New bar dresscodes show 'contempt for clientele'
By

I am writing to voice my total disgust with Molly’s and Starbusters for changing their dress policy. I for one will never go to either of these bars again.

For these two establishments, Molly’s especially, to outright ban everyday clothing items such as hats and hoodies, shows their utter contempt for, and lack of understanding of their clientele.

Personally, I think do-rags and bling look foolish and ridiculous, but in America we have the right to wear whatever we want as it pertains to the law.

People who wear hats, hoodies, do-rags, bling, etc. have every right to wear what they want, when they want and how they want, regardless of how ridiculous it appears. I wear hoodies and hats almost 95 percent of the time.

Looks like I will be wearing them in a different bar from now on. I look forward to giving my money to bars that don’t think they are better than what they are. I hope everyone does the same, and Molly’s and Starbusters get a
dose of reality.
