Does the church lose its congregation as well if hoodies are banned at the door?

Dunno how many times I have passed Lucky Strikes to see hood rats get rejected at the door or one in a group of friends sees the big glaring dress code sign and starts dropping the f-bomb all over the place ["they're racist! racist! Hey, what's MC colors? What's that?"]

A while back there was one of those "I love you/I hate you" things in City Paper to Lucky Strikes. Guy was going off about how they suck because they wouldn't let him in wearing his cabbie hat and it's discrimination and blah blah and f this and f them and he's never going to go there. I don't think they'll miss his business. The best part was, he didn't go in and meet his friends because of it. I guess the hat was sewn to his head. Either that, or he was some super insecure chrome dome that didn't want to expose his flaws.

ALL hats are banned from Lucky Strikes.

I dunno what they would do if you're wearing a turban or you're Nation of Islam and you try to go in in a burqa---but seems they want to make sure your face clearly registers on the CCTV when you walk in.

Big baggy clothes are a no no, and in the summer those XXXXL tee and polo shirts are out.

It doesn't eliminate the possibility but it does make it a bit harder to sneak a firearm in there, if you're male at least.

Yeah, he found it. When the cops picked it up and matched it to the one he was still wearing when he showed up at Einstein with a bullet gash in his head.

According to a cop friend of mine, people in the department have nicknamed him "Cinderella"

Next item up for bid if you guys elect me as mayor: All city schools will have a black and white dress code. Black slacks, white dress shirt tucked in, and a choice of scarves, jackets, shoes and belts and belt-styles from a pre-approved list.

No child will be permitted to enter school property unless they're up to the dress code. They'll also get turned away at the bus. It'll make it easier to spot which kids are at least going to school and which ones are being retarded and hanging out at the malls. It also lowers the clique-ism a bit when every kid looks identical. You can dress like an urban warrior at home, but not when you're supposed to be going to school to get an education so you can get a JOB and have RESPONSIBILITIES that don't include shooting someone when they bump into you at a bowling alley with children in it (look at the video, I spotted 3 kids).

Been there, done that. In fact, the dress code is still in effect, but everybody has their own interpretations and many don't enforce it at all because they can't.
