Higginson, the owner of a coffee shop in the British town of Turbai, recently attracted many residents in the town to scold and boycott him because Higginson laid down a controversial rule for his coffee shop, saying that children under the age of 12 are not allowed to be entertained, but dogs are welcome to enter.

Higginson, 61, said that the coffee shop had been open to people of all ages in the past, but the behavior of children running around made him change his mind. "the main clientele I serve are older, more mature people who want to have a quiet conversation with their friends," Higginson said. "

Higginson said that there are many valuable works of art for guests to enjoy in the coffee shop, so according to past experience, there is no intention to entertain children under the age of 12. However, he stressed that he would never shut the dogs out, especially welcoming guide dogs, and there was also a "dog manager" Chester in the store.

Moore, a resident of the town, expressed dissatisfaction with Higginson's decision, angrily denouncing each other as "self-righteous": "Dogs can enter the store but children can 't. what town do we live in?" What does Higginson think he is? " But Higginson was also recognized by his supporters. Some members of the public think that some parents should understand the proprietor's thinking. Taylor said: "if parents had taken good care of their children in the past, Higginson would not have made such a decision at all."

In response to the incident, a spokesman for the town council of Turbai said that at present, there is no law in the town to regulate the business decisions of shop owners.
