.  Lettuce, tomato, onion is my go-to.  My wife loves banana peppers. You also have sweet peppers, avocado, pickles, cucumbers, olives.  Is anyone else starving right now?

A website called TastingTable ranked the 20 Most Popular Sandwich Chains.  You may agree with some or may disagree.  Either way, sandwiches are the greatest!!!

Besides Wawa subs, this is my most frequented sub shop.  It's simple and I get the same thing every time.  Chicken Bacon Ranch with Lettuce, Tomato, and Onion on a Italian Herbs & Cheese bread. Boom!

For some reason, I find there subs to be small.  I still enjoy it every time.

Pretty good.  I have only had it once. I was satisfied.

Another one that sounds super familiar but I can't remember if I have been there or not.

They have the best commercials and the subs are pretty good as well.

If you live in New Jersey, Philly, or Delaware.... You know Wawa and you know Wawa well!  Sandwiches are very good!  (Can I just say that I love that Sheetz did not make this list. Haha, take that!)

I really like the name of this chain.  I want to say I have seen one of these but I can't remember.  Haven't tried this one.

Not only did I copy and paste the name of the deli because I couldn't spell it, I am not sure I can pronounce it either.  Never heard of this one!

I'm not sure why it's called Penn Station East Coast Subs when it was founded in Ohio.  I have been to Penn Station many times and have never seen one in there.

This is definitely not a Northeast chain.  I have heard of Larry's cheesesteaks but that's a local Philly cheesesteak joint.  Never heard of Lenny's.

I didn't know this was a chain.  They are a Philly staple.  If you have not tried "The Bobbie," you are dearly missing out!  The Bobbie is Thanksgiving on a roll.  It's slow-roasted turkey topped with cranberry sauce, handmade stuffing and mayo. OMG AMAZING!

I have only seen Publix in Florida and in Charleston, SC.  I got a sandwich from Publix in Charleston and first of all, it was massive.  2nd of all, it was amazing!!  Great sandwiches at Publix!

I think this is my favorite of all the chains.  They have a Jersey Mike's in my hometown and my wife and I frequent this spot occasionally!

Fantastic sandwiches!

Another chain I have never heard of.

Very underrated.  I rarely see Potbelly's around but there is one across the street from XTU so I've been there once or twice or 15 times. A quality establishment!

This was founded in Texas and I have never seen a Jason's Deli.

I have no idea what this is.

Panera makes their own fresh bread every day.  They have some random sandwiches but they are all great!

This is a London-based sandwich shop so I haven't heard of it or tried it.
