Love Grady, great football player, but he was in Buckhead, it happens. Don’t let it ruin your life.
I was denied me service for wearing nice jeans, so I’ve been denied service for a dress code.
I’ve also been to a 5 ?? restaurant with a dress code, where they loaned me a dinner jacket, or I had to leave.
Every time I went back, I learned and wore a jacket.
Never showed up with sweats though. Jeans and a dinner jacket were my problems.
Been thrown out of other places for being rowdy, even a strip joint by a black bouncer, not racist.
Doesn’t seem racial, or he would be suing them.
Never been tossed out of Wal-Mart…..
Grady and Dominique should open their own restaurant with no dress code.
Call it a Sports Bar….. I would go!

Right or far right don't shriek about anything except forced communism. The left shrieks about most everything. The double maskers that melt down about others not wearing one are leftist Karens. EVERYTIME.

I have no problem with an upscale restaurant having a dress code and enforcing. You are paying for more than just great food when you go.
Also, I wouldn’t mind airlines having a baseline dress code. You don’t need to wear a suit or dress but at least don’t dress like a 3am Walmart shopper.

I think that if Grady would have tucked those white strings in, they probably wouldn't have noticed that it was sweats he had on bc those sweats looked pretty dang nice!!! And yes, I think the restaurant person was nit picking, he could have quietly told Grady to go to the rest room and tuck the strings in, and also told Grady that in the future to remember that sweats just wasn't allowed even though his looked very nice, and went about his business, and no problem!!!

Doesn't mean it meets the dress code!! I'm sure plenty of others have been turned away just like it was mentioned. Just because you are multi-millionaires doesn't mean you can wear what you want to an establishment that has a code.
Jarrett's attire is definitely not what I see in 5* restaurants. Dress accordingly, no issue!

Dress accordingly, but it is tough to judge in this situation. Yes, technically he didn't meet the dress code but in the restaurant's statement, they admit to relaxing the dress code. At that point, it just comes down to a matter of consistency. If there were others in similar attire, then the restaurant needs to make sure that different people will make the same judgement call. Likely one host/hostess was a little more liberal about the standards, than the one that dealt with Jarrett.
Seems like a little more is being made of it than should be, but that is the time we are living in. I'll buy him dinner if he wants. The places that are "fine dining" for me would be looking him up and down too, but for the quality of his attire.

Re:TNET: Clemson pro G.Jarrett / All Orange has right answer

All Orange, you have the correct answer.
No need to make a big scene out of it; have a private conversation with the customer, ask hi tuck in the strings, and to not wear athletic wear next time.
It reads like G.Jarrett is a regular customer; he's also a local celebrity. If he comes back again in improper attire, THEN its perfectly correct to ask him to leave.
But not the first time with this minor 'dress code violation' thing.

I disagree. You’re within your rights to enforce codes of dress and conduct that you put in place for your business.
Also, Grady Jarret isn’t a local celebrity in Atlanta. Most people Wouldn’t recognize him on the street.

A Gucci sweatsuit is still a sweatsuit.

Good for the restaurant for sticking to their dress code. The sense of entitlement some people have today is upsetting.
I’m sure this will be turned into a racial thing, but it isn’t.

I showed up with several white people and several black people to an establishment with a dress code. I went in second and one of my black friends went in last. I had baggier pants on then he did and he was refused. I came out and we switched in the parking lot and he was still refused. Im not saying it happened in this case but yes it does happen.

If your boxers or butt was showing or his, then you wouldn't enter my upscale restaurant either. Dont care if you are rich/poor or if you are white or black
Feel like its being made an issue for a simple dresscode. I don't care if that sweatsuit cost $10 or $100k it still isnt a button down shirt with an over coat that could be removed during dinner.
I think Dawn Staley $5k letterman jacket that was green and white Louis Vuitton was not appropriate attire for nationals. Wasnt school colors nor professional. It was just a statement that she can afford high dollar athletic gear. It wouldn't be approved either in this restaurant
Unfortunately, those in the media along with others will use it to stir the racial pot when its store policy.
If its a sports coat or better code, then comply and don't make it an issue. Entitled has become a major issue in society, and I don't care what ethnicity you are.

I dunno ... some dreads are nicely groomed, others look like someone had just come through a hurricane.
Similar to long hair on a white guy. Although I think it's weird for guys to be a half century out of fashion with the long hair thingy, if it's combed out and doesn't stink like Meth then that should be OK.
But for the G.Jarrett / dress code thing ... especially since G.Jarrett is a repeat patron and probably recognizable by the restaurant due to his status as a local celebrity ... the proprietor should have had a private conversation with him to remind Grady of the dress code, and to please wear appropriate nice shirt and pants, clean socks and shoes next time.

How can you say it's not a racist thing when most dreadlocks are worn by people of one particular race? ??. Then you have the nerve to say " this is not a race thing " to cover yourself. I've never been to a place that turns down mullets for example, you know why bc white people wear that style. He stated he might have been wrong and accepted being turned away but there were other people, people wearing athletic attire and they were there eating. It wouldn't be based on race if they didn't selectively chose who they impose the dress code on. Get a life .

How do you know that? Because Grady said so?
Apr 22, 2022, 5:46 PM
|

I would tend to believe Grady more had he taken out his phone and taking a picture of someone else dressed like him. Or waited outside until someone else walked out dressed like him. I’m sorry. I don’t take people‘s word for these things. People get offended by the slightest thing these days and lie. Just because he went to Clemson doesn’t mean the same thing couldn’t happen.
And I love the way people are making all types of comments like a private conversation or pull him aside or the staff must know who he is. I see a lot of assumptions being made in the comments.
I see how it can be very believable that a high-end restaurant like that would not know who Grady Jarrett is. I hate to break it to you people but most of the world doesn’t revolve around football. And if they turned away Dominique Wilkins who has been a true celebrity in Atlanta for more than 30 years then I’m inclined to believe the restaurant.
And I don’t care if other people have been dressed a little bit differently. If you have money and you’re going to an expensive restaurant dress like it. Don’t think that you can wear a sweat suit, no matter how expensive, and think you are going to be entitled because you’re an athlete or have money.
This isn’t Jersey or South Florida. This isn’t a mob owned restaurant. Once you have a certain amount of money act like you’ve been there before. Especially if you’re a college graduate. That goes for anyone. Regardless of race.

It's tough to say if it is racial or not. I agree that the reaction has been, but we really don't know about the refusal. If there were other patrons dressed similarly, why were they admitted? There is a good chance that they were seated by another host or hostess, not as strict about the dress code. Maybe they were women, since athletic wear on a woman is much more likely to be viewed as casual wear rather than a sweatsuit. You would be correct to say that it most likely was not racial, but it is not a given. There are plenty of people that would look at Grady Jarrett in the sweatsuit and think drug dealer, instead of successful and comfortable.

Glad you were on premise and can attest with 100% certainty that there were no other patrons wearing sports attire. You can’t resist bashing a Clemson football player even when you have no idea what actually happened.

He probably wasn’t wearing acceptable dress either. That has nothing to do with racism.
I call bull on Grady saying other people in the restaurant were wearing what he was wearing. Literally every time these stories come out, the person crying racism is lying.

...and enforce it across the board, I appreciate what they're doing.
While some may disagree on what is a sweatsuit or not - "casual" is even more nebulous.
I wish both parties would rise above this...hope the restaurant is treating everyone (regardless of skin color) the same, and hope folks respect what a private establishment is (and isn't).

I believe everyone agrees with that. However, show the proof that a white personal in sweats was seated.
I firmly believe if a business blatantly discriminates, then they shouldn’t be in business. However, too often these allegations prove to not be an apples to apples comparison.

Without pictures or some type of evidence of people dressed like him either in the restaurant or going in and out I’m not inclined to believe him. I’m not taking his word just because he graduated from Clemson.
If he was a graduate of South Carolina or Florida state would you believe him? I’m willing to think no. You believe him only because he went to Clemson. That is utterly ridiculous.

elsewhere. Its really not that hard. Are standards applied unequally - yes, all the time, based on a host of factors. However, you know or should know, what standard attire is required. Either dress accordingly, or go elsewhere. It is not hard.
