Some things are good to preserve, and I think this is one of them. The gesture denotes respect for the place and occasion, to me. Now that I think about it, maybe Chipotle or Chili's are the establishments this generation of hatted diners deserves.

This outdated notion of respect is absurd to me. It's just clothing.

By all means, you do you. I'm not judging you at Sbarro with your hat on. I think at this point it's a dead tradition. Agree with you there.

I'm anticipating a cultural impasse between you and I on the actual gesture though, so I'll grab my hat and be on my way.

How dare you accuse me of setting foot in a Sbarro!

Laughing at the idea of a nice restaurant loaning me a jacket for dining but not asking me to take off my Billabong hat.

Help me out here, folks. I thought this was common knowledge.

I have really terrible hat hair. It would be extremely disrespectful for me to remove my hat. People would probably lose their appetites.

yep. as a young airman, i walked into the chow hall of my first--and only--duty station, in civilian clothes, and forgot to take my hat off--i was wearing it backward too, i think. i was stopped immediately by a table of three chief master sergeants, one of which decided to make an example out of me in front of the whole place...just absolutely laying into me. while he was telling me what a shitbag i was, a kid wearing a long stocking cap walked right by, and no one said a thing.

i miss the chow hall.

Same. Even when I have my hair really short, like now.
