My friend went into Starbucks byherself around 3 o' clock yesterday to get a snack (we are on spring break). She had to leave because they said all kids ages 6-17 are banned from there on weekdays (and all other stores in the shopping center) until 5 o'clock pm. is this law true or do they just not want any kids around? thank you!

It is to keep kids from ditching class. If they can't go to any shops they won't cut class, that's the theory. You happened to be on spring break and should have told them that. If cops find kids not in class during school hours they have the right to take them to school or their parents.

Some stores do ban large groups of kids from coming in at certain hours due to studies that show that shoplifting drastically increases around the time school lets out (approximately 2-3 pm)
its an effort by the stores to reduce the amount of theft by kids.

Well, if thats starbucks rule so be it. Nothing you can do about it.
Or maybe its your towns curfew law. Nothing you can do about that either.
Deal with it.
The funny thing i find about this though, is that you say kids from 6-17...what if a 5 year old shows up?

Private places have the right to set their own restrictions. It isn't a law so much as it is a policy and it is perfectly legal.
We do not allow more than 3 unsupervised minors in our store at one time. It is a policy that we have had to enact to prevent loss via sticky fingers.

It could very well be true.
Ordinances like that are passed to keep kids who are skipping school from congregating there and causing legal problems with the businesses.
Kids should be in school at that time. If you were there with a parent, there wouldn't be a problem.

Probably a rule for the shopping center but there are curfew laws it just depends on your state.

That sounds like a store policy. It will be enforced at the store manager's level. If it were a law, it would be a truancy law, therefore not a concern of $tarbuck$ employees.

I would say that is a rule of the shopping center, not a law.

tell me approximately it. surely, Murphy's regulation grew to become into not chanced on via Murphy. No. It grew to become into chanced on via somebody with a similar call. If is does not artwork, it is not plugged in. the only time at artwork you relax and placed your ft up on your table is the day your boss walks in.
