You would worry about embarrassing her? Clearly, she doesn’t get embarrassed easily. (If at all).

I see people dressed like this. I think they could choose more appropriate clothing, but I am surprised a manager would kick her out of a Golden Corral. And why would someone complain?

If a guy wore a tank top, baggy too big shorts and flip flops, would he be kicked out?

I think this is probably about her size more than anything else. If she were a size 6, no one would have said a thing.

The obese have no shame.
There are so many that is creating an excuse for the weak minded to do nothing and support this behavior ,which in fact is unhealthy .i.e. diabetes and heart disease top the list.
I do realize that there are extenuating circumstances in some cases, but the over all behavior is not being addressed.
Men and women both carry the responsibility of their appearance/behavior as an example to others ,but people are so selfish they don't care.
I don't believe in legislation but I do believe in social acceptance /rejection , and the struggle for one's personal best .
If I know that I will not fit in some where, I do not force my self on others .
I wear clothing appropriate for the situation as much as it is possible.

I don't believe her outfit got her kicked out. Probably it's got more to do with something she isn't revealing -- like Attitude.

Pffffttt. Dress and act like a decent lady in public. Unfortunately that would kill too many females... and half of them wouldn't know "decency" if it bit them in the a....................!

Her outfit is unflattering at best, but you can go just about anywhere and see people with poor fashion sense and clothes the wrong size. I am sure it's happened many times at Golden Corral and places like it and they are not kicking them all out.

Like everything ~ there’s a time and place for this type of outfit that she was wearing. Normally you wouldn’t see it at any restaurant; however you might see someone at a Halloween party or a truck-stop dressed like that. Sorry I don’t mean to put a bad name on trucker drivers but generally there female individuals looking to do business and make a living dressed like this walking around the parked bigrigs in the back lot.

I pretty much feel the same way. All her bits were covered. Just because HER dress code doesn't align with the establishment's is not a reason to kick her out. You just can't go around kicking people out because they aren't aesthetically pleasing to the manager's eye.

Don’t know what’s worse the crop top or the jailhouse tattoo.

Yes, actually the manager can, and it happens a lot. People are judged in stores and all public places by the way they look. I get that all the time. Since I can't help but stick out in a crowd, I get stared at or looked at with suspicion. A store manager can kick me out just for looking suspicious in their eyes.

I agree. While that isn't an outfit that I would wear, it really does not seem "bad" enough or revealing enough to get kicked out of a casual restaurant. I suspect that there is more to the story.
