No Shirt, No Shoes, Yes to Service?

Despite living for almost a year in Australia, I’m still not on board with the trend of not wearing any shoes in public places including city sidewalks and streets, restaurants and malls.  Over the weekend H and I went to Woolworths to load up on groceries.  I looked up from choosing nectarines in the produce section and saw a shirtless, shoeless man in cut-off jean shorts.  He was pushing a shopping cart with one hand and intently reviewing a shopping list clutched in his other hand.  Maybe the next time his wife sends him grocery shopping, items one and two on the list should be put on shirt, put on shoes.
