Is it legal in the US to enforce a dress code to the customers? Maybe it needs to be displayed near the entrance but tyat should end the discussion
Many state health departments have a no bare feet policy in grocery stores. Also, most retailers and all indoor restaurants in CA have a “no shirt, no shoes, no service” policy. As far as other dress codes, some establishments do have dress codes. Some may require jackets or a suit and tie, and others may ban shorts and tank tops.
I suspect most no-makers are either willfully ignorant or just not smart enough to understand.
Well, given that the Venn diagram of “people who think businesses should be allowed to refuse gay customers” and “people who think it’s unreasonable for businesses to require them to wear a mask” is pretty close to being a circle, I suspect it’s more than ignorance and stupidity at play.
Ha, they expect a no-masker to read that wall of text?!
Alternatively …
Ha, they expect a no-masker to read?!
Ha, they expect a no-masker to have any respect for an authority other than themselves?
Important thing i learned many years ago - sarcasm is wasted on the dim.
Not that this is sarcasm, mind you. But they’re still dim. so…
Yes, i heard of that type of signs but, are they legally enforceable? Can it be challenged in court?
Yes, they are legally enforceable, because of health codes.
Under federal anti-discrimination laws, businesses can refuse service to any person for any reason, unless the business is discriminating against a protected class.
I am of the mind these days that states with “stand your ground” and overly vague “castle doctrine” laws should take advantage of them and shoot people who don’t wear masks and refuse to leave a store. After all it is self defense from a trespasser who is intentionally trying to kill customers and workers with his infections.
The fact that we actually need a sign to remind us of that proves that Covidiots are definitely idiots…
“Hey, if you wanted me to wear pants you should have included that on the sign!”
I’m pretty sure non-health-related dress codes are legally enforceable too, because the Constitution doesn’t guarantee you the right to dine in a formal restaurant without a tie.
Interesting first comment.
i have heard that the “no shirt/no shoes” policy first became popular in the 60s, as a way to allow businesses a way out from having to serve hippies. not sure if it’s true or not. personally, i can’t really see how it has any real health implications to walk barefoot into a store, or without a shirt.
Okay then.
A place that serves food is obligated to enforce sanitation standards as established by the state Health Department.
