I would not object to a woman in a sleeveless stop with straps...
thinking camisole..... but when I googled it to make sure of the
spelling I was surprised to see it defined as underwear.

I was once barred from a place for inappropriate attire. I had been
playing baseball with friends and we were meeting in a bar after the
game. The bar had a reputation for being a bit of a dive. I looked
upstairs in the recently renovated part and was headed off by a bouncer
who suggested I try the bar downstairs. I went down and didn't see them,
so I went back up. That was when greaseball Gino stopped me and told me
"You don't understand. This is a class place." You gotta know that
someone uses the words "class place" to describe his bar it isn't.

Unfortunately, there are ever increasing numbers of people who seem to
have few manners. In a place like that you should not have to have
rules about cell phones either, but it seems that a rule is needed for
some people.
