Question

Do you think bare feet are ok in a caveman themed reataurant?

Answer 1

Bare feet are okay in EVERY restaurant. Contrary to popular myth, there are NO health codes requiring footwear for customers, not in stores, restaurants or any other such places. It's not gross; unless anyone puts their feet up on the table, germs can no more fly onto the food from a bare sole any more than from the sole of a shoe, or from the bare skin on top of a totally bare foot any more than the bare skin showing in a flipflop or sandal.

Foot odor may be a problem if people came in with closed shoes and socks and took them off, but foot odor can only develop in a shoe. It's not the sweat itself you smell, but a substance made by bacteria breaking down the sweat in anaerobe circumstances (with lack of oxygen). A bare foot that has been bare does not smell at all. Also, people who're concerned about foot odor, do you believe sandals are air-tight? Yet none of the 'no bare feet' signs ever say 'closed shoes only'!

For injury/insurance concerns, this may worry some US managers (little or not in Europe because suing someone for a minor scratch or scrape is almost unheard of here, and also settlements are *much* lower, even wrongful death won't get you a million let alone a cut or bruised toe). But even in the US, insurance companies have no requirements or even recommendations for footwear for customers. Also, in most US restaurants claiming 'safety reasons' for not allowing bare feet, people are welcome wearing 6" heels or platform shoes. Safe? Don't make me laugh!

Answer 2

Of course!!!

Answer 3

This is a health codr violation and I do not think bare feet have place in any business....disgusting....

Answer 4

It'll probably improve the smell of the place.

Answer 5

Is there really a caveman themed restaurant??? What on earth do they serve? LOL!

Anyway, I'm 99% sure it's a healthcode violation, and if it's not, it's a liability. It would be too easy to step on something and get hurt and sue!

Answer 6

if it's not against health codes or the rules of the restaraunt, sure. but it's probably against health codes
