NOW THEY’VE GONE TO SOCIAL MEDIA AND SAID THAT THEY MIGHT EVEN HAVE TO CLOSE THEIR DOORS PERMANENTLY IF SOMETHING DOESN’T CHANGE. THIS WAS A FIGHT THAT BROKE OUT AMONGST HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AT NINJA EXPRESS IN MOORE.

A LUNCH RUSH WHERE GROUPS OF STUDENTS COME TO THE BUSINESS. BUT SOME AREN’T CUSTOMERS. THEY’LL COME INSIDE AND WON’T BUY ANYTHING, BUT WILL TAKE DRINKS, GET IN FIGHTS OR SMOKE IN THEIR BATHROOMS. IT GOT REALLY OUT OF CONTROL. NOW THEY’RE CHANGING THE SYSTEM BY ASKING STUDENTS TO ORDER OUTSIDE OR THROUGH THE DRIVE THRU AND NOT ALLOWING THEM IN DURING LUNCH HOUR WITHOUT A GUARDIAN. THEY SAY THEY’RE WORKING WITH OTHER BUSINESSES TOO, WHO ARE ALSO STRUGGLING. WE’RE TRYING TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER AS MUCH AS WE CAN. THE BUSINESS SAYS THEY KNOW NOT ALL STUDENTS ARE MAKING THESE CHOICES, AND THEY ENCOURAGE STUDENTS AND PARENTS TO REMEMBER THE IMPACT. WE SEE SOMETHING THAT’S BEING DONE. LET’S LET’S TRY TO PREVENT THAT OR HELP EACH OTHER FROM SHY AWAY FROM THAT KIND OF ACTIVITY. AND NINJA SAYS THAT RIGHT NOW THEY REALLY NEED COMMUNITY SUPPORT. THEY HOPE THAT THIS WILL HELP STOP SOME OF THAT CHAOS SO THEY CAN KE
