I Was Asked to Leave a Restaurant Due to My Age and Outfit – Here’s How I Responded Days Later

   
 

At 72, Everly was told she was “too old” and her attire “inappropriate” for a fashionable restaurant. Her comeback? A Facebook post that went viral, igniting a public outcry for change.

My name is Everly, and even at 72, my zest for new experiences hasn’t waned. It was a sunny Thursday morning when my daughter, Nancy, unexpectedly visited my small garden shop. Her arrival was a surprise, and her proposal even more so. “Mom, let’s check out that new restaurant downtown,” she suggested, her eyes alight with excitement.

Our outfits were modest; I was in my favorite floral blouse and khaki trousers, and Nancy wore jeans and a T-shirt. For us, it wasn’t about how we dressed but about enjoying each other’s company.

We talked about the restaurant as we drove, looking forward to creating a new memory together. However, we were unaware that this simple outing was about to take an unforeseen turn.

 

Upon entering the restaurant, we were met with modern music and lively chatter. The place was filled with a young, fashion-forward crowd, making our casual clothes stand out. But that didn’t bother us; we were there for the food and the experience.

Just as we were getting seated by the window, a young waiter approached us. Initially courteous, his demeanor shifted upon noticing our attire. “I’m sorry,” he began, his tone now less friendly, “but this place might not be suitable for you.”

“You seem to be too old for our usual clientele,” he added, “and your attire really isn’t appropriate for the ambiance we strive for here.” Nancy’s cheeks flushed with indignation while a sharp sting of rejection hit me—not for who I was, but for my appearance and my age.
