Re: [RunningBarefoot] Re: barefoot in everyday life
I go in my post office, Lowe's, Home Depot, lots of service stations and small stores. I wear flipflops to church and take them off a lot of the time while there. Walmart I usually wear flip flops in and take them off while there. Only the one time have I had a complaint at a small store at a local service station. We do have a dress code at work but I keep something their that I can put on my feet when someone comes in who thinks they are important, my supervisor doesn't care.
