People are taking a crack at a North Carolina restaurant after it posted a strict dress code.
Kim’s Kafe, a soul food restaurant in Greensboro, posted its rules about what people aren’t allowed to wear when visiting, saying it “has been in place all summer.”
Their dress code, according to their Facebook post, includes:
- No shorts
- There are no blouses
- No leggings
- No T-straps
- There are no white shirts
- No short skirts
- No “skinny clothes of any kind”
- No cleavage is shown
“All we ask is that people respect our dress code as they do other people’s business,” the post reads. “People are leaving nothing to the imagination these days [sic] so our dress code is strict.”
The photo attached to the post also shows that part of the dress code is written on the windows of the door and is also written in large letters on the main page of the restaurant’s website.
The strict dress code attracted a lot of attention, with 12,000 reactions, 9,900 comments and 4,000 shares.
Many commenters shared gifs of the Hulu show “The Handmaid’s Tale,” comparing the rules to Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel.
“I would have to buy clothes to go to your business,” one person joked.
“I’ve already been kicked out before I even got there,” said another.
“This is mostly aimed at women… one’s spouse must have a wandering eye and/or hand. Ok, BYE!” a read comment.
“Should I show up naked instead?” someone mocked.
“It’s summer and you don’t allow shorts or white T-shirts? Ah good luck,” another noted.
The Post has contacted Kim’s Cafe for comment.
Attorney David Daggett addressed the situation, telling WCNC Charlotte that the rules are legal “as long as it’s not discriminatory” and is the same for all customers.
“The example I’ve used before when my kids have asked me about this is that I don’t like people who wear blue shirts. If I don’t want people in my business who wear blue shirts, I can do that as long as I’m turning away everyone in blue shirts, not selecting people on a discriminatory basis,” Daggett explained.
