McDonald's has now added a new regulation on its rule book for its customers, and this time it demands its customers not to wear certain type of clothing that shows off underwear, Yahoo! Shine reported Friday.
That right! Our favorite fast-food chain has imposed a new dress code aside from the typical and quite common "No shoes, no shirt, no service" guideline. Well, on the very least, this is still not true to all branches but to two Houston-area McDonald's, which has singled out its banning of customers wearing low-slung baggy trousers.
"The signs say, 'Pull your pants up or don't come in. Try to have some decency and respect for others. No one wants to see your underwear,'" a manager from one of the branches said, refusing to divulge his name. The manager added that this new dress code will not apply to young children, who are yet unaware of matters such as this.
According to McDonald's spokesperson, the new dress-code policies of the two Houston-area branches are legitimate since individual franchises are given freedom to impose rules and policies to their customers.
"It's our understanding [that the restaurants] chose to do so of their own accord and to reflect what they feel is appropriate for their community business," the McDonald's spokesperson told Yahoo! Shine via email. "We continually strive to maintain a positive restaurant environment in which everyone feels valued and accepted."
Although this case is only applicable in Houston-area McDonald's franchises, Former Mayor and now Dallas City Council Member Dwaine Caraway said that it has always been his personal mission to "stop saggers" ever since he ran for office in 2007.
Caraway added that although several businesses have followed his mission, including at least 25 McDonald's, the figures remain to be "too many to count, but not enough." He said that he has been speaking out against men, who wear clothing specifically pants that expose their underwear, adding that he is right now hoping that this movement will become nation-wide.
"They show a tremendous disrespect for society, themselves, and especially women," Caraway said. "You change the attitude of people and you have a better, safer environment in the city."
In July, Caraway faced accusations of racism because of the banning of saggy pants in the New Jersey Beach community, but he insisted that this is not about race. The Dallas Council Member, who is African American, said, "All saggers are not bad people. I'm not trying to stereotype anyone. It's an educational process," adding that rappers like Kanye West and Jay-Z will hopefully back the anti-sag movement.
"They should be the ones out front; people like their music, so they won't suffer from encouraging fun, clean, respectable behavior," Caraway told Yahoo! Shine, adding that although several artists like Jay-Z wear saggy pants during their performances on stage, they appear clean and tidy by wearing more professional attire "to the back" when not working.
