text: It is NOT against any law to require people to be a certain minimum age to go into a store.  People that say there is just don't know.  There won't be such a law because people your age DON'T VOTE, so the politians that make the laws DON'T CARE, and THAT'S the truth.\n\nThe fact that it's a private business has nothing to do with it.  A private business can't be white only, but they can keep teens out.  The civil rights laws all pretain to sex, race, religion, yada yada yada, but does not give any rights to children.\n\nA shop owner DOES NOT have the right to refuse service to anyone, they CAN'T REFUSE SERVICE to blacks and muslims.  I can't believe how much ignorance there is here.
