A Georgia family says they were turned away from a restaurant citing the “gentleman’s dress code.”
The family says they were turned away because of a four-year-old boy’s sleeveless Ninja Turtle shirt.
The hostess and the manager both told the family they would have to leave.
The family says they saw the sign at the entrance that says no sleeveless shirts, but they did not think it applied to the little boy.
“If we would have thought for a minute that he was inappropriately dressed, we would have gone to a different restaurant to save the embarrassment,” said the boy’s aunt.
A company spokesperson later issued the statement, “Rule does not apply for children and ladies – for gentleman only. It was an embarrassing misunderstanding on our part. She’s a manager in training who had a gross misunderstanding of our policy. We apologize and are reaching out to the family.”
