You’ve heard of no shirt no shoes, no service, but this is ridiculous.

A North Carolina eatery is receiving major backlash online for enforcing a dress code that would make a 1950s high school principal proud.
Kim’s Kafe, a soul food restaurant in Greensboro, posted a lengthy list of clothing rules on their Facebook page, noting they’ve been enforcing them throughout the summer.
The posted rules include:
• No shorts
• No crop tops
• No leggings
• No T-straps
• No white T-shirts
• No short skirts
• No “skimpy clothes”
• No “cleavage showing”
No shorts in the summer?! What is this, Amish country?
After getting dragged on social media, the owners of Kim’s Kafe made this statement:
“People are not leaving anything to the imagination much nowadays, so our dress code is strict.”
In other words, Kim thinks y’all look like total skanks.
Once Kim Kafe’s dress code hit social media, the backlash followed faster than you can say “spaghetti strap.” The Facebook post alone received over 10,000 comments. Would-be diners and leggings enthusiasts are NOT holding back their opinions.
One commenter stated the obvious: “Kim, it’s 100 degrees out. Shut the hell up.”
Another joked: “I got kicked out before I even got there.”
Someone added: “Hey Kim, it’s me, God. I really don’t care if people wear shorts while they eat chicken. I’ve kind of got a lot of other s**t going on right now.” (Wow! Who knew HE had Facebook?)
If you think what Kim’s Kafe is doing violates your American freedom to show cleavage, think again. Save yourself a call to Jacoby & Meyers— the dress code is perfectly legal as long as the establishment applies it to every customer the same way, attorney David Daggett told WCNC-TV in Charlotte.
Anyone looking to scandalize the public by wearing (gasp!) shorts and a white T-shirt better head to Applebee’s with the other bimbos because Kim’s Kafe is not budging on its stringent dress code anytime soon.
If you want to sink your teeth into their soul food, you need to be more covered up than the JFK assassination, Watergate, and Area 51 combined.
