Although I’m certain that your feet are as refreshing as dew on a cool summer morning and smell as though they have been kissed by angels, I’m certain you may agree that there are people whose feet may smell as though they have been pissed on by skunks trying to wash the stench of warthog farts off of them. There are those of us, although I’m not sure how many, who don’t want to sit in a booth that smells as though it has been bathed in the sweat of said feet. Imagine, if you can, the unsatisfying task of eating a meal while smelling the stench of warthog farts bathed in skunk urine wafting up from the seat. Hopefully this gives you some insight as to why the board of health, restaurants, and people in general error on the side of caution when choosing to NOT allow people to rest their weary soles on seats in a restaurant.
Just so you know, the board of health does NOT require shoes be worn. Call them and ask. I did. However, they said that it's dangerous for the people who are barefoot because they could pick up something that could have been on someone's shoe soles.
This is not a question, nor does it make any sense, grammatically speaking. This may be a clue as to why some idiotic night worker here with artificial dreadlocks threatened me for asking for a bag of ice. He hastened back into the side door after seeing me prepare to protect myself. There is, however, a much nicer Steak n Shake restaurant less than a mile East on Washington St. Where there is a very kind employee who apologized for the actions of his foul colleague and entertained us with with intelligent humor as we waited for our single bag of ice at 2:30am. Well worth the trip to avoid this disaster.
