Burger King Kicks Out Baby for Violating "No Shoes" Rule
Most restaurants in the U.S have a "no shoes, no shirt, no service" policy, which is pretty understandable. A Burger King in St. Louis, however, takes enforcing this policy to the extreme, asking a mother to leave because her 6-month-old baby was not wearing shoes.
Jennifer Frederich, her mother, and Fredrich's infant daughter, Kaylin, stopped at the Sunset Hills, MO Burger King on Sunday. The baby was not wearing shoes, and the thought that this would violate the "no shoes, no shirt, no service" policy would never cross most people's minds.
Workers, however, told the family that they had to leave because the shoeless baby was violating a health code. Shoelessness is not even a health code violation in St. Louis County.
Burger King's corporate headquarters apologized for the treatment of the family, and on Thursday released a statement indicating that the workers at the Sunset Hills Burger King had taken the policy too far:
"Our franchisee, which independently owns and operates this restaurant, apologizes for this guest's experience. The franchisee is retraining his restaurant team on the proper use of the 'no shoes' policy."
The owner of the franchise also contacted Frederich o apologize in person.

I was amazed to read this, then again I was in a Target store and employess were more worried about their next break over helping customers. Seems the work ethic has gone to crap. But they want higher pay.
They should go to China or Japan where most of the products they buy are made by people that love having their jobs and lifelstyle in return.
I do agree with this if the people know this that you don't allow with or without any thing, then it is their responsibility then they should not go against it. As we all know this most of the restaurants in the U.S have a "no shoes, no shirt, no service" policy - like:Alibaba, all the people should do care of these things. It's make valuable in the world.
