Burger King Manager Threatens to Call Police Due to BARE BABY FEET!
"You can order To Go, but you cannot have your baby with bare feet inside the restaurant".
What. The. CRAP?
SUNSET HILLS, MO (via KTVI - FOX2now.com) - No shoes, no shirt, no service: there is word that the manager of a St. Louis County restaurant threatened to kick out a six-month old baby and her mother because the baby wasn't wearing shoes. The infant's mom says the restaurant is taking the policy too far. Jennifer Frederich said the manager of the Sunset Hills Burger King at 10734 Sunset Hills Plaza cited 'health concerns'.
Frederich said her daughter, Kaylin, was too young to even get her feet dirty; she couldn't walk, couldn't crawl, her feet still pretty much too small for shoes.
"Everybody loves baby feet," she said.
Yet she said those feet nearly got the baby, her mom and her grandmother, booted from the restaurant, as grandma was holding Kaylin at the counter and the cashier took their order.
"The manager was standing next to him said, 'you can order "to go" but you're going to have to leave if she doesn't have shoes on'. He said, 'it's against health code'," Frederich said.
Frederich said she was taking her church youth group to the Rock the River concerts under the Gateway Arch, Sunday; she, her mother, daughter, and about 25 others, stopped at the Burger King on the way; Frederich's mother went in with the baby first; then Frederich came in with the rest of the group.
"The guy was still saying, 'that lady is still here with that baby without shoes'," Frederich said. "I just looked at him and I said, 'that's my daughter. She doesn't own shoes. She's only 6 months old'... she doesn't walk. She's not touching the ground. So there's no reason for her to have shoes on."
Still, a sign on the door did say, "shoes and shirt required". So, Frederich said she put socks on the baby in an effort to comply; but the manager threatened to call police, so the group ate hurriedly and left."
All of you who know me just KNOW how I would've reacted to this, had it been me with my grandson, Felix (whose feet are shown above). I'd be on Nancy Grace, Jane Velez-Mitchell, The View, Larry King, Oprah, (only the best for Felix's toes!), knocking Michael Jackson off of the top story for the day.
Where's my fire extinguisher? My hair's on fire again.
