Well, it's been quite some time since the little mishap at that cafe, and I still never heard back from the assistant manager about it. Anyway, he did confirm at the time that they had no such policy restricting bare feet from any part of the store, and that was enough to satisfy my curiosity.
Good, at least he checked. I've noticed that a lot of people will simply assume that there's a rule somewhere (law or policy) that prohibits bare feet in stores. I'm glad to see that at least one of them will investigate and prove that assumption wrong. :cheers2:
