The quiet little store in Bucks Harbor, Maine just went NSNSNS. Never was a problem before. A new small restaurant was added to it, and some sort of restraunter dick from nearby Blue Hill was brought in to manage it. HE apparently made the rule. I wouldn't care about the new restaruant part as much, but the store itself was always so relaxed. He started on me with a loud, "WE CAN'T HAVE ANY MORE BARE FEET IN HERE, IT'S A STATE LAW!" I felt like I was in farking high school again, facing an out of control gym coach or assistant principal. I corrected him about it being a state law, in Maine, or anywhere. So he said, "IT'S A HEALTH LAW!" I corrected him again. He didn't expect this. Too bad. He then winged it: "IT'S AN INSURANCE LAW!!" Well now that might be. Or might not. Anyway, I happen to know the owner, and even if the no bf rule sticks, I'm going to get him on acting worse than any of the local hicks. Some restraunter dick. My son and his best friend were in the store. I heard my son telling his friend, "That's why I never go bf in places anymore. Someone ALWAYS comes on to you about it." It's true. Gotta love the freest country on earth. We have MUCH more important things to worry about in America right now. Like system failure.
If you don't mind compromising your barefootedness, you need to get some shoes with slick soles (and dress yourself to match), go to that place, find a little bit of water or something, and slip and fall on it. Then, you can cry "lawsuit" to that jerk of a manager (even though the shoes obviously were slick, the water or something didn't help!), making his NSNSNS policy bite him in the ass! If he recognizes you, he'll either ban you from there (like you want to be there anyway with the NSNSNS policy) or realize his mistake in not allowing barefoot people in.
Good point. I look for ways to make my own points with these types. Like, how much are my very thin flops going to "protect" me from the dangers of falling merchandise at Home Depot, for example. I could probably get some slick soles, but I doubt whether I can ever get the dress to match, but I could do everything else.
