[quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WJ does, they overrun Wildwood shopping center until 12.  They are allowed to get food and supposed to take it back to the cafeteria, which they do at Chipotle, Flippin side of OGR because there's a security officer there, but at Wildwood Balduccis side, they get use Flower Child and Piccolo as a cafeteria.  It's REALLY annoying and I wish the restaurants [b]would complain[/b].  [/quote]

They are not going to complain in hopes of business.

They probably have already complained or informed school. And then what? Nothing.[/quote]

They complained at the giant side and now they have a limited number of students that can enter the giant at once, and the VP and a security guard stand outside of flippin pizza to ensure that students buy their food and go back to the school. They are not allowed to eat at the restaurant. But on the balduccis side they do sit. Go to flower child and they will be eating everything but flower child at the outdoor tables. They go to Bethesda bagels and eat it at piccolo. They also bring pizza slices from the school cafeteria to the restaurants. So they did complain and something changed, but only on one side of the street. But the balduccis side they ignored. [/quote]

I’ve never seen this and it seems so unlikely to me.  My kid goes for fish taco somethings but by the time you get out of the school, walk all the way over, and get your food, you need to head back and eat it on the way.

If that is happening, the restaurants should tell them to leave if they did not buy food there.  I think most of the restaurants are glad of the business as there isn’t a huge lunch crowd otherwise.  There’s just that one office building.  As someone who works downtown, let me tell you — having businesses stay open is no small thing.  More than half our lunch places never reopened after COVID and we’ve lost a couple more recently.

The Giant was a different problem and I agree there was some impolite behavior there — I think it just felt more casual there because not a restaurant so the kids were not reading the room correctly..
