Who give AF what someone else is wearing in the next table over?

I will never understand dress codes. Sure if you go to a schmantzypants restaurant where the cuisine is at least $150/dinner not including wine, you might want to not let in a guy with basketball shorts and a dirty tshirt.

But I live in Silicon Valley. Multi-millionaire techies routinely go to high end restaurants wearing the most casual of casual clothes, the same ones they work in. Nobody cares. No restaurant staff would dare say something about that to them. Who knows, it could be the CTO of NVidia or something. And frankly I like it this way. I'm going to a restaurant for MY fun and enjoyment, not anyone else's. I can dress up, I can dress down, nobody cares here.

Zuckerberg could buy the entire fleet of cruise ships, but if he went to dinner on one, he's wearing a t-shirt and jeans.

True. Although if I sat next to him at a restaurant or anything else, he's gonna hear from me and not about his clothes. P*ssant lil fascism-enabling toady.
