MONROEVILLE, Pa. — McDain’s Restaurant, an upscale-casual restaurant in Monroeville, Pa., is banning children under six from its establishment, MSNBC reports.

While owner Mike Vuick has been given some flak for his decision, he told MSNBC customer feedback about the change is overwhelmingly positive. He added that his grievances are more about parental permissiveness than children themselves. “Parents have gradually diminished their cooperation,” he told the news outlet. “This is a three-part issue. One is the increasing number of small babies that can’t be controlled. They can’t be quiet, and, really, they can’t be expected to [be quiet].” Vuick added that young children had been showcasing “increasingly poor manners” and parents were acting like restaurant staff was being offensive for asking them to control their kids.

NEW YORK — Months after the Atlanta-based Arby’s/Wendy’s Group made plans to sell its struggling Arby’s franchise, it’s been announced that a majority stake in the roast beef sandwich chain will be sold to the Atlanta-based private equity firm, Roark Capital Group.

In a interview with the Associated Press, Wendy’s/Arby’s Group CEO Roland Smith, who was Arby’s CEO from 1997 to 1999, and then again starting in 2006, stands behind the 2008 deal that merged the two chains. “At the time we put the two brands together it was the exact right thing to do, but any business that continues to do well and perform has to be nimble and adapt,” he said.
