Why don't people remove their hats when dining (in or out)?

Its not just Nascar. It is society in general. Parents grew lazy and uncaring. They wanted others to teach protocols to their children without teaching them morals. It is just too much effort to spend quality time with children when giving them a $20 is much easier.\n \nThis also falls under the statutes of Liberalism. That mentality, as I have explained several times, is, "Whats in it for me?" Liberals seem to think that "EVERYTHING" is owed to them and they have to pay for nothing. Liberals seem to think they can go into a restuarant and do as they please, offend anyone they please, and be allowed to get away with it. And this is fine with them provided no one is allowed to offend them.\n \nDerekledoux, it appears to me that you are the one that needs to get friends, learn some manners and protocol. The guy asked a question and explained his reason for asking it. He singled out Nascar (obviously your passion) get over it. They are often called ball caps, would that have offended you as well? You appear to need some lessons in dealing with issues that are of a sensitive nature at least to you.

Sure, and saliva, whatever else. Hair is the most noticable. Plus, a lot of cooks don't wear gloves while making your food. I've had hairs, fingernail, a pebble, and a band aid in my food different times during my life. I've refused food because the person making it was gloveless and wiping snot on her hands while wrapping the food. I've had waiters sneeze directly at the food. All very yucky, makes me want to stay home and cook for myself!

Most do not, most of us try to take our habit out of the immediate vicinity of non-smokers, it's just that you're more likely to notice the ones that are rude about it and smoke in places where you can't reasonably avoid the smoke... the other thing is that many businesses place ashtrays or other cigarette receptacles very close to the entrance...believe me, you'd never find me with a cigarette near a doorway if more places offered me a decent place to dispose of it that was not right by the entryway.

The only people that have to salute the flag are active military personnel.  What bothers me is when people don't respect the flag by not removing their hats during the National Anthem(rednecks at NASCAR races).  People who think it's part of the freedom of speech to desecrate the flag( i.e. burning it, defecating on it, etc.).

It isn't law, but I've worked at different restaurants (in Indiana) that have different policies.  Where I work now (Outback Steakhouse), we can wear whatever earrings we want, but at other restaurants, I couldn't wear anything that dangled.  At Chi Chi's, my earrings had to be smaller than the size of a quarter.

Yes, it would be quite rude to serve anything that you yourself would not eat or drink unless you have a known problem with the dish or drink (recovering alcoholic or allergic to the food).Then again, if you had an aversion to something it would be understood if you did not serve it to anyone.\n\nSo yes, you really need to consume at least a little of whatever it is that you are serving to your guests for proper etiquette.

Tell you host/hostess or server that you'd like to move to a quieter table. You wouldn't "straighten out" your fellow guests if this were a private event, you'd bring the matter to the attention of the person hosting the event and let them handle it. \n\nThe same principle applies to public accomodations, except you can be a little demanding since you are a PAYING guest in that case. You want to eat in peace. Leave it up to managment if and how they accomodate you. If they don't handle the problem well, then you know never to go back there. \n\nDon't "punish" your server by omitting a tip. If you think the affair was really "over the top", send a letter to the owner or the parent corporation.

It is a matter of respect to there patrons.  If a child was to walk in, the parents would not wish for the child to see to pr0n on display.  I do not believe it is against the law but it is the shop discretion as to what is appropriate to be displayed.

Largely because the people who decide what should and should not be tolerated are smokers.  There is currently a bill in the NH Senate to ban smoking in all eating establishments.  It passed the House, and the Governor approves of it, but the Senate may kill it.  Why, because they all smoke!  I still hope the bill does pass.  NH is the only state in New England that does not have such a ban in place.  It has not hurt patronage to restaurants in the other states. In fact, patronage has increased.  I know there are restaurants I refuse to go into due to smoking.  I have the same problem you do compounded by anxiety reaction to a nicotine allergy.  I refuse to go into a Blakes, Friendly's or Applebees restaurant because of the smoking.  They would get my business if smoking were banned. \nI find that, generally speaking, most smokers are the most thoughtless, inconsiderate people on the planet.  They don't care if their smoking infringes on the rights of others.  They don't care if it is harmful to others.  They make a huge mess by dumping the butts all over the place because they are lazy slobs.  The worst thing is that they drop them into mulch in public landscaping thinking it is a safe spot, when it is the most dangerous spot to put it.  Mulch is highly flammable and you have no idea how many mulch fires and smolderings I have had to put out over the years!  It is their right to harm themselves, but they have no right to infringe on the rights of others who do not wish to be exposed.  Rights have to be earned, not given.  Furthermore, rights come with responsibility.  If your rights infringe upon the rights of others, then find some other way or place to assert your rights where no one else can be harmed or bothered.  That's my 2 cents!

Chef’s hats go back a long way, as long as the early 16th century. Although popular fables exist as to how the hat exactly came into picture, it is certainly to hold the hair back while cooking. The only thing to be considered is that even the smallest restaurant needs its cooks and chefs to put on the hats while cooking to avoid any unpleasant scenes due to a strand of hair in the food served to the customer.\n\nChef hats come in various shapes and sizes, depending on the chef’s number of years of experience, and so it is possible to have a hat as high as 12” for the head chef. Chef hats are made of either stiff cloth like cotton or a cotton mix or can be of the disposable kind like the paper and fiber mix hats. Also the cooks and the apprentices need to wear the hats while in the kitchen. As a matter of fact, it is one of the rules that all the cooks and chefs in the kitchen need to wear the hats to avoid losing points when the food inspector feels like making a surprise visit to the restaurant.\n\nChef hats come in one-size fits all head sizes that can fit any head size. These usually have the elastic or the Velcro fit and so can fit in almost anyone. Some restaurants that are a part of large chain of hotels or restaurants have their own logo on the hats so as to make them personalized. This lends a definite classy touch while making it obvious as to which hotel the chefs belong.\n\nChef hats come in different styles depending on the country where they are being made. A slight difference in the shape would give them a unique look. Popular chef hat models are the vertical pleats hats that are commonly used in most small restaurants in all over the world. Even the number of pleats on the hat symbolized the chef’s experience traditionally. A head chef was supposed to wear a chef hat having a hundred pleats, although it is not always true these days.\n\nChef hats are available in white, black, or a mix of white and black checkers. However, the most popular are the white chef hats that are most commonly used by chefs anywhere in the world.

When you are inside take it off.  Not much simpler than that.\n\nUnless they serve a purpose such as shade, protection or keeping warm they are useless.  Why bother wearing it sideways, backwards or upside down ?  It only makes you look like a ridiculous dimwitted fool !!!!!!

It's not wrong. It's impolite. It's very disturbing and annoying to those around you. Not to mention it makes you look as if you've never had a decent meal before. Practicing proper eating habits is simply good manners.

Must think it will/would offend someone. I have a question for you, what kind of music is allowed? If it is anything with WORDS IN IT, that's ridiculous! Oh wait' it's ridiculous already.\n\nThis is unrelated to your question, but...\nI was working one night in a restaurant I'd been at for almost two years, wearing a necklace I'd been wearing ever since I had started. It was a st. mike metal on a short chain, barely visible from the neck of my shirt ( I'm not Catholic, I just used to think it was lucky). My manager came up and told me I would have to remove it! I said no. He said yes. I refused and he left me alone about it. Can you imagine?
