NC restaurant's new dress code upsetting some customers

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) - The dress code at Kickback Jack’s has some customers a little upset.

“The sign is bogus,” said customer Zaena Graham. “I think it’s a bunch of…rubbish.”

The sign posted inside its restaurant lists the dress code and behavior requirements. The list starts off prohibiting negative attitudes, offensive language, and any attire containing profanity.

“In a family atmosphere other than just a sports bar, I think profanity should be restricted in any public place,” said John Baucom, a customer.

“The first part sounded OK, but it just got, to me, more discriminatory,” said Laurie Washington, who was eating at the restaurant with her husband, Thomas Washington.

The dress code goes on to say no low-hanging pants or shorts, no plain white T-shirts, and no excessively baggy attire.

Laurie and Thomas Washington believe it has a racial undertone and is offensive to them.

“That’s typically, younger African-American type attire,” said Laurie Washington.

Baucom said not having the policy could be offensive to others.

“The way they wear their pants and exposing certain parts of skin or whatever, I think that should be a manager’s discretion as far as offensive to other people,” he said.

Some residents of Durham are expressing a reluctance to conform to the manners of civilized society and respect the wishes of a business enterprise.

If you don't like the rules don't patronize the establishment.

I agree. They don’t have to go if they don’t want to follow the owner’s rules.

Customers who brandish balloons are almost always trouble.

That’s too long to read, by the time you read it you could have been seated and ordered an appetizer.
I didn’t know plain white T-shirts were bad - is that a gang thang?

They left out 3 other prohibitions:

No baseball caps worn backwards

No cell phone use at the table.

No talking with food in your mouth.

Anybody caught wearing a baseball cap on backwards while talking on cell phone with food in mouth will be ejected.

I find a woman wearing just a long t-short to be quite fetching

But where else in Durham can one, or more, find "Great Food + Great Fun"? /s

Old Joke:

An Englishman, a Scotsman, an Indian, a German, ... and a South African walk into an upscale bar.

After scrutinizing the group, the bartender says “I’m sorry, but I can’t let you in without a Thai.”

...especially when they are urine-filled.

I know some prisons that have gone to one-piece jumpsuits for inmates to cover the bare behinds.
