Beloved Curmudgeon
I think anyone in an outfit like that has too much skin exposed for a restaurant. Just hygienic. But I bet the mean-spirited complaining customer just thought she was a fat slob.
Anyway, who drives an HOUR to go to Colden Corral?! Maybe the birthday boy requested it.

She got an apology, a gift card, lots of internet attention, so should move on.Emke, who lives in Dunkirk, New York, said that on May 26 she drove an hour to the restaurant in Erie, which features an all-you-can-eat buffet, with her husband, Andrew, and their young son, Aiden, to celebrate the boy's birthday with friends.
When she went to get food, Emke, who was wearing a new crop top and denim shorts, said that she was approached by a manager who told her she was dressed "too provocatively" and that a customer had complained about her appearance.
The manager said she either needed to change or leave, according to Emke.
"I explained that we drove an hour there," she wrote on Facebook. "I didn't just have clothes I could change into but he didn't care."

After the incident, Emke said she consulted a lawyer to explore her legal options [hoping for a payday] and he advised her to share her experience on social media.

Emke received a letter and gift cards from a Golden Corral franchise business consultant on Thursday.
