3.After receiving several complaints (投訴) from the customers,the owner of an Italian restaurant in Mooresville,North Carolina,has taken the decision to forbid(禁止) children under the age of five.Although facing criticism in social media,he says that business has grown greatly.
The owner describes his restaurant as a traditional and wonderful restaurant,but young children cry,scream or play on iPads at full volume (音量).It disturbs other customers and clearly doesn't fit in too well in a wonderful meal.So the owner,Pasquale Caruso,set up a "no child under five" rule in January 2020.
"Some customers complain,get up and leave because children are bothering them,and the parents are doing nothing," Caruso told the newspaper. "It starts to feel like it isn't the Caruso's anymore,that it's a local pizzeria instead." Caruso added that he didn't like taking this kind of decision,but in the end,he had to do what was best for his business.Since then,people have been voicing their opinions on the restaurant' s unofficial Facebook page.
"You have forbidden small children.Then who are the next:blacks,Jews,native people?Shame on you!" one Facebook user called John commented.But for every critical comment,there are some that congratulate Caruso's for taking such a brave decision. "Thank you for taking a stand," some people wrote on its Facebook page.
"I'm the parent of 5.Don't bring little ones to a nice restaurant or expect them to quietly sit still for an hour.They CAN NOT DO IT," one person posted.Caruso said the online support for his controversial (有爭議的) rule is reflected in the success of his business.The number of customers has risen from 50 a day to around 80.
