Williamsburg Grocery Store Dress Code

A grocery store on Lee Avenue in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York has a strict dress code to prevent shoppers dressed for this summer's extreme heat from entering.

Comments

[Abracadabra]

They forgot "No Mixed Dancing"

[R]

no please or thank you. I guess they left their manners on the street too.

[All Blacks are the Greatest Bro' !]

Sign in Whykickamoocow Pub, South Island of New Zealand...

"No shoes - No booze !"

[ruthie]

but it's ok to cheat for food stamps, medicaid etc.
that's ok right?

and R. they rarely use the word please or thank you. very.rarely.

[Dr. Mendel Mendel]

What about sandals? Mine expose about 90% of my feet skin.

[seymour]

so one one walk in in a sheer dress that all is exposed

[Bartley Kulp]

Thanks, I'll stick to the ait conditioned A&P.

[jancsibacsi]

ruthie-Not only it is ok to cheat for food stamps but it is a mitzva to deceive and cheat on sec.8and food stamps how do you think they accomplish the mitzva of pirye verube mutiply and be fruitful, only if they cheat on food stamps and sec.8 its a no brainer.

[Mike]

Did anyone call the police? This kind of activity has got to be illegal and should not be tolerated lest more stores institute this barbaric practice.

[Garnel Ironheart]

It's a private store and it's only a few degrees from "No shirt, no shoes, no service". If people don't like it, let them shop elsewhere.

[notsofrumjew]

dont see nothing wrong with the sign

private place not illegal, and someone can shop in another store

[ruthie]

mike,

garnel is correct in what he wrote but they're also
a bloc voting force.
won't get in trouble at all for the sign.
it's a sign...people should follow it...but they're not going to lay a finger on someone who's not. now there's cops, publicity, and a lawsuit. the sign means nothing. just probably makes them feel even holier.
they can pretty much do anything they want.

[Alter Kocker]

What, I should be completely uncomfortable in the city heat for the priviledge of purchasing "Kosher" foodstuffs that are overpriced, at least 5 years behind the rest of the foodservice industry in preparation and stabilization methods, loaded with nearly illegal additives and preservatives, and finally of the lowest possible quality for the highest possible price?

Thanks, but at my local supermarket, people dress as they like, the prices are competetive, some kosher is available, the patrons wash regularly etc etc etc

[Eli, what me messiah?]

hey, at least if you speak English you can wear short-sleeved shirts. (forbidden to Spanish speakers.)

[Rocky]

At a local health food store in California, there is a sign on the front door that says "We reserve the right to deny service to anyone." The sign really does look like something out of Texas in the early 1950's, as depicted in the movie "Giant".

Maybe the Williamsburg sign should have just said "No goyim".

[Vlad the Impaler]

You're all a bunch of racists. You feel comfortable spewing your bigotry because you think being Jewish gives you a pass. All you phonies would rather be accused of raping your own grandmothers than be accused of anti-black racism, would squirm with wild outrage if generalizations and negative statements, whether factual, perceived, or alleged were heaped on any other ethnic group.

This is why everyone hate the haredim:

[BS]

doesn't seem too crazy compared with other places

[Eli, what me messiah?]

Vlad, honestly, does your dad know you are using the internet?

[AztecQueen2000]

Hey, it did not say women have to wear a skirt. Guess I'll be shopping there in my jeans...

[jancsibacsi]

Vlad the Impaler-The truth really hurts doesnt it you blood sucker, fraud among the hareidim with sec8. and food stamps is the truth which you cant seem to bear.

[JK2]

No shirt, no shoes, no service is a matter of compliance with public health regulations. No problem.

I hope the no sleeveless, no low-cut applies to both sexes.

[Sarek]

JK2, good point. Will the requirements be enforced equally? I would think they legally have to, but then again, this is Brooklyn, where the DA himself practices selective enforcement.

[Wigmore]

Temperature going up to 97 today in Brooklyn. I guess there will be no shortage of chasidim at ShopRite of Borough Park where along with air conditioning and good prices, they can also hit on normal looking babes.

[Dovid]

Lubavitcher - that looks like Beit Shemesh or Mea Shearim on any night of the week, except at least these Walmart people aren't barbaric enough to go around flinging their own feces like the Haredim do.

[PrettyBoyFloyd]

Lucky for me I live in a country where I can choose to live where I want, and shop where I please, sucks for all you asshole complainers (Janci, Seymour, mike) that are stuck living in Williamsburg. You can always move to the Midwest to be closer to your rebbe. You can also alternate giving him blowjobs, since he's so lonely.

PrettyBoyFloyd -As i wrote to you before you are truly brain damaged demented, as they say in yiddish go and hangdeh of azoi vi haman hurushe.

[jancsibacsi]

Wigmore-Why not gourmet glatt why soprite?:)

[mimi]

1. Lubavitcher, it's not the annoying kids having fun that is shocking, it is the comments below the video.

2. I don't think that you are a truly a racist, but every time someone talks about bad behavior, why does someone have to show a video of black people behaving badly? That just makes YOU look bad, and doesn't prove your point.

I could post this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcMBjiILTRk

and it doesn't minimize other bad behavior.

[Anti-Kike]

You all a bunch of fucking Christ-Killing hypocritical kikes. I have my issues with Haredim who commit civil crimes, but sometimes you guys elevate ultra-Orthodox to such lofty levels. They are, after all, only human and only pieces of shit like most of you think otherwise.

I have eaten, in my pre Baal Tshuva days, in many Christian owned, pork and shellfish dispensing food establishments that post similar signs. Most of you I suspect know this. Why do you want to fool those who might not know this?

[jancsibacsi]

Anti-Kike-Go do youreself a favor and get killed you subhuman excrement.

[JK2]

You all a bunch of fucking Christ-Killing hypocritical kikes.

Why, thank you! It's nice to meet you, too.

Where?

[Brian]

Unless the sign is addressing Sephardi-Spanish speaking Jews, this appears to be translated for the sake of Latinos.

So they're imposing this dress code on gentiles as well, then? I'd love to see them kick off at an innocent Hispanic man...

[dh]

Ahhh, Anti, you radiate elegance, grace and social savoir fare. Tell us, Toastmasters? Dale Carnegie?

[Anti-Kike]

Without much effort, here's some info concerning Disneyworld's dress code: http://www.intercot.com/infocentral/dining/dresscodes/default.asp

Are you kidding me? You guys never saw a dress code posted at restaurants? It is very common especially at beach resorts where the owners don't want patrons entering in secular jew designer thongs. Sorry, Failed Messiah just brings out the anti-Semite in all of us.

[chaim]

Only food stamps and no id!

[jancsibacsi]

Anti-Kike- I told you go and get killed you piece of lawlife trash.

[Anti-Kike]

By the way, I know this is off topic but I am not sure where to post this question. What do you guys think about the Christian owned HSBC bank scandal. They allowed Christian money laundering funds pass through their bank. Apparently their rationale is business is business. An Christen HSBC administrator reportedly stated that his bank overlooked the obvious signs of illegal activity because the bottom line is money. Anyone planning to withdraw their shekels from HSBC?

[Haredi to Rumble]

And the best part is they can't spell in Spanish either. It's not rope, it's ropa.

Best translation on the door as it reads now is No low-cut rope. Maybe a problem in a hardware store, but a deli?

And by the way, how would it be taken if in a non-Haredi establishment there were a sign that said: No hats, no facial hair and no clothes reeking of body odor?
Ken

[ah-pee-chorus]

in warm weather the sign is tantamount to banning all non-charedim.

[Chaim Shichtman]

What's the difference between a sign like this and being asked to take your shoes off or wipe your feet when you enter someone's house. Even secular businesses have signs that say: "No shirt, no shoes---no service".

[john]

I like how this website has created a stereotype for chareidi people based on a few human actions which were illegal

[Korbendallas72]

No shirt no shoes no service.

DO NOT FEED THE TROLL.

Not to worry. this is all part of our international financial conspiracy with the Trilateral Commission, the IMF, and Starbucks. If you're Jewish, your money will be fine.

Didn't you get the memo?

You know Eli, sometimes the comments here about how haredim control everything are eerily similar to the growing chorus of voices in America and around the world about how the Jews and the bankers control everything and caused the entire world financial crisis.

I'm not saying that they're not true. It's possible that both oppinions are in fact correct. It's also possible that Romney really didn't leave Bain Capital until 2002 and therefore WAS complicit in sending jobs overseas. It is also possible that Obama was born in Kenya. I'll leave all these possibilities to the experts.

[SkepticalYid]

Even the Supreme Court doesn't accept the argument that Obama is Kenyan. Romney, however, had he remained in control of Bain at that time, might well have committed a felony.

[in my opinion]

if they are taking food stamps and WIC and other federal programs, I have a feeling they may have to sell to anyone who wants to shop there. Let them lose their food stamp accreditation and you'll see how fast they will find a hetter to service people even in bikinis. Money talks. Sounds to me like a civil rights violation. Would you tolerate a muslim run bodega that takes foods stamps but wont sell your dehydrated pregnant wife a bottle of water on a hot summer day? Stupid fools. Want civil rights, demand civil rights and accommodations and equal opportunity, but show themselves to not really understand what freedom in the United States really means.

Hey, it's not their fault. The rebbe wanted them to remain stupid so they wouldnt have options. Fill the rebbes coffers so is kids can fight over the 350 milion dollar estate. And obviously there was alot more, because he wasnt living on food stamps (or was he?)

[in my opinion]

lose their food stamp and WIC accreditation and the supermarket goes bankrupt.

[ali]

But this is OK, right?

[haredi are selfish]

the city should come and close their store .

the haredi dress code is not in the city zoning laws .

[Tank]

lose their food stamp and WIC accreditation and the supermarket goes bankrupt.
