As I said: I dress for the occasion. If I'm dressed appropriately for the occasion (I assume everyone else in attendance is too), and the restaurant denies me entry because of what I'm wearing, I'm waking out and going somewhere else.

Yes, that's how being denied entry works.

Yup. It's also how exercising choice by wallet does, too.

So if the occasion is meeting friends or colleagues at a fancy restaurant, you won't go because they don't allow cargo shorts and flip flops?

Unless my friends ask otherwise, yes. If they say 'dress nice, we're all wearing cummerbunds' no problem, I'll turn up dressed nice without a cummerbund. If they say 'dress nice, btw restaurant rules cummerbund', im out.

Edit: if it's my dinner, and the restaurant does that to one of my guests, and will not accommodate them, I'm also leaving with them and taking my entire group with me.
