I'm Too [Fill in the Blank] for the Plane

Not again. From World Hum (and a bunch of other sources) comes this ridiculous story of a young woman [oops, revise this: kicked off a plane] lectured by flight attendants for being, well, too freakin' hot. I guess. Southwest Airlines apparently didn’t care for the skirt and top that 23-year-old college student and Hooters waitress Kyla Ebbert wore aboard a flight two months ago from San Diego to Tucson. Reported the San Diego Union-Tribune this week, Ebbert “had a doctor’s appointment that afternoon in Tucson, where temperatures had topped 106 all week. She arrived at Lindbergh Field [in San Diego] wearing a white denim miniskirt, high-heel sandals, and a turquoise summer sweater over a tank top over a bra.” The U-T has a photo of said outfit.

No Shirt. No Shoes. No Service. Does this business standard need revamping?

Not so long ago, customers understood the rules. In order to be served or enter a business establishment you had to adhere to easy to follow dress codes. The rules were simple Today, not so much. If you go to London you better have clean clothing.
