Baseball cap in restaurant?

[Cal.]

I went out to a restuarant with a few friends today. I was wearing a baseball cap, plain white t-shirt, flannel shirt tied around my waist and some ripped jeans. Anyway, whilst waiting for our table in the restaurant, a waitress walked passed and asked me to remove my baseball cap. I said I didn't want to (I hadn't done my hair which was the whole reason I wore the cap) and she said we would have to be seated outside then so we did sit outside (my party were more than happy to join me).

Would you wear a baseball cap to a restaurant?

[Crimson Dynamo]

good for her

hats indoors is rude

at my golf club you would not get within 5 paces of the clubhouse with a cap on

[TaylorCallum]

I don't wear baseball caps but I don't think it's an issue at all. Why did she want you to remove your hat? It's a restaurant not a fashion show :umm2:.

If it's sunny outside and I'm wearing sunglasses I sometimes just leave them on when I go into shops or restaurants, some people think that's weird but I don't know why they care. If they don't like wearing specific things indoors then don't, other people can do what they like.

"Cal, take that thing off your head"
"I'd like to keep it on please"
"This is a restaurant, what part of that do you not understand?"

Times change. I think it'll be a generation opinion divide. Nowadays in lectures/meetings loads of people wear hats in doors, in classes also. Whereas I think people from different ages will have learnt wearing hats indoors is rude, whereas for younger people it's not seen like that.

I can understand if the restaurant was posh/classy though.

Like Douglas said below, it's probably a generational thing. I don't see it as rude at all - it's just a fashion choice. I wear caps out of convenience - it means if I'm in a hurry to get ready I don't have to spend time doing my hair.

I agree with you. If people don't agree with wearing hats indoors then don't wear hats indoors but let the people who want to wear hats indoors wear them.

Just some spoons knock off. Meal and a drink for like £6. It's classy in the evening though.

I agree with you. It's definitely a generational thing. Some people were brought up to believe hats indoors is a sign of ignorance/rudeness/disrespect and some people weren't. I understand some people will never go against their parents' values that they were brought up to believe in but I just kind of think people should be able to wear what they want.

It's got cheap offers on in the day (when I went) but it's a classy restaurant and bar in the evening. I didn't kick up a fuss I just said I didn't want to remove my cap and so she seated us outside.

[reece(:]

She went Chanelle and clocked off your cap?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its about standards

I dont think, for example, GMB should allow any person on their sofa in sunglasses. (hello the "Jacksons") also rude

People should not be served in a restaurant with no top on

you draw a line and stick to it

this is Britain

I wore one in an exam and was asked to take it off (which is understandable) but if it was in a Restaurant I'd take my money elsewhere. Would they ask you to remove a Burkha, Hijab, or a Niqab?

absolutely

leave that crap at home

[Josy]

Wearing a cap inside a restaurant is rude, get some bloody manners.

[Braden]

Well, I see how you could get away with it at McDonalds, but if it was a nice restaurant then it only makes sense for you to be asked to take it off.

I would never wear a hat inside,it's bad mannered,

[Vanessa]

Does it really matter if you wear a hat or not? I don't think so, unless it's a fancy restaurant. Otherwise no one cares. :laugh:

[Cal.]

In your opinion and the way you've been accustomed to. I haven't been accustomed to that but I have manners. A tad rude to suggest I don't have them just because of a fashion choice.

[Jake.]

Another stupid "rule" that actually makes zero sense. Why is it rude? Nonsense, you wear whatever you want my love

[jennyjuniper]

I think it's polite to remove your hat indoors.

[Cherie]

Depends on the restaurant I was away recently with my sons they both wore baseball caps as neither had got their hair cut before we went, It used to be considered rude but like elbows on tables we are not in the 1950s and as long as the place hasn't got a dress code I don't see the issue

[Marsh.]

I was wearing a baseball cap, plain white t-shirt, flannel shirt tied around my waist and some ripped jeans.

I love Nickelodeon stars circa 1996.

[Babayaro.]

I don't see the problem tbh. I would wear mine to a restaurant.

[Headie]

Wear you wearing it front facing or backwards?

I only ever wear caps backwards and as far as I can remember I've never been asked to take it off in a restaurant (although I don't know if I've actually worn one in a restaurant tbf). I'd wear it in college classrooms too and teachers would never take issues with it :shrug:

[armand.kay]

I don't normally leave my hat on when I'm sitting on the table so cant relate x

[LukeB]

I wore my cap backwards in a restaurant and i forgot to take it off but they didn't say anything to me. I don't think it should be an issue.

[hijaxers]

Caps are very schoolboy though.
Why would you want a large plastic clip right across the front of your head ?

[Locke.]

Should have been the ripped jeans they kicked you out for

[Daniel-X]

I also go to restaurants

[thesheriff443]

Golfers wear those silly sun visers.

Its going to be based on individual dress codes at each restaurant and if they have one.

Also if your an a lister, I don't think anyone would ask you to remove a cap.

People wear all sorts in the name of fashion and I'm sure we all got some dodgy photos in clothes that were in fashion at the time or trendy.

And note the word trendy, now its trending.

[Locke.]

Can't beat a nice pair of skinny jeans can you Danny boy

[Gstar]

I guess the correct thing to do is take it off but I don't see why it would be as much of an issue to confront you about it. Wendy Williams always taught me to be as cooperative as I can with waiters/waitresses as they have the power of saliva .. if you know what I mean

I've worn beanies to eat out before.. I'm surprised they'd ask you/are allowed to ask you to take it off

[Littlegreen]

It brings down the reputation, especially if it's quite a sophisticated place. They may also think you are trouble and could rob 'em.

[Novo]

You can't wear tracksuit bottoms after a certain time here, I walked in wearing my football kit, shorts, shinpads, astros after playing in Wales and the guy said to my friend who was wearing tracksuit pants " this is going to sound strange but he's actually allowed in but your not " so he had to go back and get changed (I couldn't be bothered anyway to much time) so yeah go to wethers in your kit about 8 or 9 and your fair game, very strange logic though

[JTM45]

what about a man with no top at all?

That's a whole different thing.
If it's hot enough to have your top off then you'll probs be sweaty which is just a no in an eating establishment.:nono:
Top off is only really done outdoors on a hot day or perhaps in your house.

A hat (especially a baseball cap) really shouldn't be an issue. They're generally worn as part of your entire rather than an only outdoor thing.

A Fedora or Panama hat or something wouldn't be so cool though because it's a lot more imposing indoors.

As long as you look decent and clean it shouldn't matter what you're wearing on your head. Some people wear hats because they're going bald or even losing their hair due to chemo or something so the ****ing waitress should consider that and mind her own. Concentrate on 'waiting' not on what you're wearing!

I went for a meal in a really nice restaraunt just last week wearing a baseball cap and it wasn't given a glance even.

[JTM45]

Police probably wouldn't even come out to a Hotdog cart. :shrug:

That's fine because i don't have any Rupert the Bear trousers so i wouldn't fit in anyway. You know what they say about golf clubs don't you ?

[Paula D]

Hats indoors are not classy, end of.

Was it a really fancy place or something? I don't see the problem tbh, it's just a hat

And as a customer you have the choice to go elsewhere 'cause there's plenty of extremely high-end restaurants that don't live in the dark ages and appreciate your custom.
As long as you act respectably and are clean a restaurant shouldn't even have the right to dictate or even comment on what you wear.

yes.


the reason people remove hats (not worn so much nowadays sadly) was that if you're wearing a hat indoors, it suggests that you have someplace better to be (ie was deemed rude).

Just a common courtesy

[JTM45]

Me too! **** 'em.
Like i said earlier, if i went into a restaraunt with, for example, my Dad who was going out for a meal for the first time after having had brain surgery and someone tried to tell him to take his hat off i would not be responsible for my actions.
It really makes me angry in this day and age that people still think they can run establishments where they can dictate what you have to wear to spend your money in there or even if you can even eat/drink in there if you happen to be a woman!
Time for them to step into the 21st Century!

Which "high end" restaurants are you referring to, where they're okay with you rocking up in a baseball cap? I'm intrigued to know...

The restaurant has the right to impose a dress code. It's the same thing as some bars at resorts not wanting you in their bar without a shirt.

No one needs to change. Most teenagers wouldn't know a decent restaurant if it collapsed on top of them, not till their older. And then once they're older, they'll understand why some places don't want you in there in your playing out clothes.
