Chased out of MacDonals due clothing attire
Hello Peter,
I tried to write on MacDonalds Facebook page to report the following, but to no avail.
MacDonalds Beacon Bay, East London, Eastern Cape.
Yesterday around 15:00 I went to buy my kids ice cream, as been our two to three times a week ritual as a way or rewarding my kids.
A while back I stopped using their drive through because the line would he ridiculously long. But unfortunately even the 1st time I decided to go in i only received my 3 kiddies meal order and 3 ice cream exactly an hour later. No apologies or explanations were offered. But that did not stop me from continuing buying from there because it's the nearest to where I live and kids love it.
Well yesterday was about the 4th time I had gone inside on foot. All 3 times I had been dressed into the similar fashion I was dressed in yesterday. (I tried attaching a picture of my attire yesterday, but it won't go through). I wore a long bottom Maasai cloth to ankle length and another wrapped and tied at my chest well above my breasts to my waist where it meets the skirt bottom Maasai cloth.
The lady politely told me they can't let me in because I'm not dressed. I asked but how am I not dressed, she touched the bottom of my tummy where a small flesh showed at the waistline. By little I mean not even as much as a palm size. Please note, I work for a large department where I go to work dressed in the same fashion, go to restaurants and family functions dressed in the same way without problems.
I proceeded to tell the lady that this is how I've been coming into their store and no one's ever chased me out for being inappropriately dressed. She told me that clearly SHE hadn't seen me. I told her that she's actually served me once before dressed exactly in this manner.
I was in disbelief and did not want to get myself upset, so I drove to the next ice cream serving franchise, which is slightly further than the MacDonalds we use.
In new MacDonalds to tell me what part of me was underdressed from the pic below and what is their staff informed to look out for to chase us out.
I'm still I disbelief and quite enraged now by what happened. I just thank God that my snail slow anger prevailed. I just hate that it's got me worked up now a day later instead of resolving the issue yesterday somehow.
Regards Lolita
