    agreed. i'd say there is about a 1% chance of a write up over this.

    well, store manager isn't really a higher up. they're the ones that generally get all the shit for the actual higher ups' fuckups.

    Yes kind of see what you mean. A friend at work reached for some shoes on a shelf in a clothes store, lost her grip on them, and they fell and hit her in the face giving her a black eye! (I couldnt help but laugh when she told me :smilielol5:).

    But instead of brushing it off, she complained to the store, with letters, saying that they were too high up or some shit, trying to get some sort of compensation..... Idiot! She was prob. on something the night before anyway, what d you expect!

    I have had the displeasure to write corporate many a time.

    Here is a form that usually results in some attention paid to the issue.
    Dear company management,
    I was attempting to shop at your store, (location, store number if you can get it) at (time, date.)
    Your employee (any ID info you have) refused service to me because I was barefoot. state law says (likely nothing) on this, and county and municipal codes say (whatever they say.)
    So, you see, I was well within my rights to be barefoot in your store.
    I do understand as a private business, you can chose to not provide service to whomever you choose, but I feel I was singled out.
    There were no signs requesting shoes, and I was ordered out of the store only after I spent (15, 20 minutes, however long it was.)
    I commonly shop at (location) and have no issues whatsoever.
    I shopped the WalMart a block away from the store that removed me and was able to purchase what I needed.
    I do hope that you have an answer for why your management treated me so shabbily and why I should take my business to your competitors.


    Or something like that.

    No not much. They did formally sympathise with her seeing as she'd taken the time to write. And they were good to her in the store when it happened -as youd expect really with any accident / near miss.

    But they made no apology for the layout of products in their store, dont see why they should tbh.

    And yet people stroll the store routinely wearing footwear that is FAR dirtier than that of someone who does not wear shoes and washes his/her feet every day. Ever pay attention to the areas of the floor up near the bottom edge of the shelving units? NASTY! Food stores are no more clean than any other retail store.

    The fact is, more nasty stuff is transferred between surfaces by our BARE HANDS than by bare feet. Especially products in retail stores, since we all handle the stuff with our hands, and not with our shoes or with our feet. And with bare feet (that have stayed bare since you last washed them) you're not carrying around bacteria and pathogens commonly found inside shoes.
