MorahRach, sorry about your bad experience. These girls were obviously immature and untrained, and the mom apparently not a native English speaker, probably lacking social skills. However, if the sign was outside I don’t think that prompted their rudeness.
The people that started the whole fiasco in Williamsburg were not offended, they are trying to make a statement about their freedom to ignore social norms and dress however they like.
That’s the puzzle here, even Zdad seems to agree that these stores were within their legal rights, everybody is welcome provided they dress accordingly. This didn’t stop the city from slapping these stores with an unwarranted lawsuit.
HaifaGirl: you mean like flaunting grammar rules? Or are these the most cardinal of sins? Sorry I couldn’t resist.
