Please Settle A Bet!

I agree with you, txbarefooter. All his messages just don't sound quite right to be legit, but like I said before, I guess there's no harm done because some of us were able to get some facts posted that perhaps some reading this may not have known before. He sure talks a lot about cross-dressing, and that's probably his hidden agenda. He really wants to do that in front of a lot of folks obviously, and this "bet" is a good excuse to actually do it. He knew he was going to "lose" all along.

Btw, it's obvious that him and "Brandon" are the same person.

 

I'd like to thank the member who conatacted the Virginia dept. of healt. I have often hear the no shirt, no shoes rule related to as a phantom law

Basically it's at the store or restaurants decision to enforce it how they see fit. I can also tell you I have been to a Wendy's before and observed a female patron dining at a table in her barefeet Obviously, management chose not to enforse the policy that day.

On another occasion, I saw a woman slip out of her shoes on the dance floor of an Irish pub, only to be told by a bouncer to put them back on due to safety concearns regarding broken glass on the floor. Of course the bouncer missed the two other women who were dancing an Irish jig barefoot

Yours truly was refused service at a Store 24 years ago because the clerk behind the register saw me enter the premises barefoot. However, the jerk err clerk dit point to the sign on the door before kindly sending me on my way I have since been barefoot in several other Store 24's and haven't been refused service once.

 

Please forgive me for my various typos in my last post. I swear I passed freshman English in college Unfortunately, I didn't pass too many other classes after that

I forgot to mention in my previous post that I've been known to venture into the bank barefoot. A few of the patrons noticed I was barefoot, but none of the bank employees, as they were busy behind their desk.

Although they don't have signs posted, the public transportation authority here on the east coast has been known to enforce the no shirt/no shoes policy :& Fortunately, that didn't happen to me at all last summer. And for the record, I was wearing a shirt

 

I have never heard or read posted anywhere, on this board or others, of anybody ever having anything said to them for being barefoot in a bank. I myself have been in several banks barefoot many times, and it's hard to imagine why a bank could possibly care. I'm sure there're probably exceptions somewhere - there are always exceptions.

 

I've been in some banks barefoot, and it's true the employees are probably too busy at their desks to give a hoot.

 

What's so bad about going barefoot, anyway, Jay?? Try it -- you might really end up liking it!

You know, something you never clarified to my satisfaction is just why you think it's such an objective problem for people to be barefoot in public. I mean, what's the big deal? You act like law or not, something's wrong with it. In an objective way, what is wrong with it? I really believe there is no objective, practical thing wrong with it. It harms no one. The "rules" that prohibit it are really just expressions of the pathetic hangups of those who post them.

This is a little off topic from the original intent of this post, but since the issue of being barefoot in a bank has been brought up, I will share my experience. I do most of my banking in a 5th/3rd Bankmart inside a local Kroger. I have never had any negative comments directed toward my feet by any of the bank employees there, though the Kroger manager did once tell me that I couldn;t be in the store without shoes.

On occasion, I do go to more traditional 5th/3rd branches. Only once have I had any problem. A single teller said, "you can't be in here without shoes." Everyone else there has always been either oblivious to or ignorant of my barefeet.

I don't let either of the above invidences keep me from banking (or doing most things) barefoot.

while there is no violation of health codes, if i were to own a store and i had a sign that read proper attire required, and you entered without, i would have the right to refuse services to you,"not that i would" but it would be my right. after all it would be my store and my preferance
