Do you feel some children are out of control? You are not alone. Chick-Fil-A finds that the not-yet-adult patrons are not beneficial to the business. Chick-Fil-A has announced that it will no longer serve rude, unaccompanied children at its Royersford, Pennsylvania, location.<\/p>\n

It was cited in many comments that youth need to learn good boundaries.<\/p>\n Chick-Fil-A has announced that it will no longer serve rude, unaccompanied children at its Royersford, Pennsylvania, location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5216,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[190],"tags":[243,223,250,220,241,203,205,221],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22172"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22172"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22172\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22190,"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22172\/revisions\/22190"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Why Here?<\/h3>\n
