Tehran restaurant owners are now showing red cards to customers with improper hijab! - 2003-11-23. These days, the number of actions taken by the municipal officials and the police department in Tehran has exceeded the tolerance of the city's residents. However, this latest example is truly a masterpiece! According to the newspaper Shargh, recently, a number of red and yellow cards have been distributed by the police department among some restaurants in the city, which are to be presented by restaurant officials to customers who do not observe Islamic decorum. Interestingly, the rules of these cards are the same as those in football: first, a yellow card is placed on a plate in front of the customer, indicating that if the customer does not comply with the decorum shortly, they will receive a red card. A plate with a red card means there is no need for discussion, and the customer must leave the restaurant immediately. As a witty remark goes: 'Every moment, something new arrives from this garden!'
