    recently I attended a small wedding of some dear friends. The reception was held in a banquet room of a restaurant. The manager approached a few guest including myself and requested we not be barefoot. I have been to several other receptions and there always seems to be at least a few guest that loose the heels. I wasn’t even walking when he approached me , I was sitting at a table. I wasn’t sure how to handle it or what to say. I felt embarrassed and scolded.
    Sorry for the rant.
    Happy holidays everyone

    yeah that's a weird one. women always take off their shoes at formal events that have dancing. which would consist of school dances and weddings, basically.

    Insurance... if someone breaks a glass and you stand on it.. are you going to say.. don't worry my foots cut to ribbons, or.. you didnt clean it up quick enough, are you insured?
    One might say the latter, but that one could ruin a company..

    True women take their shoes off to dance.. usually a group of them.. but your doing it around the place, not just on the dance floor, your more at risk..

    no bare-feet where food is being served...it is a health code no no


    and it is gross....mostly those classy drunk single wome that flock to weddings that do this....with exceptions I am sure...but still....just jeep your shoes on or wear shoes you can handle on the dance floor

    That's beyond frustrating!
    I got married in June and my wife had no shoes on for the entire wedding day. As is the norm, many of the guests ditched the shoes at the reception.

    Yeah, that's a health law in restaurants.

    Are you sure the code isn't meant for the food handlers and not the guests?

    Yes.

    Have you seen the stickers on the doors, right by the door handles, they say "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service"?

    Yes - and if they say "by order of the health dept" they are often bogus. A restaurant does have the right to insist on footwear because it is private property but usually they are citing a non-existent code or misinterpreting one written for the employees.
