Everyone may have had such an experience: when eating in a restaurant, the mood of eating is greatly reduced when you encounter a bear child making a scene.

In view of this, a coffee shop in Ireland recently made a big move-"screaming fee". In a group of peer customers, if one child is noisy, the store will charge them an extra 15% "screaming fee", and the fee will be increased by 10% for each extra child. This plan quickly attracted a lot of attention, and while many people expressed their support, there was no lack of opposition or even abuse. Later, the shopkeeper responded on Facebook that the charge was just a joke, but the idea was true: parents who can't manage their children well, "you are not the customers I want to serve."

According to the Irish Mirror on May 6, the cafe, called White Moose, is located in Dublin, Ireland. Local time 5, the store owner Paul Statham (Paul Stenson) on the store's Facebook page, updated a notice called "bear child screaming fee".

He said that if they found that the guests failed to stop the noisy children of their peers in time, they would automatically increase the "screaming fee" by 15% in the bill to protect the rights and interests of all employees and guests. The fee will be added according to the head of the bear child, and for each additional person, they will charge another 10%.

Of course, to avoid controversy, Paul limited the number to four, beyond which they would invite the whole family out of the coffee shop.

The playful announcement has caused a lot of repercussions on Facebook since it was released. So far, it has received more than 6400 likes and more than 1400 comments.

Most foreign netizens are very supportive, which can prevent other customers from being affected. Netizens, who claimed to be the parents of their children, agreed that if their child screamed, he would quickly take the child away for a while.

After the announcement was spread to China, it also attracted the attention of many Weibo netizens. The attitude of most people is still supportive, and even some people who "suffer from it" suggest that planes, high-speed rail, trains, cinemas and other public places should be studied and promoted.

Of course, there are also people who are very dissatisfied, who has not been a child?

Some people also think that there is nothing we can do for children who are too young.

There is also a lot of agreement with this view: it is understandable for babies to cry, and they are not intentional. But when the older bear children are noisy, the nature is completely different, reflecting the quality of the parents.

Paul's attitude is similar. In the face of the controversy, he later responded, saying that the proposal of "bear child screaming fee" was actually a cold humor, and lamented that people would have laughed it off 10 years ago, but now netizens "can't afford to joke", resulting in a lot of abuse.

He then replied bluntly to netizens who opposed him that as a parent, he should take good care of his own children so as not to affect others. If there is no agreement, then "you are not the customers I want to serve".
