[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People with no-shoes-in-the-house policies are rude if they don’t provide medical booties to slip OVER the shoe for guests who need arch support, have feet problems, etc.

[b]this is a total no brainer because hospitality is 100% and not one iota less about making your guests feel welcome and comfortable[/b].  If the first thing you do is hit me with a shoes off request without forewarning, you’ve already made me feel awkward. [/quote]

While I agree with you 100%, sadly the entitled people around here are more concerned with keeping their floors spotless. Who cares about the stinkin’ guests when the maid won’t be here til next week?!?

I don't have a maid and I'm not obsessed with keeping my floors spotless. I just think it's basic civility to take one's shoes off to not track mud onto floors or rugs. Shoes can be seriously nasty. They pick up dog poop, gum, mud, and hair. I don't see why people would want to wear shoes in their own homes, why do you feel entitled to wear them in a friend's home?

Hospitality goes both ways. You can be a thoughtful guest and not take offense at a pretty minor request. [/quote]
