Barefoot at Walmart

Hi everybody,
I had to run to Walmart and it’s a awesome day to be barefoot. Yesterday it was cold and snowing and I still went barefoot at Sam’s club and to a fast food restaurant to get dinner. And the manager at the fast food restaurant ask me isn’t it to cold to be running around barefoot? I said no I’m always barefoot all year around and one of the other managers she came up and said that He’s always barefoot and he comes in here barefoot all the time and in all types of weather. And the first manager she said I wish I could go barefoot like you do . I told her it’s never to let to start going barefoot. She said she goes barefoot at home and drives barefoot but never goes barefoot in stores or fast food places. I ask her if she is foot shy and she said yes . I told her that if she wants to go barefoot everywhere like I do just start out going barefoot at a park or around your house. And work up to going barefoot in other places. And I told her if she has I friend that goes barefoot in public she should go barefoot with her and that will help her to start getting over her foot shyness. She said she is going to go barefoot more often and I told her that she will see me in her store barefoot. Today at Walmart I had people look at me and then look at my bare feet. I had one guy ask me where are my shoes and all I said was I never wear socks or shoes. He was amazed and he asked me if he could talk to me about going barefoot. I said ok so as he was shopping he was asking me questions why I’m barefoot and why I don’t wear shoes. And I told why I don’t wear socks or shoes and I told him that my feet are so happy and that my back pain is gone . He was like how I told him that we are not made to wear shoes that’s why a lot of people have foot problems and why people get hammer toes and that going barefoot is better and healthier for you . Yes some people will say it’s not healthy and it’s gross to walk around barefoot. But wearing socks and shoes are not good for you. Your feet sweat in your socks and shoes and that how your feet start to smell and if you get shoes of a certain type or style you develop hammer toes and bunions and other foot problems. And then he said oh here’s my wife and she looked at me and she said wow you’re barefoot and I said yes I am . And she said isn’t there a law that you can’t be barefoot in a store I said no there’s no law like that and theirs no health code that tells people that you have to wear shoes in a store or in public places. And she said that she loves being barefoot and she told me that one time she went to the same Walmart that we are at the greeter told her she needs to wear shoes or flip flops and she can’t be in the store barefoot. And even since then she wear shoes and she hates wearing shoes and I told her I’m the same way. As we were talking the store manager came up and said hey barefoot rick how are you doing today. And I told him I’m going and he said it’s a great day to be barefoot right I said yes it is. And I asked him to tell his lady that she can shop barefoot at this store. And he told her that it’s ok to shop here barefoot and nobody should tell you that you need shoes. And she said so I can take off my sandals and shop barefoot right now and he said yes . The next thing I saw she took off her sandals and said that she was told that she needed to have shoes on to shop here . And he ask her who told her that and she said a greeter he was a older guy . And he said I know who it was and he told us that he was fired because he was even telling a lady that had her kids with her and the kids were barefoot and that the kids needed to wear shoes on or they would have to leave . And he was very rude and blocking her from shopping. So they fired him so now people can come in barefoot and shop . I told the manager thanks for taking to them and he went on his way back to work. And I told them I had to go and I hope to see them shopping barefoot this spring and summer and they said you have a great day and I told them the same . And I came home I hope this spring and summer that more people will go barefoot in public and at stores. Will everybody keep barefooting.
