Should "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service" apply to infants?

Asked by Supacase (14563points) August 7th, 2009

This Burger King made a woman with a 6 month old leave because the child had no shoes on. She tried to put socks on the child, but he still made them leave and threatened to call the police. They ate quickly then left.

Personally, I never took my daughter out without at least socks on at any age. It’s just a personal preference. I have no particular problem with other babies being barefoot in public places.

I would not have eaten my food quickly and left. I would have have eaten elsewhere and, hopefully, the 25 people with me would have followed suit. For that matter, why did he even let her place an order?

However… if her argument is that the baby cannot walk and therefore should not be subject to the shoe rule, would a person in a wheelchair be exempt as well?

I am curious to hear what others think.
