  • More dots, more dots. Come on more dots.

    A lot of these have been bugging me, and don't really have a central person, as several people are doing it.

    More DOTs, more DOTs, come on more DOTs

    More and more people are coming into the store barefoot. I can understand your local general one-room store, were you, say, in a farm area, but this is a store in a CITY.

    College people (oh what the heck, I won't be vague). College boys.

    It gives me the mental ". . . " and makes me wonder if they don't think about all the germs and nasty things that could be on the floor.

    Okay Stop DOTs

    Seriously, I cannot understand why people treat us like a freaking BANK! Fine, if all you have is that $100, that's okay. But try not to do it in the morning.

    If I happen to be on a morning shift, I start with 3 20s, a couple 10s, and 5s and 1s.

    Do not give me the stinkeye when I clean out the 20s, 10s, and 5s. "I wanted all 20s."

    Well, Lee, I don't HAVE all 20s.

    Run to the Center!

    Bonus, non sucky.

    I was covering a break in electronics and these guys come back asking me to get them out 2 copies of Halo. I couldn't find the keys for 10 minutes, and kept apologizing. These guys were absolute gems and were like "no, no, it's okay."

    It was near 12 midnight and they had to go to the front of the store as the electronics register was non functioning.

    So naturally they got first dibs on a register that was opening.

    It was nice to have politeness after a long day. Their politeness was rewarded, as each purchase of Halo came with a $20 giftcard. They'd have gotten it anyway, but...still.

    its always nice to have that one really really patient customer. temporarily restores my faith in humanity
    Sorry, my love cannot be bought. And if it could, you obviously don't have enough in your account to do so.

          I tend to spend as much time barefoot as I can these days and yes I'd walk into a shop barefoot. Can't be anything worse in there than what's on the pavement and roads I walked on to get to the shop...

          My (snarky) answer to people that look at me funny and ask why I'm not bothered about germs and dirt is, "I have this nifty stuff called skin...".

            well, my thought on it is one of these geniuses will step on something that will injure their foot and threaten to sue...over their own poor judgement.

            don't get me wrong; i love barefoot myself (big fan) and there's nothing better than cool, dry grass to walk on, but when it comes to stores and the like, i wear shoes, period.

            ooh, scholo on the solo!
            look! it's ghengis khan!
            Sorry, but while I can do many things, extracting heads from anuses isn't one of them. (so sayeth the irv)

              My feet are so damn tough for going barefoot all my life they don't even look human on the bottoms.

              Having said that, I would not go into a shop barefoot. I am way too disgusted by the filth of the Teeming Public to do that. Dirt, yes. Filth, no.

                I have been asked to leave a shop "for my own safety" before. Obviously they had the same thought you had there. So entitlement whores (I figure someone that sues when they chose to take the risk falls into that category) spoil it for someone like me that chooses to go barefoot and will live with the consequences of my choice.

                  Lol, now my 3 year old son keeps saying "more dots! Many whelps now handle it!" And no he's never seen/heard the video.

                  Yeah I don't get the barefoot thing either. Granted I don't like wearing shoes cause they make my feet swell and itch, but I wear them when I'm out in public. At home I'm always wearing socks, usually with slippers too. Beacuse my feet get cold. Yeah I'm weird and I wish my feet would make up thier darn mind.

                    I am all for going barefoot, I once went two years barefoot everywhere. Except I always carried a pair of Birks in my bag, in case I had to go inside somewhere. The way I saw it was not that I might get contaminated, but rather that I was running a risk of contaminating others. What business owner wants someone's nasty bare feet on their floor? Especially after walking around outside for hours, sometimes my feet would get almost black on the bottom, and if I happened to start sweating, that grossness came off, all over the floor. Plus, if I did cut my foot or something, I would get my blood everywhere, and someone would have to clean that up, and I wouldn't be cool with making someone else clean up my bodily fluids.

                    Tama, your post was pure awesomeness, by the way!

                      A little expensive, but if you just LIKE barefoot walking, get some Vibrams Fivefingers. Very good "shoes"

                        Hey, you don't have to grow up in the country to know that shoes are pure evil.

                            I love wearing sandals when the weather's warm enough, but I never go barefoot. Too many instances of me stepping on pointy and hurty plants, rocks, nails and other stuff as a kid. Plus there was the time a yellow jacket got in my shoe, and I shoved my bare foot in it to go someplace, and made maybe four steps before THE PAIN OWW THE PAIN MAKE IT STOP.

                            Instead I just wear my Birkenstocks everywhere until nobody wants to be in the same room with them. Comfiest shoes I own, plus they're easy to slip on and off if I'm visiting somebody who insists on no shoes on in their house.

                              You know it. I can climb up a cliff face barefooted. I can hike on a rocky trail barefooted.

                              I thought about getting some of those shoes, they look freaking awesome.
