Just because he said it was legal, doesn't mean it wasn't against either the state or town ordinances.

The thing to remember is the shop will be private property so even been legal been nude in public is legal it will be the right of the shop to ban people coming nude into it. My local shop/post office for so called hygiene reasons I have to cover my chest before coming in as well as having shorts etc on.
