Totally valid complaint. A lot of small businesses that can't easily afford repairs have these mechanisms and I tend to see kids pound on these buttons more often than they actually try to push the door open themselves. Just like I see people repeatedly pound on the pedestrian crosswalk buttons with hundreds of pounds of force in a sad display of how tough they are. And I see kids at the library pound on the public computer keyboards as if they're trying to break one of their own toys, as they play their stupid video games. These things cost all of us more money as we share the costs of repairs and replacements. Try to teach your kids to be as gentle and respectful as possible. It's a good thing all around.
Arenit: No one said anything about hating kids before your typically retarded contribution. I bet they hate you too.
