  I have never seen a sign for this.

    Illegal I haven’t seen. No Shirts, No Shoes, No Service I have seen all over though. Often times near beaches. Many gas stations and restaurants have them as well. Though I don’t see them as often

      It probably makes sense for places that sell anything in glass containers (especially alcohol), because all it takes is one dumbass dropping something on the floor and someone else walking through it barefoot to have a liability lawsuit on your hands. Whereas if you put up a sign forbidding that and someone manages to sneak in anyways, you can say it was their fault for violating store policy in the first place.

        One drunken night 15 years ago I remember walking barefoot into a gas station to get cigarettes and the guy behind me told me my foot was bleeding. I found out I stepped on a broken piece of glass and left a blood footprint trail for about a quarter mile. It was on the ball of my foot, so it was the ball and first three toes in blood all the way down the sidewalk back towards the house party I had walked from.

        My friend told me he walked that way the next day he was really impressed at how straight of a line it was in if I was drunk enough to not notice and bleed enough to feel it. Not sure I was supposed to take pride in that.

      But no pants is fine?

        No shirt, No shoes, No Rump Shaker Coverings, No Service. I assume it just sounded better. Skirts, dresses, kilts, pants, shorts.

        Quick search found this: “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service” was a response by businesses in the 1960s and 1970s to keep long-haired hippies out of stores and restaurants. There are no federal or state laws to this effect. However, there are laws that allow businesses to make their own regulations. This phrase has become an accepted norm

    Really? Apart from “you must be born on or before this date to buy alcohol”, “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service” is the most common sign I see in stores

    • Eheran@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Where do you see such things? At a beach?

      source

      • Godric@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I’ve seen it in cities and yee-haw towns alike.

  I’m curious, and have two questions:

  1. Have you previously read/heard the phrase “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service”?
  2. If you don’t mind answering, what region do you call home?

    Elsewhere in this thread:

    Nah tbh going barefoot is pretty culturally accepted in rural Australia, as long as you're not doing it in like a restaurant or a pub.

    1) Yes, only in the aforementioned contexts
    2) asked and answered

  i’ve been accosted and kicked out of places so many times for being barefoot: grocery stores, restaurants, a bar, book shops, even a shoe store. i’ve basically been bullied by society at this point into wearing shoes whenever i go out, despite my own preferences. it’s not illegal, basically anywhere, but you’ve been quite lucky to not have gotten any shit anyways.

  • Taldan@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Those places don’t want to take liability for you potentially getting injured. Even if you would never sue a place for that, they have no guarantee of that, and US liability laws are absolutely ridiculous. I hope the US fixes the liability/lawsuit culture. So many things get killed by it

    (For the record, I’m not one of the barefoot people. I find it weird, but to each their own)

    even a shoe store

    If one did not own a pair of shoes, this seems like it would present a bit of a “chicken or egg” problem…

    • juliebean@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      yeah, that was my issue at the time, my shoes had finally completely fallen apart on me and i needed a new pair for something. they fortunately let me finish my task when i explained my predicament.

  If the store has a rule for it, you would be trespassing without shoes.

  • Walk_blesseD@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I guess where I'm from a lot of stores don't enforce any such rules they may or may not actually have 🤷‍♀️

  If you’re anywhere near a beach, I wouldn’t be surprised.

  Go a few hundred miles inland and to conservative land, and you might hit some resistance. Even if it’s not from the employee who’s not getting paid emough to give a fuck, it’ll be some old crotchety lady that needs you to know your bare feet are ruining her life.
