German Eatery Bans Babies

Deutsche Welle reports:

A German restaurant has drawn protests and plaudits for refusing to give a dinner reservation to a mother who wanted to bring her two small children.

Dogs would be welcome, it said, but "here, children are not allowed in the evening."




Jana Schmid, 32, wanted to celebrate a christening with five adults and two small children at the "Boheme" restaurant at Augsburg in southern Germany, the only non-smoking eatery in the area.


"We are always being told that Germany must do more for children," she told the weekly Bild am Sonntag. "And then we are told they are not welcome, all they do is whine and disturb people. It would be unthinkable in countries such as Italy and Spain."

Children aren't popular everywhere.That's why Germany is in decline.
