The Sagamihara Tana McDonald's, popular among Tana Middle School students, has implemented a controversial ban prohibiting these students from entering the restaurant due to disruptive behavior, mirroring a similar move by a Liverpool branch last year.
As a result, they have implemented a ban prohibiting every single student from Sagamihara Tana Municipal Middle School from entering the restaurant. This incident caught the general public's attention earlier this month when a viral tweet showcased a written notice inside the Tana McDonald's, clearly stating that students from this particular middle school are not allowed to enter.
Although the notice does not specify the exact reason for this decision, the school's vice-principal described the students' behavior as rowdy and disruptive. Multiple disturbances caused by students were recorded during the previous school year, prompting the intervention of both teachers and police officers to maintain order.
The ban was implemented after discussions between Tana McDonald's management, the school, and the police. The school has not publicly challenged the decision, implying their agreement with the outcome. Enforcing the ban involves refusing entry to anyone wearing the school's uniform.
The exact number of students involved in these incidents remains unknown, and it is likely that some of the troublemakers no longer attend the school. Nonetheless, the ban remains in place. Tana Middle School administrators have taken the opportunity to address their students regarding the importance of displaying proper courtesy when visiting businesses and interacting with service industry employees.
It is worth noting that a similar decision was made at a different McDonald's branch on Lord St in Liverpool last year. That particular restaurant implemented a ban on customers under 18 after 5 pm unless accompanied by an adult in response to incidents of anti-social behavior, including verbal and physical abuse directed towards employees.
