Yeah, those signs are dishonest.  They you can't get any service if you are wearing shoes and shirt but no pants.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Many restaurants are in cities. You don't go into the city wearing shorts unless you're a child or an American.

The TV show The Crown has JFK giving the queen a Tiffany framed portrait of himself.  Maybe US presidents always give narcissistic, shitty presents to the queen.

Shorts are comfortable, and are appropriate attire in places with an actual climate where it's warm in summer months.

No. Adults shouldn't dress like children, though I know that this is the American way.

Adults don't let other adults tell them how to dress, and certainly don't care about what someone else thinks is appropriate versus what is actually comfortable and practical.

Berkut lives in upstate New York so being able to wear shorts is the best weekend of the year.

So you don't actually care about freedom?

Berkut wears jean cut-offs and is probably a never-nude.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

:huh:

I wouldn't wear shorts to a nice dinner but shorts in general are a children's thing? Sometimes they are the only practical option in hot weather unless one wants to be a puddle of sweat.

What do you give a person you aren't that interested in meeting and already owns a government?

When I go to restaurants, it is quite obvious that westerners are usually much better dressed than Chinese.  It almost seems that westerners go to formal restaurants only to celebrate certain occasions, whereas Chinese just consider going to good restaurants as part of the family routine. 


Well, yeah, d'oh.  I would think anyone as tight with money as you would understand not paying for an expensive meal except on certain occasions.  The vast majority of us very rarely eat at a fancy place, and we don't worry much about how we're dressed otherwise.

Another thing that I notice is that westerners tend to go all out when they go to restaurants.  They order tons of drinks, wine, wine-pairing, lots of dishes, tip generously, etc.  Chinese tend to order less, especially drinks.

You do PR for some niche American product.
