This is Scott's restaurant and he can do as he wishes as long as it is legal.

He could not restrict his rooms from certain groups if he "prejudged" them to be unacceptable based on skin color, etc. He IS prejudging a group's behavior based on age but I will assume this is legal ( I am not a lawyer). Certainly as a society we restrict driver's licenses to people above a certain age because we believe that below a certain age they are not responsible so prejudging based on age is sometimes OK.

I do not agree with his policy in his restaurant but he can do it. He did not always have this policy posted and I did object to his not being up front about it. His posting on the Forum was helpful.

But it is prejudging a group based solely on age and the vast majority of restaurants seem to be able to function quite well without it.

I believe this is exactly the definition of prejudging for those who don't get it.

This thread is getting old...says the poster who is prolonging it
