A Chick-fil-A fast food restaurant in Royersford is claiming ongoing issues with unaccompanied children has caused the institution of a new rule that would ban anyone aged 16 and under from dining there without a parent or guardian in tow.

On social media, the store posted a list of reasons for the ban, including issues with noise, children being dropped off nearby only to linger for hours at a time, mistreatment of property and harassment of employees.
