First place you got kicked out of?

I recently got kicked out of a couple places for not wearing shoes, the first being the greyhound station in oakland and the second being the denny's where I live. Strangely enough I don't get fucked with at all in the grocery store or even walmart

Also, my boyfriend is a massage therapist and told me last night that my feet have no trigger points unlike those of people who do wear shoes. Guess I'm doing something right

 

The first place I was kicked out was a local Target. I've been back to that same store several times since without any issues. I guess it just goes to show that the "No Bare Feet" policy has more to do with the attitude of the offended individual than any actual store policy. I've only had issues a handful of times.

 

a disco club. my shod friends were kicked as well (???)

 

This year it was a mall. Last year I can't remember getting kicked out of anyplace.

 

Never happened!

England, the land of the free!

 

Not quite that free - I know Tesco's are very anti-barefooter.

Story here

Not experienced any problems anywhere else, though - not tried tesco as I don't have one near me.

 

Tesco in Brighton were ok with my bare feet last week. Went to pubs, not so posh restaurants etc. Neither did Ryan Air mention a thing... Great week in all.

 

Never happened here in The Netherlands.

 

Never Happened Here In Horsetralia.....



Cheers Glen.

 

Never happend in New Zealand.

Have had a couple of issues with no shirt, but bare feet never an issue

 

Lets see, for not wearing shoes it was a Go-Fer gas station. But my first time getting kicked out of a place was Target.

 

Germany: I still have to get kicked out of any place for being barefoot... or rather: I don't have to, really, but I never experienced that.

Funny, isn't it? Those people on the Mayflower left Europe for North America since they were oppressed - and now, the US seemingly are the nation of foot-phobia and anti-barefootedness vs. Europe, one of the continents of barefoot freedom... I wonder how long it'll take before barefoot pilgrims' ships set sails to leave the US for Europe, Oz and New Zealand.

Wiggling happy and free toes in central Europe,

Ugghhh! I was waiting at a traffic light yesterday when I guy without a shirt crossed in front of my car. He was older and looked a bit messed-up. He was either staggering or had a limp. The pasty whiteness of his untoned torso was pretty bad. I'd readily take bare feet over that display anytime.

 

oh, wait. weeks ago i was invited to get inside a workshop to choose my stuff and after a minute i was asked to leave under the pretext of liability because i was barefoot in a working place and they didn't realize at first. also i didn't get kicked more than once from disco clubs because i don't hang out a lot in that kind of places so i switched to alternative outdoor parties where bare feet are common and accepted.

 

The womb

 

Was there a "No Shoes No Service" sign in there? Or did someone tell you "Hey! You can't be in here without shoes???"

Wiggling toes,

I have to agree with that. As a full-time barefooter in the UK I have yet to be kicked out of anywhere for not wearing shoes. It's rare that I get comments even. The US has so much thats cool about it, yet the 'foot-phobia' thing really blows my mind

 

I've never been kicked out of anywhere.
I sometimes go in the Barton on Humber Tesco, and no one ever says anything, or even seems to notice.

 

An unfortunate 'first' for me recently as, after twenty odd years of 'unmolested' barefooting in the UK, I was asked to leave 'The Walkabout' pub in Wimbledon.

For those unfamiliar with it, 'The Walkabout' is a pub chain which supposedly models itself on Australian pubs. I was therefore rather taken aback to be approached by an Australian barmaid to be told: "You can't be in a pub with no shoes on !"

I politely asked "Why ?" and was told "Well ...... er ..... You might cut yourself !"

I raised and flicked the edge of the plastic glass that I had just been served my pint of beer in and said "That's really not very likely is it ?"

She went away and talked to some guy behind the bar before coming back and saying "I'm sorry, it's policy. You can finish your drink but if you can't or won't put shoes on you'll have to leave."

I rather suspect that this 'policy' was one that they had rapidly decided to invent.

At least they didn't try and claim that it was 'the law' or 'health and safety regulations' both of which are, of course, complete rubbish and I would have been unable to resist telling them so.

Still, I recognise the prerogative of any establishment to set its own 'policy' so I exercised my prerogative to take my money elsewhere.

So I and the four friends I was with walked all of fifty yards down the road to the next pub where we enjoyed several drinks and a meal and spent a good amount of money in doing so.

Who lost out here ?????

 

Wal-Mart, as I mentioned in another thread
