Absolutely agree!

Next time I eat at a truck stop, I shall demand that everyone uncover immediately. If there is any confusion, I shall quote Emily Post.

Depends on your definition of mess hall....I was referring to the chow line alongside the deuce and a half....so the mess hall was a nearby stack of sandbags...
Just trying to inject a little humor.

12 of us had breakfast at Son Rise Cafe after golf and those that had worn caps golfing kept them on.
Believe me we look better with caps on rather than a bunch of hat hair.
Having read this before today I looked around and saw a lot of caps.
I do agree a better restaurant like Bonefish, Palmer etc. I would not wear a cap.
How about the wife beater shirts some wear out in public?

Default Respectfulness out the window

It is nice to see "gentleman" take their hats off in a restaurant. However, I think this respectful act has gone put the window......kinda like blowing your nose at the table. That use to be taboo too.

Ewww that makes me lose my appetite and my lunch.

It would be nice if they would excuse themselves and go to the restroom to blow their nose.

I know, I know this is the new norm just wishful thinking.

I find hats in restaurants less obtrusive than cell phone conversations while I'm dining

Hats on in a restaurant are better than thinly veiled meanness anywhere.


Good manners are only the use of kindness written down.


Most of us don't need to read Emily Post and things have changed a bit since our mom's taught us how to act in public. But sadly you can't make rules to make people nice in their hearts.

It's been about 8 years since I played a round of golf at Bay Hill. Arnie requires you to remove your hat indoors there----and you were told to do so if you didn't. Those were Arnie's rules.

As a kid I rarely wore a hat unless playing ball. I should have been more careful about the sun and I wouldn't have to see a dermatologist as often.

IMHO gentlemen take off their hats while indoors. That's what father said and father knows best!

I agree with the post regarding loud mouth people in a restaurant----they disturb my peace more that someone wearing a hat or cap.

A real gentlemen never keeps his hat on inside a building. It might be old fashion, but good manners never go out of style. Unfortunately, the younger generation never were taught this nor was it ever enforced. Growing up, I removed my sons hat many a time until he knew enough to remove it himself.

I apologize, it was me but I was in a pinch and the removal of my hat may have been more insulting than the hat itself. For the most part I agree with you, men should remove their hats while dining out however we have to remember this is a golfing community and a lot of us come from the course directly to the CC for dinner or drinks and for the most part it is very warm here in Central Fl which causes some of us to perspire profusely which results in some very unappealing hairdos. I for one usually keep a hair brush in my car for just such a occasion but have as yet to acquire a brush for my golf cart (its on order). Even with the brush the hair can be less than appealing. So its a conundrum, a dichotomy, hat on insulting, hat off grotesque! What about that dog poop thing now that's a problem.

Please don't blame the "younger generation" for this issue. I sat at Glenview tonight and watched at least a half-dozen seasoned" men eat with their hats on. I also noticed some who removed their hats. Maybe it's a regional issue? But don't think younger people have cornered the market on rudeness, it's prevalent across the age spectrum.

Blowing your nose is no problem for me, except for the ones that are loud, juicy honkers.

it takes a certain lack of class not to know how to dress for particular venues, and occasions. a tank top with exposed hairy armpits and chest hair is not something that i find remotely appetizing when dining at a non-fast food restaurant. (think Mezza Luna, yes, it happened to me). going to church in shorts, tshirts with inappropriate sayings, and please....wear some underwear under your sweatpants.
