The Shirt Police

No shirt, No shoes, No service. We have all seen the signs on the doors of businesses.

Today, I made the mistake of waiting on a young man with no shirt. I have to admit, I didn't notice the fact he was not wearing a shirt. (gee, I'm getting old) He was covered with a black substance which either came from working with metal or asphalt. It is a hot day. I noticed those things.

I think I understand the reason for this rule - health reasons. The part I don't understand; when someone comes in that has "some" clothing on but shows more skin than this guy with no shirt. That's just called sexy?

It wasn't made clear to me how to handle the situation in the future.. I might just tell him to give his money to his friend to pay for his coffee and let the "shirt police" usher him out of the premises.
