A McDonald’s location in Brooklyn has begun checking IDs at the entrance and is prohibiting anyone under 20 from entering without a parent or valid ID.

A sign posted on the door of the Nostrand Avenue location states the new rule after after a group of kids wearing ski masks swirled in after school and attacked a security guard, breaking a glass door, according to manager Amber Hussain.
According to the NY Post, every day after school for the year she’s worked there, somewhere between 15 to 20 teenagers come in and “trash the store” — throwing ice at customers, snatching bags of foods from Uber drivers and smoking weed inside the restaurant, Hussain told The Post.
According to the NYPD, police have been called to the location 29 times this year. Some residents believe security measures should be strengthened, rather than limiting access for young people.
If successful, should this be implemented in other affected U.S. locations?
