Area Chinese Restaurants to Soon Participate in “Don’t Bring your Children to Work Day”

Don't Ask Don't Tell Buffet Restaurant: Someone else will be
wrapping your silverware Nov. 18

Chinese restaurants all across Richmond and Doswell will commemorate “Don’t bring your children to work day” on Friday, November 18, 2011. The special day was created exclusively for Chinese restaurant owners and managers that frequently bring their children to the restaurants and make them sit and color in coloring books or put them to work either wrapping silverware, separating bean sprouts, shelling beans or other menial tasks, or even sitting by the door and staring, to let them do something else for the day.

“On November 18 our children will be somewhere else doing something else,” said the owner of the Doswell-area DADT (Don’t Ask Don’t Tell) Chinese Buffet. “So we’re going to have to make them stay late on Thursday November 17 to make sure they finish their work for the next day.”

Other Richmond and Doswell area restaurants participating in the special day include the Hot & Sour Temple, Bamboo Restaurant, China Flower, China Lotus, Panda Court, Peking Maple, Empress Dragon, Flower House, Hunan Mandarin, Beijing Room, Imperial Bamboo Buffet, Imperial Lotus Buffet, Lucky Mandarin Lounge, Lucky Pearl, Lucky Phoenix Buffet, Manchu Dragon, Silk Lounge, China Moon, Eastern Lily, Manchu Peony, Maple Palace, Pine Lounge, Shanghai Lotus, Silver Flower, Star Room, Szechuan Moon, Tiger Garden, Pagoda Hunan Express, Manchu Pagoda Express, Manchu Hunan Express and the Hunan Manchu Pagoda.
