Burger King Kicks Out Baby for Not Wearing Shoes

"No shoes, no shirt, no service!" - Sunset Hills Burger King at 10734 Sunset Hills Plaza in Missouri strictly adheres to this policy with no regards to age or common sense.

A poor six-month-old baby was kicked out of a Missouri Burger King restaurant because she was not wearing shoes :( A woman named Jennifer Frederich went to Burger King with her barefoot baby, her mother, and several other people from a church youth group. The restaurant manager approached Frederich and told her that the baby needed to have shoes placed on her due to health concerns. If Frederich did not put shoes on her baby, her only other options were to either leave or order her meal "to go." Frederich saw no need for her baby to even wear shoes because she can't walk and her feet don't even touch the ground; however, she did place socks on her baby's feet in an effort to comply as best she could at the moment with the restaurant manager's demands. The manager still threatened to call authorities, so the group ate hurriedly and left, but Frederich's story quickly spread and many agreed on the ridiculousness of the situation. Burger King has since issued a statement saying they were "retraining" its franchisees on the "no shoes, no service" policy.
