4-1-2014 April Fool on me today. Went inside Jackson's Dollar General & just as I reached the fabric softener, their employee told me I needed to leave the store. Why? Because I wasn't wearing shoes.

I don't like wearing shoes & DG isn't a dining establishment.

No problem. I'll leave forever.

Now my clothes won't be soft and I had shoes in the car.

Wished I'd told her to wash her hair.

DG......please post a sign on the door what we have to wear just to spend our money in your store. There is no dress code posted. I took photos of the entrance.

There has never been a law suit from a barefoot shopper in any store anywhere. Do they think flip flops or a thin moccasin are going to protect feet.

Barefoot people are much more aware of any hazards than anyone wearing flip flops. Stores in Hawaii have many shoppers in their bare feet. No one thinks anything of it. I have never had a problem in coastal areas.

Why should location make any difference. Walmart has no dress code because they donโ€™t want to turn customers away. There are no laws against being barefoot in public. Dollar General has no idea how popular going barefoot is.

I shop at Dollar General in Fort Myers FL almost always barefoot, and I asked the manager about barefoot customers. She said they donโ€™t care at all. Smart manager. I have seen lots of barefoot customers in that store.

Why do some DG stores care and other donโ€™t. Please shop barefoot often.

It makes it more the normal. Barefoot fan

I went to dollar general where I lived and after I went through the whole store I went to put the cart away and was told I can't be in there with no shoes on so I left no sign on door. I think the reason they dont want us barefoot in the store is to see how dirty the floors are my feet was clean when i went in but when i left after being asked to my feet are now dirty. I hate shoes I don't see why I have to wear them in stores broken glass something could cut me well they should have it cleaned up or put a sign at that area with a warning .

No it is so you do not sue if you step in something, or if something falls on your foot.

Same *** happened in Haines City! I have a video of it!

There is NO signs posted ANYWHERE that says no shirt no shoes no service. My husband walked in without a shirt on to BUY a shirt and the cashier caught the worst attitude EVER and told me itโ€™s store policy yet it isnโ€™t posted anywhere and never has been!!!

What if someone walks into the sto who isn't wearing any drawers? What if they say that they got mugged and their assailants took their drawers to humiliate them.

Cain't they just pay for the new set of drawers and be on their way?

Or, what if they just got jacked for their pair of Michael Jordan shoes and they come into the sto wearing only socks? Cain't they just purchase a pair of shoes and then go on their way?

Your husband needs to put a shirt on and fight his own battles.

If it's so nasty being without shoes on, how come the security folks in the airport always make everybody take them off?

I believe they had an underwear bomber too. Should everyone boarding an airplane now be required to take off their underwear instead?

I always go commando. Do I have to drop my drawers to show the security personnel that I don't have a bomb hidden inside?

Same happened to me today, went to DG in Prattville and did not realize my grands did not have their shoes on until we got out at store. We went in and a very nice worker approached me and said that the children would need to be put in the buggy but I was welcome to continue shopping.

Thank you Andrea for being so nice about it. There really should be a sign posted on the door if that is their policy, which I certainly understand is a safety concern.

Guest

Just because it isn't a restaraunt dosen't mean you are allowed to go without shoes. It's common at any establishment that you must wear a shirt and shoes

I don't see any problem with going in a dollar store without a shirt. There's no risk of getting injured and it's not a restaurant. I've seen a guy in few different Dollar general stores without a shirt and I wasn't aware that anything was said to him about it.

No it isn't. I live in a beach community and businesses would shut down if there were such laws.

Guest

They are just protecting themselves. If you cut your foot, you'd be screaming for a lawsuit. What on earth is wrong with you?

Guest

What do you care?? ...Not your foot not your problem

Guest

Who woukd think it's appropriate to go in a public place without shoes? As a shop owner, I would ask you to leave also.

Common sense would tell you that a sign isn't needed.

Shoes should be worn in public. Also it's illegal to drive without shoes in most states.

Common sense huh? You do realize that it's healthier for you to go without shoes than to wear them...right? License Massage Therapist specializing in therapeutic pain management for over 10 years
