    WRT the specific examples you give: Legally? Yes. Restaurants should be allowed to have a dress policy with the understanding that boycotting, sign carrying, a complaint to authorities, and a lawsuit may result if there is, for example, a reasonable perception of discrimination on religious grounds.

    Morally? Yes, except if the patron is likely to starve if not fed.

    Apart from being required to wear clothes, dress codes are an abomination. They should never be enforced.

    Why then would you enforce a law outlawing nude dining, if it required diners to sit on a dinner napkin for sanitation purposes?

    I am willing to allow that diners be required to wear clothes. But not for specifying what type of clothes they should be.

    So, a tie will do?

    Resturants should give preferential treat to hot looking ladies in tight clothes, low cut blouses and short shorts! 😀😀😀

    So if you're in a posh formal dining type restaurant that requires a tie, etc you think it's an abomination to turn away people who want to come in dressed like dumpster-diving bums?

    What about profanity on those clothes?

    I think that informal peer pressure to conform to socially accepted dress codes is sufficient. Beyond the base requirement that people be clothed, I don't think any institutionalized enforcement is advisable. Restaurants could post guidelines that they prefer their patrons adhere to, but they should not turn anyone away that falls short of them.

    Then I cannot begin to describe your level of suck.

    If your way of thinking ever becomes law, I hope you and your kids enjoy the trashy level of garbage you profess to.

    You are single, right?

    Because I've taken my kids to nice places and seen scumbags dressed like azzholes and wished they were somewhere else.

    What's your excuse for denying a simple sense of propriety in social settings?

    Are you mad because you only wear sweat pants and t-shirts or something?
