New York restaurant has one-drink limit policy for customers with kids

A restaurant in New York has a very strict policy about drinking and driving.

Peddlers Bar and Bistro in Clifton Park, NY, said they have a one limit drink rule enforced to customers that are driving with a child or children in the car after dining at the establishment, according to WKBN.

Melisa Gravelle, the general manager of the restaurant, said the establishment enforced the rule as it prepared for the summer.

“We love children,” Gravelle told WKBN. “Everybody loves children and children don’t have a voice.”

“I could never live with myself knowing that I killed somebody driving,” Gravelle continued. “I could never do that; it’s a choice that you can avoid.”

Gravelle warned that those who do not abide by the rule would be asked to go.

“They (servers) do get berated at the tables and some come back very upset,” Gravelle said. “The manager go to the table and they explain we’re not picking on parents, it’s just something that we feel in our hearts is something that we can do in order to help.”

Many customers believe the policy would be effective.

“Why take the chance? Definitely doesn’t make any sense,” Greg Culver, a customer, said. “That way you keep those people off the road.”

“I’m a former educator and I think it’s a great policy,” Barb Buckley, a Peddlers diner, said. “When you think about the responsibility that a parent has to protect their children, I think it’s a great policy. I’m behind them 100 percent.” 

The restaurant does not have the legal rights to enforce their policy but it has been implemented since 2010.

Trump blasts Clintons, NY Times, 'fake news' in lengthy Twitter rant

President Trump went on a wide-ranging Twitter rant Saturday morning, bashing Hillary Clinton, “fake news,” The New York Times and other favorite targets.

Trump tweeted at least eight times within a one-hour period, focusing first on a Washington Post story, based on unnamed sources, that alleged Attorney General Jeff Sessions talked to a Russian ambassador during the 2016 White House campaign about policy issues and other matters.

"A new INTELLIGENCE LEAK from the Amazon Washington Post, this time against A.G. Jeff Sessions. These illegal leaks, like Comey's, must stop!" Trump tweeted.

The Post reports, based on unnamed current and former U.S. officials, that Sessions, who was a Trump campaign adviser before becoming attorney general, had "substantive" discussions about policy and other issues with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

...What about all of the Clinton ties to Russia, including Podesta Company, Uranium deal, Russian Reset, big dollar speeches etc

“So many people are asking why isn't the A.G. or Special Council looking at the many Hillary Clinton or Comey crimes. 33,000 e-mails deleted?,” Trump said in a follow-up tweet, amid numerous investigations into whether any Trump associates colluded with the Kremlin to win last year’s presidential race over Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee.

In a tweet about two minutes later, Trump said, “What about all of the Clinton ties to Russia, including Podesta Company, Uranium deal, Russian Reset, big dollar speeches etc.”

One of the president’s final tweets of the morning addressed son Donald Trump Jr., now caught up in the Russia meddling-collusion ordeal, after he and other Trump associates met in June 2016 with a Russian lawyer, on the promise she had negative information about rival Clinton.

“My son Donald openly gave his e-mails to the media & authorities whereas Crooked Hillary Clinton deleted (& acid washed) her 33,000 e-mails!” Trump tweeted.

His tweets come one day after he named Anthony Scaramucci as his new White House communications director and demoted Sean Spicer from the post, prompting Spicer to resign. Also on Friday, Sara Huckabee Sanders officially became the new White House press secretary.

On Saturday, Trump defended Scaramucci against a wave of news reports that the Wall Street financier had originally backed Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in the 2016 GOP presidential primaries.

Scaramucci publicly apologized again Friday, from the White House briefing room.

“In all fairness to Anthony Scaramucci, he wanted to endorse me 1st, before the Republican Primaries started, but didn't think I was running!” Trump tweeted.

Trump also tweeted Saturday that The New York Times has a “sick agenda” regarding national security and that paper “foiled”  a U.S. strike on Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, believed dead for months.

“The Failing New York Times foiled U.S. attempt to kill the single most wanted terrorist, Al-Baghdadi. Their sick agenda over National Security,” Trump tweeted. However, to which attack the president was referring and why he singled out The Times was immediately unclear.

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Friday that he thinks Baghdadi is still alive.

Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores responded late Friday to The Washington Post story on Sessions, saying in a statement, "Obviously I cannot comment on the reliability of what anonymous sources describe in a wholly uncorroborated intelligence intercept that the Washington Post has not seen and that has not been provided to me.

“But the Attorney General stands by his testimony from just last month before the Senate Intelligence Committee when he specifically addressed this and said that he 'never met with or had any conversations with any Russians or any foreign officials concerning any type of interference with any campaign or election.'”
