Turkey Leg Hut Implements Dress Code stirs National Controversy

I learned in another thread that businesses can do anything they want, so good on them

 

No, businesses can't do anything they want. Like it would be illegal for the restaurant to serve unsanitary food that's making people sick and they could get shut down, fined, sued for that. I guess that's what you get for "learning from a thread".

But they can have dress codes, we don't have federal regulations on **** like this (private places are allowed to have dress codes), we have the free market, and marketplace of ideas for these types of things, and this one is getting an ear full of the public's reaction to this dress code idea on social media.

 

clothing is free speech and only government can squelch free speech. Turkey Leg Hut isn't government, so voilà, no problem!

 

Shut the hell up.

 

I respect your idea in this marketplace

Why don't you go to work with an explicit image of a penis being inserted into an ******* on your shirt as protest

 

so much hostility, so little peace love and understanding

 

I made my post with much love and peace

Honest question if clothing is speech, the lack of clothing would be the same, are you arguing I should be able to legally enter any establishment I want but ass naked or is there some sort of nuance in your take here

 

there's always nuance in my take

 

Can I hear it brother man

No assholery I'm genuinely curious

read the article dude, totally racist policy:

Although the restaurant is Black-owned, many people also commented on the inherent “anti-Blackness” of the new policies, even alleging that the establishment is “gentrifying itself.”

“Our own ppl be anti black . the line outside be wrapped around twice in texas heat . on top of that it’s just in 3RD WARD .. you called the “turkey leg hut” & in the middle of the hood & serve finger foods & u want a strict dress code ? BYEE,” @Zoie_Zhane tweeted.

“Turkey Leg Hut was gentrifying themselves and forgetting who put them on the map. People start making and start acting weird. They back tracking and posted a new dress code because people were fed up,” wrote @Jayintee_.

“I have never been to the Turkey Leg Hut and never will be. How are you gonna be a BLACK establishment in the middle of a historically BLACK area of Houston with a hella Anti-Black, internalized racist af dress code policy for a joint that sells excessively smothered turkey legs?” wrote @TaliaMirai.



The new policies are not going unenforced. Twitter user @CaramulGoddess claimed in a post that she was “denied entry into Turkey Leg Hut” on June 24 because her top showed “excessive cleavage.”

But... where's the nuance on your opinion

I see I've been had for a fool again lol

Nvm Os nice chat

 

I don't think a dress code on excessive cleavage is racist, obviously.

The do-rag/wave cap is a virtually exclusive attire for black men, it has nothing to do with exposing your body, it's not a gang thing, it's dudes trying to get waves in their hair, or they may be bald/balding and wear it as a hat. That does seem "anti black" but hey if a restaurant wants to piss off their customers and be excessive on their dress code that's on them
