[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to get lunch at Wildwood during the week, sitting at FlowerChild or Piccolo Piatti, but it's become impossible with the high school students.  They buy bagels/starbucks/pizza at the cafeteria and sit at the tables outside of these restaurants.  They go inside the restaurants, don't order there, but bring outside food in.  The lunch is 11-12 it seems, so nearly peak lunch time.  They aren't rude, just annoying and messy.  WJ has a security guard and maybe a VP stand outside of Chipotle on the other side of Old Georgetown, but not in Wildwood.

Is it up to the restaurants to tell them to leave?  WJ to tell them to stop?  [b]I think all four grades have one lunch period when any students are allowed to leave campus, but they have to buy their food and bring it back to the school.[/b]  [/quote]

No, [b]they're allowed to eat wherever they like.[/b] There is no room inside the school cafeteria for even a fifth of the students. WJ has been overcrowded for YEARS, hence why they built Woodward HS nearby. These are kids who need to breathe fresh air at lunch!

Well, no... if they are not purchasing food there, they should not be sitting there.[/quote]

That’s for the business to manage.[/quote]

Yes, but you said "they're allowed to eat wherever they like."  No, they're not.[/quote]

They effectively are if the businesses don’t enforce it.[/quote]
