In reply to the discussion: Police escort cancer patient from Nashville steakhouse after he’s forced to remove hat [View all]Nonhlanhla
(2,074 posts)39. I was wondering the same thing
I don't quite understand why he was not allowed to wear his hat in the first place (cancer or no cancer). Is there some health hazard involved in wearing hats in restaurants? Etiquette issues? Dress code?
