I try to stay positive about all situations here, but sometimes it is just ridiculous. I need a moment. I wasn't allowed to eat again today in the cafeteria because I was dressed "immodestly." The first time they sent me back, I was wearing basketball shorts (covering my knees) and a t-shirt. I thought maybe that girl was having a bad day. She had no reason to send me back because plenty of people get in with basketball shorts. So I walked back to my room, changed, and let it go. The following Sunday, the same girl was working and sent this girl in front of me home. She was debating with another worker whether the dress that girl had on was too short. She then looked at me and said, "oooh yeah well, it's basically the same as hers..." My dress was clearly 5 inches longer than the girl's in front of me and completely covered my knees. It was apparent she had a problem with me. Luckily, there was someone else there who just said "um...no...she can go in," so I was allowed in. Then today...ugh today. I went in this morning and ate breakfast without a single problem. Not even a double take from the person working. I then proceeded to attend my classes without getting kicked out for "honor code" reasons so obviously what I was wearing was okay. Then I tried to eat lunch around 3. That girl was working again... I was all happy and said hello and after looking at me without a hello, she just said "Sorry, you are going to have to go change." I was appalled!
"REALLY?"
"Yep. You aren't allowed in wearing sweats."
"But these aren't even sweats. These are nicer than sweats. I have even worn these to work before."
"Nope. No sweats allowed. Go change."
This is what I was wearing: (Sorry about the bad quality, I was in a hurry to eat..)
Those don't qualify as sweats at all! Besides, the other night an entire team of soccer players ate dinner in soccer sweats. To make it even better, behind me was a girl with leggings as pants and a tight shirt and she was let in. And so was the guy wearing a swimsuit. She better be careful next time she finds an excuse not to let me in. When I'm hungry, I get angry...and you don't want to see me if I'm angry! Haha!...Anyways. If I wasn't dressed modestly, that would be one thing, but that clearly is not the issue here.
I would report her and say she wrongly accuses. BUT before I do that I would stand there and point out all the people (to her) that are in the cafeteria that shouldn't be there if you have to go home and change. Sounds like a power trip to me.
