A mum was recently thrown out of a fast food restaurant for breastfeeding without a cover.
Macy Hornung was asked to leave the Chick-A-Fila restaurant in North Dakota because her breastfeeding was “indecent.”
The mum tried to explain to the owner who asked her to cover up that her baby doesn’t like being covered.
However, Macy said the owner began reciting breastfeeding laws for the area.
North Dakota breastfeeding laws state that mothers have the right to breastfeed their children in any location, public or private, in a “discreet or modest manner.”
The mum wrote:
“Just a heads up, we just went to the soft open of Chick-fil-A West Acres and the owner basically kicked me out for breastfeeding without a cover.
“The owner came to our table where I was showing no more than the upper portion of my breast, barely more than what was visible in my shirt and asked me to cover.
“I tried to explain that I couldn’t, because my baby refuses to be covered and she started harping about the children and men who can see my indecency and I need to cover.
“I said they could practice the simple art of looking away and tried to cite North Dakota breastfeeding laws. She told me if I chose not to cover, then she would have to ask me to leave.”
Macy followed up her post saying that the owner of the restaurant has since apologised to her, saying:
“I would like to publicly apologize to Macy Hornung for the way I handled the situation on Saturday.
“I ask for your forgiveness on this matter as I learn from it. My goal is to provide a warm and welcoming environment for all of my guests.”
