First Time

@MarkPaul Which is just stupid. Don't like it? Don't look. I'm happy to take the money of any paying customer.

@NudistPaul It's not sanitary and you will not be served and your money will not be taken if you don't comply.

Rubbish! There is a higher bacterial count on shoes and hands than on feet. And how often do the feet contact food preparation surfaces anyway?

@irrelevant If you are walking around without shoes, then the same bacterial count will be on both shoes and bare feet. With your convoluted logic people could show up with their dicks hanging in the air, you know, because it won't come in contact with food preparation surfaces anyway. You will not welcome in any eating establishment. Full stop.

There are legal implications to having one's "dick hanging in the air." Not so with shoes. Rather a crude analogy anyway. I am a retired nurse and familiar with infection control.

@irrelevant Let me repeat the rules of polite society for you... and please note this applies to retired nurses... No shoes, no shirt, no service. Questions...?

Those "rules" are merely 20th century conventions, not "polite." Insulting barefoot people for their healthy choice is what's rude! You have made it plain that you have been brainwashed by the convention and will not consider the facts, so I have nothing more to say.

@irrelevant You are no longer welcome in any in-door establishment where humans congregate. No one wants to be exposed to your dirty feet out of some antiquated personal desire to engage in pre-civilized behaviour. And, may I say, I find your attitude negative, abhorrent, and irrelevant. You are not the centre of attention.

@MarkPaul Soles of shoes are dirtier than feet. Anybody who thought about it for half a second would realize that. Moron.

@NudistPaul If you walk around barefoot, your feet are the soles of your shoes, dummy.

@MarkPaul If you're OK being "exposed" to people's shoe soles, why aren't you OK being exposed to people's feet soles? BTW: "exposed" is an overstatement. There's no way anybody else's shoe or foot soles can affect you. Dummy.

@NudistPaul Because it is unappetizing to look at someone's dirty feet while shoes don't show "that" level of dirt or take on that level of smell. It's called showing respect for others you are sharing society with instead of only thinking of your own self-gratifying interests. You moron.

@MarkPaul It seems so many people love to tout freedom. The thing is freedom includes the freedom of other people to do what you don't like. Don't like it? Too bad. Don't look.

You may not like to look at people with purple hair, face tattoos, septum piercings, simply being obese, or lots of other things. No store denies service to such people. If you see such people, you're free not to like them, but you have to grudgingly accept them nonetheless being out in public. The fact that you might not to see such people is irrelevant. They have just as much freedom as you. If you don't want to see such people, stay home. Nobody should have to contort themselves to please your delicate sensibilities.

"Unappetizing" isn't a valid reason.

BTW: feet that are bare don't smell. It's only feet that have been sweating in shoes all day that smell.

You fascist imbecile.
