A Sikh man enters a pub. The owner says, “Take off your hat”. “It’s a turban,” the patron replies. “No headwear, mate,” says the proprietor, tapping his little sign. That’s kind of what happened on Sunday at a Brisbane hotel.
The Royal English Hotel is apologising for the rather un-PC application of its “no headwear” rule over the weekend. The hotel’s staff were adamant that this should apply to turbans too. When the turban-wearing man in question refused to remove his head gear, he was not allowed entry into the establishment.
“Hotel staff are being educated again on correct application of the policy,” said hotel spokesperson Justin O’Connor. Dress codes can’t breach the anti-discrimination act.
The owners are trying to locate the Sikh man to apologise to him for the embarrassing oversight.
