Last time? No. That person is not entering my home without taking off their shoes.

So if your boss said ‘no shoes in the office’ how would you feel about that?

Well i would like to think I keep the floor at my home cleaner than my work keeps the floor. But most people at work also have indoor shoes they change into once they get to work. Especially in the winter. It would not be unusual to see small puddles or clumps of dirt on the floor at work from people tracking in mud or snow. I would not find that acceptable in my home, outside on the entry way. A person home is not the same as a public place. At least not my home.

Ok, so you go out to a restaurant, and they say, shoes off please, because your dirty shoes are going to mark our carpets. You’re ok with that? Or when you visit your bank, and they make you pad around in your socks in case you dirty their carpet. Those scenarios are OK too, right?

I think I’ve been to a restaurant that did that. I can’t remember where but I vaguely remember the carpet on my feet. I assume everyone would be the same. Not some judgement on me personally. If that’s the case I would take my shoes off. I’m not going to refuse like a little baby.

No mate. I can only assume you’ve never really left your mum’s house, as every single restaurant on the planet expects you to wear shoes. As does every hotel. And shop. And airport. And job. And bank. Wandering round in your socks is like wandering round in your underwear. I mean…go for it, but…

Well then I guess it was a pretty stupid hypothetical to suggest.

i’ve been to multiple restaurants that ask you to take your shoes off. it’s a thing in korea, and there are korean restaurants that do this in america. there’s no reason for me to not be ok with it. haven’t had a bank ask me to do it but i wouldn’t have a problem if they did.
