Some branches in Stoke-on-Trent are banning under 18s after a fight broke out between 20 teenagers! They have to be accompanied by an adult to go in.

Tough call to make, most of their customers are probably school kids!

Sounds a rough old area. Shouldn't serve them at all. Will just mean more litter dropped. hmm

I thught from the thread title that both chains were banning under-18s nationwide (with or without an adult) and was wondering how many customers they'd be left with...grin

Very brave of them I think. Interesting when you think how many youngsters they actually employ!!!!!

I guess they'll have to ask for ID in a lot of cases then. Some adults are also teenagers.

I wonder why they don't just ban the people concerned with the disturbance surely that would work better than banning innocent teenagers not involved.

So will the under 18s who work there have to bring their mum or dad along as well? Bit of over reaction I think. Suppose they banned all us grans from somewhere because we were being stroppy about something. There would be lots of shouts about 'ageism'.
