[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all the shoes-off (even though you’re hosting a gathering for a large number of strangers) people: Would you be comfortable if you showed up to a restaurant and the hostess demanded you remove your shoes at the door? Why or why not?[/quote] Sure. There are traditional restaurants in Japan where you take your shoes off when you arrive. There are cubbies for everyone's shoes. [/quote] This should be obvious, but the question was not in regards to a restaurant in Japan. How about a restaurant in DC? Or Baltimore? Or Springfield, VA?[/quote] The whole point of this thread is different cultural norms. If I'm in a country where cleanliness dictates removing shoes, I'm not going to argue. Clearly Americans are riddled in filth and would not properly clean their restaurants to the same standards. Same goes for your homes. I bet you sit on furniture with your shoes. [/quote]
