A Hungry Jack’s store in Perth has stirred up controversy by posting a sign up on its front door announcing a ban on people under the age of 17.
The sign, posted on the glass doors of the chain’s Whitford store, has gone viral on social media.
“ATTENTION: Due to recent incidents, any guests under 17 will not be served without guardian supervision. Regards, Hungry Jack’s Whitfords,” the sign read.
The image was reshaped on Instagram by comedy news page The Bell Tower Times with some of their 133K followers racing to share their thoughts in the comments section.
“Lmao, just ban red shoes,” the page wrote.
“Eshays having to bring mummy to get a whopper. Good gear.”
“We had a birthday party there and the eshays took over the place, intimidating everyone. Cops need to hammer them,” one person said.
“Need to bring ID to buy a whopper now,” another wrote.
“More of this! I need to know where I can buy a burger without being terrorised by children and teenagers,” a third said.
Casual store manager John Castillo told PerthNow the restaurant’s staff were allegedly being harassed by teenagers.
“There were incidents where kids came into the restaurant and trashed the place,” he said.
“We are just trying to protect our employees … the kids are harassing staff.”
Police could not confirm any of the reports.
A Hungry Jack’s spokesman said the sign has since been removed.
The fast-food restaurant is just 4km down the road from a nightclub which recently banned patrons from wearing red shoes due to their association with “eshays”.
Club owner Malcolm Pages revealed in a conversation with 6PR radio that the ban was targeting people who wear a “certain style of clothing”.
“It’s a little bit eshay, it’s also a little bit Aussie local suburban hero and every pub, nightclub, bar, security person and police officer will tell you … the local hero certainly wears a certain style of clothing,” he said at the time.
R’n’B icon Ne-Yo was spotted wearing red shoes at the nightclub in the days after the ban was announced.
