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.
