Re: [RunningBarefoot] Re: barefoot in everyday life
Sometimes, I have the flip flops with me so maybe you are right and that satisfies them........I think it just depends on who sees you and what their personal opinion is about bare feet. I am sure there will be more people/businesses that will say something to me.

I was in Home Despot yesterday barefoot and nobody said a word to me. I was carrying flip-flops, so maybe that satisfied them.

You go into Home Depot barefoot? I got kicked out of the Gilroy CA Home Depot a couple of weeks ago, for being barefoot. A worker called a manager, and he insisted that I put on shoes or leave. I pointed out
that they had no sign on the door requiring shoes, and that there is no state law requiring shoes. He said "yes there is, you know--no shoes, no shirt, no service!". Not the sharpest tool in the store,
obviously.
What was really ironic was that there was a major safety hazard right out in the parking lot--my electrician brother pointed to a light pole that was missing an access cover, so 205V wires were sitting there
where any kid could reach in and get zapped.
