Walking Barefoot in the Grocery Store

HA!

I’m sorry, but I like these guys. That’s hilarious. Gotta give it to them… they are tenacious.

This is a hard one, because, on one hand, I love being Barefoot. But on the other hand, that was quite the annoying move on their part. You should have made him wait in the bottle room, if I so much as stepped in the bottle room with bare feet, I would wear shoes for life.

oh my goodness, from where I’m sitting, this is so funny! May not have been at the time, but sound just like a scene from a movie.

When my brother and I were young kids, we’d go barefoot all summer. Even to the grocery store. Once my brother noticed that the bottoms of his feet were really dirty after walking around in the store for a while. He told my mom that the store must have invisible dirt on the floor. You can’t see it, but it shows up on your feet. I still have to laugh about that.

Barefootedness is best at the beach. Dirty feet are a turnoff.

Paul, your stories are so funny hahahaha I especially like the guy who tried to shoplift a sandwich but still paid for his beer. I figure he probably would’ve taken both if his “pack pack” was just big enough hahaha. Out of control!!!

hahaha this sounds like something my kids would do!

wanna bet they were stoners?

lmao!!!! Oh man, now that’s entertainment. I’m sure not for you. But for me.

LOL…that is funny, I personally think you should have made sandal guy get inside the cart and have barefoot guy pushing him from behind with the riding cart, just for humors sake. Be glad they didn’t each put a sandal on and attempt to hop through the store.
Cheers,

What’s the big deal about being barefoot in a store? No one eats food off of the floor, and I don’t handle food on the shelves with my feet, so it’s purely an aesthetic thing — people don’t like seeing others in bare feet.

The liability thing is only an issue if the store is negligent (leaving broken glass on the floor, etc.).

GO BAREFOOT!!!

Personally, I never understood why people make such a big deal if someone doesn’t have shoes on. You can have on basically a newspaper under your foot held on by a rubberband and that’s fine. I’ve seen people yell at women because they are standing and have one of their feet out of their shoe. Why???

It’s funny everyone tries to say “insurance reasons”. I own a business, and have owned others before. Not one policy i ever had said anything about shoes being worn to get a policy or to receive discounts!

Why was the fact that someone was barefoot any of your concern. Sorry, but you come across as a busy body. If you had left them alone, they would have most likely shopped and left without incident. Instead, you acted all indignant and so, the man responded in kind.
There are no laws about barefoot customers in public places. If you don’t believe me, check, they not on the books.. If that was his only offense, then what concern is it of yours. So, he had dirty feet. Don’t people sometimes come into your store with dirty hands, especially if they just been working outside. Besides its not “your” store anyway. Its a public store. You should have just ignored them.

What I’ve never had adequately explained to me is why it’s utterly unacceptable to have bare feet in a store (or whatever) because they’re DIRTY, but those same establishments are just fine with the same dirt being on the bottoms of shoes. What am I supposed to do, hover?

Scott above me is absolutely right. It is not illegal. And insurance has nothing to do with it, either. People are just squirmy about bare feet for some reason.
