It's for the people who follow the rules.I wonder why they even have a dress code. What’s the point when it’s not enforced.

I work with a guy who takes his family out to a certain pizza joint about once every 2 weeks. He comes to work the next day and complains about the food and the service every time and states how he had his meal comped every time. Dude, if you don't like the place, stop going.
I have had bad service and I have had really bad food. I have never complained about any of it. I complain with my wallet. I do however talk to the manager or others to compliment issues. Recently tried a new restaurant. It was packed. I thought it was a local owned. Turned out to be just a fancy looking chain. Food was clearly just frozen food heated up. Terrible. I walked out after talking to the manager telling him how extraordinary the young waiter was and left a $20 tip for a $45 meal. I highly doubt they would completely change their business model of teenage cooks heating frozen food items if I complained about the actual food. I'll just never eat there again.
I hear ya, but when you go to the trouble of following the dress code, then sit around a bunch of people in shorts and so forth, it takes away from the whole atmosphere.It's for the people who follow the rules.
But see you would be wrong in your assumption and should not be admitted with out the required dress code.I would never even think to see what a dress code would be at a glorified amusement park vacation spot. I would assume park attire would be the dress code as we are vacationing at a park.
Yes, maintaining the atmosphere is significant to achieve the full effect. Fine dining isn't only the gourmet food, the social interaction of sharing this elevated experience is equally important.I hear ya, but when you go to the trouble of following the dress code, then sit around a bunch of people in shorts and so forth, it takes away from the whole atmosphere.
I feel the same way but I will complain about the food if it’s bad. But we don’t go back if we’ve had more then one bad experience. There are toooo many places to go to go back
Yes, this is what I meant about not complaining. The food was just garbage quality food, not poorly prepared. I paid, as I was leaving the manager stopped and I commended our waiter stating he was outstanding, and left a very large tip for the waiter. Though I probably would not have if I was covering the bill. The bill was covered and I covered the tip. Bill was only $45, but if I was covering that, the tip probably would have been a good tip, just not as good.If we think the food is not for us, or just not good quality, we pay and leave and never go back. If it was poorly prepared, like burnt or something like that, then we will say something. We also don't complain just to get free food. We don't even expect anything free if they make a mistake. As long as they fix it, we are happy.
I get the dress code at the signatures. It is a fine enough experience that warrants taking time out of your park day to clean up and get fancy nancy
I have read complaints on other boards about people's attire and not dressing properly at non-signature TS restaurants. I can't agree with that because WDW itself found good reason to allow T-shirts and shorts at these places, otherwise they'd put a dress code here as well. There has to be a compromise between hot park days and flexibility to drop into a table service meal.
Until businesses push back against customers, it will continue to get worse.
I feel like it all started over 10 years ago when the recession hit and businesses were doing everything they could to keep customers. The economy is doing great, so I hear, so I don't understand what scares businesses from demanding that dress codes be adhered to in nicer places or pushing back hard on unreasonable requests.
I had a family with a baby go to our dollar shop area (You know, little bins of cheap items) plop their baby on the shelf and proceed to change a poopy diaper. We. Have. BATHROOMS. Not even far away bathrooms. This was at the front of the store. They left the diaper on the shelf for us to clean up afterwards.
It's more like Guidelines.I would never even think to see what a dress code would be at a glorified amusement park vacation spot. I would assume park attire would be the dress code as we are vacationing at a park.
If you're looking for gourmet food and an elevated experience, why are you eating at Disney?Yes, maintaining the atmosphere is significant to achieve the full effect. Fine dining isn't only the gourmet food, the social interaction of sharing this elevated experience is equally important.
Take what you can get, lol. I dunno really, I've tried very few of them but had great experiences.If you're looking for gourmet food and an elevated experience, why are you eating at Disney?
I think I came across the answer at the library today:
