‘No bare feet’ signs are similar to the racist signs of the past

Discriminatory signs against barefooters are similar to the discriminatory signs of the past based on race.

Never ask in advance if it’s ‘OK’ to be barefoot

Just walk in barefoot; never ask for "permission."

Contacting a store or other business and asking in advance if they have a policy requiring shoes for customers is almost always a bad idea.                    Continue reading “Never ask in advance if it’s ‘OK’ to be barefoot”
