I’m 44, guess I can’t eat there
- The headline of the article is bad
  
  How is it bad? It's in the article.
  Women must be at least 30 to enter, and men must be at least 35.
The owner, 36, openly he was too shitty to est at a restaurant 24 months ago
I don’t see the age restriction as too far different from senior clubs (minus the gender split; do nonbinary folks get in at 30 or 35?) so that doesn’t bother me. IDs being verified by a St Louis County officer instead of an employee of the restaurant does. Why are taxpayers of all ages footing the bill for a private business?
- The cop isn't likely officially on duty, it's likely a detail shift that's little more than bonus income for cops. Many police forces require private business that may be dangerous to hire off duty police.
- "a hostess"... or a cop.
  I'm curious about this.
what difference do those 5 years make in terms of gender?
- I think they’re trying to say that men take longer to mature than women.
- Their marketing scam wasn't edgy enough without it.
  This whole thing is designed to generate a lot of buzz about the restaurant. Once the buzz dies down, they'll either quietly drop the restrictions. Or declare bankruptcy and find a new angle.
- You just made a sexist claim to explain why that company shouldn't be sexist.
- You think so huh?
No kids zones are popular in South Korea and it doesn't sound horrible honestly. https://creatrip.com/en/blog/10889
- There's a difference here.
  A 25 yo isn't a kid.
  
  Ehhhhh....
Don't know about where this restaurant is, but in my corner of the world, restaurants are hurting. They're happy to get any paying customers they can. Write back in 2 years and see if this place is still open and still uses this Facebook-headline marketing strategy.
Sounds like a great marketing gimmick. Look at how many people are talking about it.
- Marvin Pate, 36, and his wife opened Bliss just two weeks ago.
  Yep
What about the staff?
A 30 or 35 year old line cook is fucking ancient and 30 and 35 for wait staff is definitely almost ready for the diner gig.
Dumb.
