A mall in the New Orleans area has just banned teens 16 and under on the weekends - unless accompanied by a parent. The reason is just what FatCat said. The teens were hanging out on Friday and Saturdays hanging around and not spending money. They were causing problems sitting in the food court taking up seats and not buying anything. In other instances they were running around the mall causing havoc. No, I am not comparing the laborers to unruly, rude teenagers..not in the least.

Now, I know that what City Centre did to the poor workers isn't right....not by a long shot. I am just saying what FatCat wrote may have something to do with it.

The Qataris need to build someplace for these poor guys to go on their day off. I am sure if they had something else to do they wouldn't hang out in a mall all day. How hard would it be for them to build some type of recreational facility for these guys. I know that this is a pipedream but that is what a decent society would do.

These poor gentlemen can't catch a break...No money, no family, no entertainment...sad.
