3411 Gentlemen, please remove your hats
We went to a nice, not elaborate, restaurant last night for Greek cuisine instead of our usual Rusty Bucket (Sports Bar) date. Dinners $15-25, wait staff all dressed in black and well groomed. The attire was casual, but clean jeans and Christmas-present-shirt type. Almost no one in cut offs and sweats. In white slacks and a red jacket, I might have been the most over-dressed. It's a happy place with fake Greek decor--naked statues, grape leaves, that sort of stuff. The tables are filled with Friday after work comrades, widow friendships and family groups.Does it sound sort of antiquated and old fashioned, like manners; is it too much to expect a guy to take off his baseball cap in a full service restaurant in the evening? The guy at the next table never took off his cap. I couldn't tell if he was with his mom or his date, or if his IQ was a bit low--it was sort of dark. Grow up fellas. Little League is over.

He probably is just lacking in manners, but I do find that some who wear their hat all the time are just embarassed by having outgrown their hair. One of my employees wore a hat for the first seven years he worked for me. One day he took it off, and I had no idea who he was. Turned out he went almost completely bald at 23.
But here's a question: Why, if baldness is such a negative, are so many doing it on purpose. Can't figure it out.
