They require shoes and shirts, but they never mention pants. So if I walk into a store or restaurant wearing my shirt and shoes will they serve me if I’m just wearing my BVDs without pants?
Hands are dirty becauze they are constantly touching the same things that other people’s hands touch — door handles, counters, etc. — and transferring dirt and germs from one person to another. If everyone walked around barefoot and our feet all touched the same floors, the same thing would happen and our feet would become filthy. And they’re less eazy to wash in a bathroom sink.
Notice that, most days, this strip shows people full length, so you can admire their snazzy running shoes. Some days those shoes are even the main topic of conversation. Today, however, the artwork tastefully cuts off the lower half of the bodies, so we can’t see whether anyone in particular (ahem) is practicing what he’s preaching.
I think it also has to do with basic decorum. Some business owners simply don’t want a bunch of shoeless and/or shirtless people in their establishments.

I think it’s proof that you can be coerced into behaving “well enough” to not disrupt the process.
Though it’s true that my state has requirements about those things… which just pushes the question up one level.

And what’s the deal with airline food?

I wonder if the rule is protection for the establishment. Bare feet are more vulnerable to injury, which might lead to a law suit.

Walk around barefoot for awhile and see how sanitary your feet are

In a few weeks we’ll be back to “No shoes, no shirt, no mask, no service”

Sealing feet off from germs by covering them with shoes makes them less sanitary than hands that contact more germs than any other part of our body?

This has nothing to do with health code and everything to do with dress code. https://people.howstuffworks.com/where-did-shirt-shoes-required-come.htm
