Internet Goes Wild Over This 21 Strict Behaviour Signs Issued To Visitors By One Restaurant

According to news agency SWNS, a particular venue has 21 signs scattered throughout its grounds and this has left some visitors perplexed. You see, visitors are given essential information via the signs of Hidden Gem Café in Manchester's Heaton Park.

There are numerous signs such as the fact that dogs are not permitted, minors must always be watched over, and the restroom are reserved for visitors only. Additionally, the establishment issues a warning that anyone found consuming food or beverages they did not purchase within the café will be asked to vacate the area.

According to one social media user, these were "all reasonable requests … it's extremely funny how many signs there are." Someone else went ahead to make a joke about it saying, "Rules are rules."

Even if "most of these [requests] are just common sense," according to yet another commenter, the cumulative effect made the person feel as though he would prefer to conduct business "elsewhere." When Jack Fifield, 26, went to the horticultural center where the café is located, he says he saw the signage.

"Anyone know if there [are] any rules I have to follow at this café?" he joked online, according to SWNS. The same messages are displayed on several of the placards, which prohibit dogs from entering the restaurant or on the deck and discourage visitors from consuming their own food.

On a day off from work, journalist Fifield claimed to have discovered the café just north of Manchester city center. He stumbled onto the garden center after taking a leisurely stroll and went to the café for a snack, according to SWNS.

He said, "I was shocked to be greeted by a sign telling me I could be asked to leave if I consumed my own food or drink. Then, as I approached the café to buy myself a slice of cake, I noticed a lot more signs with different rules and regulations."

"I thought it seemed massively over the top, but I saw the funny side. I bought a cake and a hot chocolate and sat down outside, where I counted all the signs," he added.

"No Dogs Allowed In Coffee Shop"

He claimed that at one point, when he pulled out his water bottle for a sip, he became "worried I'd get kicked out—but of course I didn't. The staff were friendly enough."

A café manager who only identified himself as "Mark" defended the number of signs, telling SWNS that they were meant to remind customers of basic rules. He said,

"The signs are things like, ‘Please keep your dogs on a lead.’ Just this morning, a guy [was] running around with his dog not on a lead and a [man] tripped over and banged his head."

He also pointed out that the signs ask people to "please only consume food and drink bought in the shop—it's not a picnic area."

He also said, "I went to Marks and Spencer this morning and saw more signs than I've got up, I don't get what the issue is."

The venue says on its website that it's "delighted to say that our customers can now enjoy refreshments whilst sitting in the covered greenhouse or in our beautiful gardens." It also says that "coffee is served freshly ground and teas are too plentiful to be able to mention."

"The staff here are a wonderful crew. You will leave with a smile on your face and a content tummy," an additional note says. Leave your thoughts below and don't forget to share as well.
