Suck it up, buttercups.
Via WRAL:
A sign at a new Durham restaurant that spells out what customers can wear if they want to patronize the sports bar has gone viral on social media because of suggestions that the wardrobe restrictions may be racist.
The sign at Kickback Jack’s greets customers after they walk through the restaurant’s double doors. The sign says customers can not wear low-hanging pants, plain white T-shirts or high heel stiletto shoes.
Some customers are taking issue with the restrictions.
“I think it’s bogus and ridiculous,” said Zena Graham, who added that she saw the posts on social media criticizing the signage, which she said was discriminatory. “A lot of minorities wear that type of fashion, so I just feel like it’s kind of discriminating.”
But other customers said the dress code seems appropriate for a restaurant that often attracts families with young kids.
“Some people seem like they’ve gotten out of hand as far as the way they wear their pants and expose certain parts of skin,” said John Baucom.
