Really? Old Hickory's post specifically referenced "dinner" - I too find it disrespectful to be in a fine dining establishment with flip flops and ball caps in view. Mickey D's maybe, but not at "dinner."
I would also find it disrespectful if someone were to wear flip flops and a ballcap to - a funeral? in a hospital? at a job interview?
Although I cannot say that I find what people wear disrespectful to ME, I certainly can say that it is possible for it to be disrespectful to a situation, and I believe that is what Old Hickory meant, too -
