Really? Apart from “you must be born on or before this date to buy alcohol”, “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service” is the most common sign I see in stores

Where do you see such things? At a beach?

Illegal I haven’t seen. No Shirts, No Shoes, No Service I have seen all over though. Often times near beaches. Many gas stations and restaurants have them as well. Though I don’t see them as often

It probably makes sense for places that sell anything in glass containers (especially alcohol), because all it takes is one dumbass dropping something on the floor and someone else walking through it barefoot to have a liability lawsuit on your hands. Whereas if you put up a sign forbidding that and someone manages to sneak in anyways, you can say it was their fault for violating store policy in the first place.

One drunken night 15 years ago I remember walking barefoot into a gas station to get cigarettes and the guy behind me told me my foot was bleeding. I found out I stepped on a broken piece of glass and left a blood footprint trail for about a quarter mile. It was on the ball of my foot, so it was the ball and first three toes in blood all the way down the sidewalk back towards the house party I had walked from.
My friend told me he walked that way the next day he was really impressed at how straight of a line it was in if I was drunk enough to not notice and bleed enough to feel it. Not sure I was supposed to take pride in that.

Can’t blame you. My wife left with the kids, I stayed at home to do some work. About 5 mins later, I get a call from her, that she forgot something at home. I told her to turn around and I’d await her at the curb in front of our house with $thing. As it was summer, I just went out barefoot, walked to the street, gave it to her and went back in the house again. Only after walking around a bit in the house I noticed bloody footprints on the floor. I managed to somehow step into something outside and not feel it. I wasn’t even drunk…

Glass is sharp as hell. A sharp cut in desensitized skin is genuinely hard to notice.

But no pants is fine?

No shirt, No shoes, No Rump Shaker Coverings, No Service. I assume it just sounded better. Skirts, dresses, kilts, pants, shorts.
Quick search found this: “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service” was a response by businesses in the 1960s and 1970s to keep long-haired hippies out of stores and restaurants. There are no federal or state laws to this effect. However, there are laws that allow businesses to make their own regulations. This phrase has become an accepted norm
