SUNSET HILLS, MO (KTVI - FOX2now.com) -
There was an apology Wednesday for a mom and baby told to leave a restaurant because the baby was not wearing shoes. A spokeswoman said workers at the Sunset Hills Burger King took the "no shoes, no shirt, no service" policy too far. The restaurant's owner asked the pair to come back for the "royal treatment", including free food.
Burger King was even taking it a step further.
Customer Jennifer Frederich said workers told her she, her "shoeless" 6 month old daughter, Kaylin, and Kaylin's grandmother, would have to leave the restaurant Sunday because Kaylin wasn't wearing shoes.
Frederich said the manager told her it was a health code violation, so they ate hurriedly and left.
Burger King spokeswoman, Denise Wilson, admitted health codes do not include a "no shoes, no shirt, no service" provision; it's simply store policy.
She issued a statement saying, "Our franchisee apologizes for this guest's experience. The franchisee is retraining his restaurant team on the proper use of the "no shoes" policy...The franchisee is also contacting the guest to apologize".
Frederich told FOX 2 she didn't think all this was necessary; she hoped no one would lose their job over it; still, she appreciated Burger King's response.
