From a legal standpoint, I don't know if Golden Corral was right or wrong. I do know that I wouldn't have gone with this young lady to a restaurant dressed in that outfit. I would have given a reason she and the rest of the group needed to go on without me. Never would I have embarrassed her in any way, but to be seen with her in public would be embarrassing for me.
The problem may not have been her top. Her raggedy cut offs were probably allowing butt cheek to show. She's dressed for a day at the beach, not a restaurant. She's going out to celebrate a birthday, drives an hour away from home, but wears clothes that are too small and too revealing, and raggedy. I wouldn't have complained to anyone, but I agree that she isn't dressed appropriately for going out to eat at anything but a McDonalds or Dairy Queen.
I really was not expecting much, but clicking to see the photo was worth it.
This is why schools have to have dress codes for parents now. Some people can't look in a mirror and SEE what the rest of the world sees.
Sure, it's not a jacket-and-tie place, but I don't see why Golden Corral can't reserve the right to refuse service on whatever (legal) basis they choose like a lot of restaurants do. Remember "No shirt, no shoes, no service"?
The crop top doesn't fit right and the shorts and her hair aren't doing her any favors either. You have to be in decent physical shape and smaller breasted for that top to look ok. I was a decently in shape teenager and tops like that never fit me right even with a strapless bra. The shorts are too short for many thinner women. Most people don't want to look at a flabby belly or legs. The hair looks uncombed. The outfit is way too casual. I'm not a tattoo fan, but if you dress in a flattering manner, people ignore those.
I understand wanting to look sexy. She can, but she either has to lose weight or pick clothes that flatter the body she has. She may have to look a little harder, but there are clothes tailored for heavier women. She could have chosen a nice feminine tank made of a floaty material and a tailored short with a little more length. Pair that with a cute sandal and fix her hair a little. Her outfit would have been pretty and flattering.
You see much worse at Walmart stores regarding dress code.
Actually I thought Golden Corral like most restaurants had a dress code of what would be considered reasonable. From looking at her picture that she took in the mirror of a restroom, I’m inclined to believe it was simply a “bad hair†day that she was having and nothing to do with dress code.
Many other customers at Golden Corral may have lost their appetite and left before finishing their meals.
Over the years society as a whole has been getting more casual.
And that's ok. Who wants to dress up in their "Sunday best" to take an airplane trip ?
But...we as a society forgot to draw the line.
Where does casual end and "X" begin ? ...fill in X with too sloppy, too provocative, too gross, etc.
Business is going to have to put their foot down at some point and say enough is enough.
Come back when you know how to dress properly.
And as Birdie pointed out schools are putting dress codes in place for parents for when the parents come to school.
How bad does it have to get before more folks get on board ?
What if the woman in the article showed up in a thong bathing suit ? Would those defending her in this thread do it again ?
Sorry, I don't see it being provocative. Everyone is remarking on her looks. Her top is too tight, too small, she shouldn't be wearing that, she was kicked out because they were afraid she would eat everything.
If a think girl walked in wearing that outfit, $20 bucks she wouldn't have been kicked out.
The outfit doesn't do the girl any favors, but that has nothing to do with getting kicked out.

Totally agree, but it seems anytime someone is called out about how they dress in public you shaming that person somehow and it becomes a PR nightmare. I never understood why people who expect society to take them seriously, but can't manage to function like adults in public.
I'm betting dollars to donuts that every time she bent over while grazing she put on a show for the whole restaurant

Yeah, the thread is quickly just becoming a pile-on.
