Honestly, I feel like Black people should stop spending money at these “luxury/upscale” restaurants and clothing stores, too, but that's another conversation for another day. They don't really want you there in the first place. Whether you dressed down or shyt dressed up, it doesn't matter; they already thought negatively of you the moment you stepped through the doors and, in turn, give you subpar service.
There's a saying about how you shouldn't spend money in places you wouldn't be hired, well it's the same thing, don't eat in restaurants where you're not respected and treated as a valuable customer, these places take Black folks' money and the owners, managers, servers, etc don't have any respect for us at the same time.
I would never consider eating at these places. I proudly spend my money at restaurants, particularly Black-owned establishments, where I'm valued and treated with dignity. At least, I know that when I'm sitting down, my presence is wanted.
Expensive steakhouses do have a dress code, they just dont have to advertise it because people going in to buy $90 steaks tend not to show up in basketball shorts and a tank top.
And its not like they ask people to put on a 3 piece suit. Non ripped jeans and any shirt with a collar suffice in 99% of the instances. Thats shyt that every man already has in their closet, why is it an issue now?
THEYRE NOT EVEN ASKING 

Hey, I'm not trippin', I've never spent a dime up in there a day in my life. Hell, I don't even eat steak unless it's Philly(cheesesteak). I'm just a Black man with common sense, dignity, and self-awareness.

STILL MAD
I'm reading some of this shyt with the
THEYRE NOT EVEN ASKING
FOR COLLARED SHIRTS.
THEY SIMPLY SAID NO TANK TOPS
NOR SHIRTS WITH OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE/GRAPHICS
AND SOME OF THESE FAKE nikkaS
STILL MAD
Gym wear, pool attire, tank tops, clothing with offensive graphics or language, revealing clothing or exposed undergarments.
Which part of the new dress code do you take offense to?Y'all wanna ignore the elephant in the room because y'know people like me are right; them white folks don't want your Black asses sitting at their dining tables, but they'll take your money anyway because like Clay Davis said, “I'll take any fool's money if they're giving it away” or something of that effect.
I've never ended up at a restaurant, whether planned or not, where any of these were an issue.Gym wear, pool attire, tank tops, clothing with offensive graphics or language, revealing clothing or exposed undergarments.
I thought they already had a dress code. You mean to tell me I was wearing business casual like the average coli breh for no reason?

They should just stop serving well done steaks. That’d take care of 91% of the problems![]()

Yup could have busted out the cut offs and cropped top but I guess you missed outI thought they already had a dress code. You mean to tell me I was wearing business casual like the average coli breh for no reason?

Nothing about shoes, no requirement that the shirt needs a collar on it, nothing saying pants only.They're asking for the bare minimum. Not a good look if you're complaining about this![]()
