Barefoot in the rain

Hi everybody,
I had go to Walmart today and it has been raining here in Utah hard. As I was walking in to Walmart the greeter and he said that smart that you are barefoot I said thanks he told me they had some people slip and fall because of flip/flops. I said wow and he said that he has seen me a few times barefoot when he was working. He told me that he told the people that to be careful they might slip but they just looked at him and smiled he told them I would take off the flip/flops and walk barefoot in Walmart. They said it’s ok we won’t fall and then they did. I even had people look at my bare feet and said maybe we should take off our flip/flops off so we don’t fall I told the two ladies that’s a good idea and I said they already had some people slip and fall so the two ladies took them off and the greeter that I was talking to said that’s a good idea . The two ladies asked him if later will they would be told to put on shoes he said no this guy comes in barefoot all the time and they said that they have seen me like twice shop at Walmart barefoot. And he said that when it rains it gets slick and some people fall hard . And the two ladies said that they thought it was against Walmart policy or health department and the greeter said no theirs no policy that nobody can go barefoot in Walmart. So I told the greeter I have to get going and he said ok barefoot rick talk to you later I said ok and the two ladies asked if they could walk with me I said ok cool and they said that it would be easier to walk around Walmart be with another barefoot person . And one of them said so do I know the people that work for Walmart I said yes and they both said I like your nickname barefoot Rick I said thank I have had that nickname for over 30 years because I go barefoot all year around they ask even in the winter I said yes . I even remove snow with my snowblower and in bare feet I told them I cut my lawn and string trim in bare feet and I go camping, fishing, , hiking and hunting barefoot. They were amazed they ask me if I was married or had a girlfriend I told them no most ladies don’t like a guy that goes barefoot more then they do I have had a few ladies tell me that . They said that should not matter but it does. So I got what I needed and I told the ladies it was nice talking and walking with them come to find out they were mother and daughter I was surprised. And as I was leaving the greeter said it’s raining again I said thanks for the heads up and we said goodbye to each other . It was a good rainy day to be barefoot . Will everybody keep going barefoot
