A new trend is the ban on children entering a number of restaurants. What about the Slovaks?

BINZ / PRAGUE 21 August – Restaurant visitors, owners and staff sometimes catch their heads. The reason is that children who come with their parents and restaurant buildings are mistaken with the playground. They run, scream and destroy foreign possessions in some cases. In the German city of Binz on the island of Rügen, the situation is the owner of one company "Grandmother & # 39; s kitchen" decided to solve after being. It was forbidden to go to the restaurant for seventeen hours for children younger than 14 years old. Visitors receive a blackboard on which the sign "adults only" is lit.

Local people do not like this idea and are against it. Keep small visitors. Management, however, has a completely different picture of the situation and explained their actions without any problems. "We had a lot of bad experiences with bad children, better to say with parents who can not manage their children, chase the children, they destroy everything, the guests get into trouble, they get up and leave," the manager of restaurant Rudolf Markl explained. The restaurant also offers children's menus & # 39; s and there are also crayons. One employee also defends this action and her words are logical. "God, that does not mean we hate children, we're all mothers here," Bettina Weidlich, the waitress, defends herself.

Ban on children in Prague

So & # 39; n restaurant also works with our western neighbors. In the Czech Republic. One of the companies in Prague is forbidden to be under 18 years old. Parents & # 39; escorts can not help. According to the manager of the restaurant Stodola House of David Salomon they do not have to go to "pubs". It sells cigarettes, alcohol and fatty foods that are unhealthy for children. Salomon is also defended by the fact that it is also in his interest to comply with the Law 65/2017 on the health of the population. If he did not keep it and the children would drink alcoholic beverages, he could be sanctioned.

However, the Czech trade inspection has a completely different picture of this. According to the spokesperson of Jiris Fröhlich, who spoke for Nova TV, the owner of the restaurant can not normally prohibit children from entering. In this case, it is discrimination, for which the law grants a fine of up to three million Czech crowns. Salomon, however, argues that this is a conflict with a free enterprise and refuses to withdraw. The German owner is very similar.
