Americans seem to be rebelling against the notion of formal dress, preferring casual attire in all things. T-shirts and running shoes are the rule now, rather than the exception.

Shorts are good.
If someone's got a shine on their shoes, I'll ask if I can scuff them up a bit. I've got a special scuffer upper. If they won't change, then I have to turn them away. ON the floor, that's right. Sometimes the chef drops something and that's a fun surprise.
