Is it wrong to shop barefoot?

Personally I would rather see someone shopping in bare feet than males shopping stripped to the waist, wearing a vest, or persons wearing their work clothes i.e nurses, care workers or construction workers etc.

[ummmm]

You think workers should go home and change before going to the supermarket?

I can't see a problem with people going barefoot.

In Australia I believe it's common to walk about bare foot.

Twice I've parked up in Tesco car park and realised I hadn't put any shoes on. I went back home and got some though, god knows what's on the floor in there.

i go shopping barefoot - not so much in this country though

Bare foot doesn't bother me a great deal, what I don't like seeing is Nurses, Careworkers and Catering workers in uniform going around the shops, bare chested men should be banned from shops and pubs imo, and wifebeater vests are a no-no as well.

[ummmm]

I bet most people wash their feet more often than they wash the soles of their shoes.

[ummmm]

Why would anyone mind seeing people in uniform?

In London I saw a girl at a bus stop still wearing her pyjamas. Apparently you can do that now. I wonder if they were the pjs she slept in or if she has special 'going out' pjs?

As for walking around barefoot, I'm a wimp. It took me ages to walk across my patio barefoot the other day, the smallest bit of gravel is painful.

The shop assistants are in uniform For Funks Sake

My Dad always told me that chefs weren't supposed to wear their whites outside of the kitchen. He made me believe that was like some sort of law although it was probably just his own rules.

It's what could contaminate the uniform that is the problem.

I can just about comprehend why someone might object to a nurse going shopping on their way to work but what is the problem with them nipping into Waitrose on their way home? Assuming they are not smothered in blood, gore and other bodily functions?

[ummmm]

Surely they would have more than one?

[AliceTickband]

it is probably advisable if you are shopping for shoes.

[ummmm]

If they get covered in any bodily fluids they change into scrubs.

I went shopping barefoot on Sunday after I broke one of my flip flops whiile in Tesco's.

[ummmm]

Thinking about it, I'm not even bothered my men stripped to the waist. Or people in PJ's.

[EcclesCake]

Umm, I was being facetious, or should that be faecetious......

community rehab and nursing staff go from house to house and may also take clients shopping. They wear their uniforms so i don't see what the difference between that and shopping for themselves is. They are probably cleaner and less bug ridden than someone who has been doing gardening or DIY and pops out in their work clothes. I wouldn't do the barefoot thing because floors, carparks etc are filthy.

I can see no logical reason for not shopping barefoot..........although aesthetically it displeases me.

What displeases me more and the locals (I live in the Balearics) is the Brits on holiday, the females shopping in a bathing costume and the men shopping with no shirt on.
Disrespectful and the locals are disgusted, so much so now that notices are being put up in the shops asking costumers to show respect in their dress.

I think bare chested men should be banned from food stores,dept stores and buses - have you ever sat next to a man on the bus who is bare chested and stinks of B.O ? they should be stopped at the entrance by security and asked to dress more appropriately, a vest is acceptable for me, work clothes dont bother me either.
