Well, depending on what you look like without one,
you could well be doing folks a favor if you left
off the shirt. Requiring shirts is just prudery.

Oh, goodness, they would in the summer. The beachgoers
walk around the streets almost naked. They most
certainly would go into the stores that way if it weren't
for the posted rules.
But of course it's not fear; that's my point. Following
the TMO's rules, in most cases, isn't done out of fear of
what the TMO will do to you, it's simple pragmatism. If
the TMO has something you want, either you play by its
rules, or you don't get to have it.
