In spite of persistent myths, there are NO laws requiring shoes in stores or restaurants, insurance companies do not require or even recommend shoes for customers, and there are no laws requiring shoes when driving.
It's NOT unhealthy, our skin is made to keep pathogens out. We're at far greater risk of picking something up through our hands than through the skin of our feet, because with our hands we touch our faces and food. Glass isn't a major risk; I've been barefoot everywhere for ten years, I never divert my step and I get a tiny splinter maybe once a year, never had a cut. Outside the US most people believe barefooting is very healthy (including Europe %26amp; the rest of the western world, not talking about totally different Eastern or African culture).
These restrictions are *store* dress code *only*, in spite of what some managers may believe. Breaking them may not be totally polite but you should know you are NOT breaking any laws or health regulations when you do. And if *they* are dishonest or careless enough to display a lie on their front door and falsely claim a health law exists, that's not very nice either. These signs perpetuate this stupid myth while really barefooting isn't so dangerous and certainly no more so than high heels or other types of footwear that are normally accepted. And please people, look up the info in the source and don't spread this myth! Anyone's preference is their own but please do not claim barefooting is against the law, that is simply not true.Is using body paint to create the illusion of shoes on bare feet to get service at a beach restaurant wrong?
I agree with answer # 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!! And , YES, IT IS WRONG !!! These laws are not written to inconvenience you, they are written %26amp; enforced to pPROTECT YOU AND OTHERS!!! Restaurants often have broken glass and china that may not get completely cleaned up and the law is there to keep you from getting injured and to keep you from bleeding all over the place and possibly endangering others (you could have any number of blood-borne diseases). The same for clothing, you have body hair and other bodily fluids that need to be kept from ending up on the furniture and tables!!!
It might be easier to just wear shoes and a shirt
it's no wronger than getting a glass with a picture of a cool one inserted into it and mist sprayed on the outside, and ';demo model'; nacho chips cut from the bag illustration on a plate, at said restaurant.
ahh, refreshment! enjoy your stay.
if you have enough time and money to invest in painting your body....you should just buy the actual shirt and shoes....
much easier to take a bag with a pair of shoes and a t-shirt in it. The effort of doing all the body painting far outways the benifits!
I think it's genius!
Yes it is wrong. The 'no shoe' is for hygiene and looks but it is also for your safety. What if you step on something? What if you get injured then get and infection?
Plus, isn't it cheaper just to get a pair of shoes and shirt? Not to mention all the time it would take to apply the paint. And how many people would it take to paint in on versus how many people it would take to dress you normally?
Uh yeah!!! Its probably so much easier to just put a freakin shirt on than to have one painted on. Same goes for shoes.
Besides it isn't a rule ';just because';, it is a rule because of health and insurance concerns. What if you did that then stepped on broken glass in the restaurant? That would be your fault.
I suppose if you can paint yourself well enough to fool people into thinking you are wearing shoes and a shirt, it's OK.
There are no health code's restricting customers from entering business establishments without shoes. You can go to the below website and download a copy of a letter regarding this from your state. Present it to the clerk when he/she lies to you and says you can't be in there for code reasons. I go barefoot everywhere and rarely have people not served me. On the rare occasion someone does say something, they are supprised to find out its not a law and then have no more problems.
First of all, I can't understand why a beach restaurant would have an N3 sign on it. Most people at the beach have no shirt or shoes on. I don't patronize places that wont accept me as I am.
