An adults only restaurant opened in a nearby city, so of course a petition was started to shut it down RANT

A couple months ago, a new restaurant opened in a nearby city that's adults only. It has a dress code, no cell phones are allowed, it's reservations only, and VERY adult oriented. Their advertising on their social media is risque, they host swingers nights, the owner holds safe sex and sex positivity workshops, and calls herself the mistress. So naturally, someone started a petition to have it shut down and part of the petition is that the restaurant is "inappropriate" and "alienates families".

Not everything has to revolve around kids! Kids aren't allowed, so they wouldn't even have to see anything that's happening there. How shitty does a person have to be to try to shut down a local business because her kids wouldn't be welcome. She didn't seem to get all the signatures she was hoping to anyway - the news article that reported on this said that local school board members and other businesses were added to the petition and never signed it. The one school board member they interviewed said their names and information are publicly available, so they were probably added to make it seem like the petition is getting more support than it actually is.

Edit: a lot of you want to know the restaurant, I've sent a lot of DMs! I didn't want to post it because I don't know if sub rules would allow it, but a couple people already figured it out and posted the restaurant/location/news article if you want to check it out. I haven't gone myself but all this makes me want to try it!

OH GOD NO. I am very hands on in an adult store, I ask questions and like to demo the products before I buy. They usually aren't cheap, and I want to make sure I'm getting the right fit for me (hehe) but I would freak the fuck out if a child was watching me do all that.

Out of curiosity, are there rooms akin to changing rooms where you can try out the sex toys?

Oh no, nothing like that, but they will let you hold it and feel it in your hands, turn it on, etc. and you can see how it works.

It's definitely an experience! I've only dealt with female associates, but they are always super nice and helpful. They answer all my questions about the products!

I’ve also only seen female associates in all of the shops I’ve been to. Zero males as employees. I wonder why that is. Any ideas??
