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.
Yeah, using OP’s picture it cut like this, so it was likely a glass cup or bottle that someone has cracked or just how my foot managed to bend when stepping. I just walked back, poor rubbing alcohol on it, put 2 things of super glue in it and kept drinking. What else are you supposed to do in college 🤷
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. So, don’t beat yourself up too much!

It’s easy to do, especially if you have callused feet from regularly walking barefoot.
I mean, that IS kind of impressive, ngl
