If you have a dress policy, or are an upscale establishment, you should enforce those standards. Not doing so may result in immediate gains, but your reputation and long term prosperity are compromised.

Like you, I am as casual as anyone but when the place or event calls for dressing up, I'm happy to oblige.

Go into any church (Catholic, because thats all I know) and you'll see pews filled with people in shorts, jeans, revealing low cut tops, and pants...the gamut of casual. Now I'm not saying you have to dress to the nines, but a little respect goes a long way. Just this morning at mass, people in cargo shorts, flip flops, unruly hair (like they just got up)...come on...have some class~<br>xoxo ~MyraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098209577865673818.post-28488548598022370902008-03-02T14:49:00.000-08:002008-03-02T14:49:00.000-08:00In the restaurant-lounge my family used to own, we...In the restaurant-lounge my family used to own, wearers of T-shirts, shorts, caps and thongs (flip-flops for the younger generation) were sent to Bubba's Bar-b-cue Joint or a reasonable facsimile.<br><br>JimmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098209577865673818.post-76629742213851632392008-03-02T15:12:00.000-08:002008-03-02T15:12:00.000-08:00i think it is good for any person to get dressed u...i think it is good for any person to get dressed up for a special night and go out and be seen...it makes you feel better about yourself and a little make up and hairspray plus a well fitting dress or tux never hurt anyone.

I rarely put a dress on (I'm a tomboy to the limit)...yet I won't dress down when the event calls for something more formal either. I was shocked at Doc's mother's funeral at the amount of people who showed up in gaily wear, jeans, bright colors and just tacky dressing period. Doc and I both wore black....When did we lose such respect for the deceased we stopped mourning them and doing that?<br><br>Even if Doc and I just go to the Olive Garden, we are both put off by guys who wear baseball caps all through dinner. What happened to manners? If you come to my table at home wearing a cap, your going to have it knocked off your head, to me it's disrespectful.
