Kicked Out of a Bar for Wearing a Kilt

[meinfs]

...Ive been a long time lurker here, but have finally registered to share a story of discrimination with you all!
[...]
Furthermore I would expect a website with a kilted man on their website to be more kilt-friendly.
...

Oy. Wow. I'm sorry to hear of that. I think you should contact the manager!!! Seriously.

Ask for a written policy -- and look for where it says "properly" kilted guys need not apply.

It's possible that they've had kilted guys misbehaving before and are being reactionary. But still.


(thoughts)

If I get asked that question, I'll say "with respect, it's none of your business" if I really want to get in. If I don't care if I get it or not, I'll give some smart-@ss comment. You can ask why he wants to know.

Sorry about it.

I would have requested to speak with the manager on duty, and would have told the bounce that it was none of his business if I was regimental or not. I wonder how the women patrons would react if the bouncer asked the style of undergarments they may or may not be wearing

Stating to the bouncer that it is none of his bussiness is a good response as you could argue it is an invasion of your privacy. If it was me I would inform the bounce that if there were problems in the past that you would not be one to initiate any problems. If he still didn't let you in then go for the attorney general. The pub is considered a private bussiness and have a right to their own rules up to a point. The pub is still public unless it requires a membership. If all else fails there are many ways to publicise how fake the place is. It would interest me what nationality owns the joint.

Isn't "pub" short for "public house"?

That MUST be reported to management!!!

Please post the location that you were denied entry. Perhaps a few e-mails from the membership will resolve any future problems.

How ridiculous! A plethora of retorts come quickly to mind were someone like a doorman to ask what I may be wearing as undergarments. Unreal.

Next time say: "I'd show ye, but I'm afraid you'd be jealous"

And on the website they have a guy dressed in a kilt dancing outside the pub!

Did they ask him the same question before they filmed?

If you need a job, there is probably going to be an opening with your name on it as a bouncer at the door of a bar.
