Bliss Restaurant in Missouri sets age limits for entry, sparking debate. Some support the policy while others question its fairness.
A Caribbean restaurant in Florissant, Missouri, USA, named Bliss Restaurant, has caught people's attention with its unique age policy. In a Facebook post, the restaurant stated that it only allows guests who are 30 or older for women and 35 or older for men.
Explaining their decision, the restaurant said they want to create a sophisticated atmosphere and maintain their high standards. They believe this age policy helps them achieve that and supports their unique ambiance.
The post sparked a debate online, with some supporting the restaurant's decision. One person praised the restaurant for creating a classy environment in North County and encouraged them to stick to their policy.
Another person expressed relief at finally having a place where they can enjoy themselves without worrying about younger crowds causing trouble.
However, not everyone agrees with the age limit. Some argue that age doesn't necessarily determine behavior and that older people can also cause disruptions. They believe it's more important to address behavior issues rather than imposing age restrictions.
In many places, businesses are not allowed to discriminate based on factors like race, sex, religion, or national origin. However, age is not protected under these anti-discrimination laws. This means that businesses like Bliss Restaurant can set age limits without breaking any laws.
