And, given the owner's actions, he'll get his target clientele. If you look at the photo, though, it certainly looks homey: blue-and-white square flooring, curved wooden chairs. It's not decorated like a quiet place for people using laptops. It's decorated like a sunny rowdy family cafe. Maybe he needs to think about what message he signals by the decor and environment.
I certainly agree that children should not be allowed by their parents to behave like hooligans in public. Nor should adults behave like hooligans in public, though many do. And I think that actively segregating children out of society is a real problem. What if the cafe owner didn't want to serve people in wheelchairs because they blocked the aisles?
