Will Hill- I respectfully disagree with giving tochacha about tznius to these women. Devorah K. writes “Their clothing is designed to make an impression and they sit in the most provocative of ways. Their conversations range from the mundane to the profane.” We don’t know that their clothing is not tznius, just that it’s out to make an impression. I do agree that they can be told in a nice way that the food isn’t kosher, like “excuse me, but is the food here kosher? I don’t see any certicate, I was told it wasn’t, etc.”
Only a close friend can tell you about tznius things, not a total stranger. For example, I used to wear slits in my skirts, below the knee, until a very close friend of mine taught me that it is very attention grabbing (peek a boo effect) to wear them. my friend even bought me a sefer about tznius (an expensive one at that). That was the only way I could accept this mussar, when it was given from a friend and with total love and caring.
as I posted above, I think that these ladies don’t know that it is not kosher. Why would they go there and not the many other restaurants all over Rockland that are kosher?
