Dress codes are stupid.
Sorry.
Go ahead and tell me they serve some purpose of unwritten fancy pants etiquette that makes a meal less tasty if I eat it in a T-shirt instead of a shirt and tie. At the end of the day, a shirt is a shirt, pants are pants. As long as the naughty bits are covered, WTF cares?

Zero deal. If a place has a dress code, that's their right. Don't have to let people in just for being famous.
I've been turned away from several places because of dress code. One time it was because I had a solid color shirt. Another because of my cap
Its not the whole story. They didn't have a single brow hairnet to cover him at the buffet. Brown Down means no Chow Down
Lol who cares how they dress? It doesn't make their money any more valuable if they're in shirt and tie.
On one hand this limits freedom of expression with clothing. But on the other hand it is his business, and if he wants to be an idiot and turn down someone with as much money as Davis then let him.
I wonder why Davis didn't just ask to see the manager.

Dress codes are dumb in general, but its the business owners prerogative.
I get not wanting people looking like total trash in your establishment, but some places take it too far. Wearing a tie doesn't make my money any more valuable. But I just vote with my wallet, there is tons of high end places to eat that don't give a shit what you're wearing (at least in the midwest).

I have no problem with having a dress code and sticking to it. On the other hand, the doorman should have consulted with his manager, especially after Davis offered to buy out a private room.
AD denied, and I heard the doorman gave him the Mutumbo finger wave too.
I don't have a problem with dress codes though. If you don't have them in nicer places, you will get people in pajamas or shorts and a wife-beater with flip-flops.
Yeah, don't see this as a big deal at all. Restaurant is entitled to have dress codes set as they wish as it is their business. If they want it to be a bit more of a classy place and atmosphere I have no problem with that at all. I love AD but why should he or any other athlete have special privileges that the rest of us wouldn't have. No real story here I don't think.
Lol,, why any person would eat at a place with a dress code is beyond me.. I'm not much on following rules to begin with..
Not my normal choice of places to eat either but I can still understand a restaurant having a dress code and customers going there who do appreciate it.
It was the restaurants choice to enforce the dress code. It would also be perfectly fine for AD to purchase land directly across from the restaurant in question, offer an identical menu and dining experience for about half-price and laugh as the place becomes a ghost town. If I had his money I know that is what I would do.
If I had the means, I certainly would. And I would patronize the hell out of that restaurant that banned kids. Heaven.
So you DO believe in Dress Codes. Just not the ones you don't like, right?
Every business has their own standards.
Nothing wrong about that.
Nothing wrong about that.
They have the right to dress codes, but was this a good business decision? That's the question the manager has to ponder, fact is AD IS NOT your average customer and it may be in the businesses best interest to bypass the rule for him, now how will this getting national pub affect business?
Most likely won't affect business at all. Other than Kentucky fans, who the hell cares?
And no, Davis should not have gotten special privileges just because of who he is.
"Most likely won't" you post, so why even take the chance ? In the real world, the rich and famous do get special privileges. It may not be fair but it's life.
In most establihments it's actually good for business to be known for having the rich and famous frequent your business, this is especially true for resturants and night clubs.
I doubt I'll ever step foot in such a pretentious establishment. I'll just stick to Eastern Kentucky.
So you are saying dress codes are a bad business decision but discrimination is ok. Got it.
Yep.. There's no way I'd eat in one of those fancy places when there's hundreds of other places with better food to choose from that don't care what you wear.. If I can't wear my camos,, then I don't belong there to begin with..
