				no shirt, no shoes, no service.   why?
			 
			Obviously this is in the window of McDonalds.   But a lot of other places have it as well.   Why? Sure, seeing someone's man teats is unappealing while I eat. Not sure I understand the shoes thing? Lots of people wear flip flops or sandals. I always thought this was about "hygiene" but I'm wondering if it has more to do with people slipping on the freshly mopped tile. Anyone know? Last edited by VaSteve; 08-03-2013 at 11:16 AM.. | ||

			Sanitation/hygiene is indeed the reason. Plus it culls out unwanted types. Good policy.

			Stepping on something that could cut their foot, then sue business.  Etiquette.

			Flip-flops are okay.  "No shoes" means no bare feet. While pretty unfathomable to many today, in the small town where I was a kid, it was very common for people to be out about town barefoot all Summer long. | ||

			Ah yes, the dumbing down of America, slowly and surely. Do it your own backyard, not in a place to eat.

			Long long ago when I went to first grade in Hawaii I went to school all year with no shirt or shoes. I almost never wore a shirt or shoes.
