Kids tried to burn us down, so we banned them. OMGWTF ageism!!1!!
Still small, but tasty.

We all know and love hate ignore sometimes skim customers_suck, right?

Well, terwashere posts about some pretty sucky customers:
Some teenagers lit my Taco Bell on fire today.
We're henceforth banning the local high school's students before 2:45ish PM on weekdays.

Most responses are sympathetic and annoyed at the brats. However, we also get posts like...

Ageism! by leer
isn't alienating a large part of your customer base as a result of a few dumbasses more harm then good (and blaitant ageism)

The meaningless RACISM!! simile by lynnjessica:
That is messed up. It's complete ageism and I find it reprehensible that a business would do such a thing. I mean imagine if it were a group of black kids that lit the taco bell on fire - would anyone consider it acceptable to ban all black people in certain hours?

Encore by lithorien
Blatent ageism, and I'm fairly certain that you wouldn't ban all black people if one black person decided to do the same thing to you that the teens did. But then again, you don't see that - after all, they're "just stupid kids".

some voices of reason are sigurther, in a reply to leer
Not if they burn the building down it isnt. ;)

and swamibob
"We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."


Now, I don't know about you, but I think that if someone tried to burn down my place of bussiness? Then yes, I would ban their asses so quickly.

If they don't learn to spell "blatant" correctly, I'm going to go to their high schools and smack them all.

I've seen leer around there before. I've always though she was a bit of an asshat.

I was wondering if the school concerned was open-campus. Or had half-day/split shift/morning-afternoon kind of like kindergarten attendance due to school overcrowding. I figured it'd explain why students were going to Taco Bell before 2:45pm.

When I read terwashere's reply about the school's campus status, I'm in agreement there, keep them out of the store until after the time s/he stated.

As for the pyros, I hope they were permabanned. That's plain dangerous.

Y'know, I'm sure the school administrators are quite happy that Taco Bell is working to reduce their truancy levels.

What... the hell? What is all this ageism crap? I'm barely out of my teens myself and even I think that the banning during school hours was justified. All this talk about teenagers' "rights" to skip school and eat tacos just makes me wanna choke a bitch!

*sigh* So many people to smack... no button that makes it possible to do so over the internet.

Seriously. The mall where I grew up banned anyone under 18 during school hours, unless they had a parent/guardian with them. It kind of sucked because I lived out of town, and we had different days off, but... we lived.

I'm curious how they are gonna enforce this, especially if it happens to be a college town. But that comes from spending going-on-five years being mistaken for a high-schooler.

But not all teenagers tried to burn the place down. A few individuals who happened to be teenagers are the ones who perpetrated the crime.

As a teenager I don't appreciate people assuming I'm up to no good or treating me like a second class citizen because of my age. I also really don't see how this is going to help anything (if the kids gave a lick about rules they wouldn't have started a fire in the first place) but still, kids should be in class before 2:45. There's no reason they would need to be at Taco Bell anyway.

As for the person who said "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone", isn't that against some kind of law? If a restaurant decided to refuse service to women or the disabled or people of certain races wouldn't they be breaking some kind of law?

So they're kicking up a stink because teenagers are getting banned from one of the presumabably many fast food spots in the area? Oh dear. My school got banned from the local McDonalds (for students always leaving a mess) and you know what? Everybody just hopped in their cars and went to Subway instead. It isn't the end of the world.

Okay, now I'm curious. Everyone's going "DON'T SKIP SCHOOL TO GO TO TACO BELL", but at my high schools, you were allowed to leave campus for lunch (and during free periods at one of them). Is that weird or something?

My high school used to allow off-campus lunches until the kids used to spend the time breaking into houses and scratching up cars. (No, really. My house got broken into.) So now, you can't leave campus if you still have classes afterward, or else you'll be expelled.

"ZOMG! BUT WHAT ABOUT OUR RIGHT TO EXPRESS OURSELVES?! AND ALL THOSE RICH PEOPLE DON'T NEED THEIR TVS AND FAMILY HEIRLOOMS AND MONEY ANYWAY!"!

And when my dad went to school, if someone put a toe out of line, everyone was punished. It worked wonders. The seniors used to be allowed off-campus lunch in blocks. Two kids decided to go when it wasn't their day and they got caught. So, the principal made an announcement on the loudspeaker that two students left when it wasn't their day. Their names are [insert real names here]. So, all seniors have their off-campus lunch privledges revoked for the rest of the year. Again, their names are [insert real names here]. No-one whined about how they were being oppressed (it was a Jesuit school so that would have been redundant). All of the seniors left their classes furious and ready to kick their asses. I hated the mass punishment when I was little, but now I understand how it works. :)

Btw, kiddies? Want to not get banned from fast food places? A) Don't burn down the buildings, B) get into the manager's good graces by being polite and considerate (or just be polite and considerate anyway), or C) bring a healthy lunch from home instead of filling up on that crap which only make you fatter, lazier, and stupider.

I regard other teenagers who think it's completely unjustified for the TB to ban them during school hours in much the same was as I regard those who think they ought to be paid to go to school.

STFU and take a sack lunch or buy the subs earlier/the day before and take 'em with you.

And save the outrage for real issues. If there aren't any, be thankful.

Oooh, this brings me back to high school, where some jerks continually lit the back seat of one of the city buses on fire on the five minute ride from our school to the mall, then bus drivers refused to take our route and the city got involved and told the school to deal with said jerks, and then said jerks said they were being discriminated against that no one wanted to drive them.

It was all settled eventually, but it was pretty unbelievable.

Hi, lurker, annonymous, all that, sorry, piping up solely cause, well...

Terwashere threw a wobbler on a Customers_suck post of mine, (dealing with the ejection of potential shoplifters and shiny new no-unaccompanied-minors rule) along much the same lines as the post she's getting flak for now.

I am highly entertained.
