Comment on In the US we have signs that say No Shirt No Shoes No service. When did this become a norm? Also if I am wearing a shirt and shoes but no pants can I still enter?

This confused my literal autistic brain so much growing up in the 90s. I always wondered why they didn’t include shorts/pants. Beach culture originated these signs. Bottoms aren’t included because women would enter wearing bikini bottoms and they explicitly did not have a problem with that.

I used to think about this a lot too. I think it’s just because it’s a given that people would wear pants. They only need to clarify shirt & shoes because that’s what they expect people are coming in without; they don’t need to define their whole dress code because pants are implied.

  Yeah. If you’re Donald Ducking it, you’re likely going to have problems getting to the store.
