A North Carolina soul food restaurant is receiving backlash for enforcing a dress code that some people on social media are calling backwards.
Kim's Kafe in Greensboro posted its rules regarding clothing on its Facebook page on Sunday, saying that they had been in place throughout the summer.
"People are not leaving anything for the imagination much now days (sic) so our dress code is strict," the restaurant wrote.
