Are there regulations as to what footwear you have to wear on a supermarket deli?

I work at a tesco deli, are there health and safety regulations that say I have to wear proper shoes, I am wearing boots at the minute and trainers.

Are there regulations as to what footwear you have to wear on a supermarket deli?
Counters staff should be wearing safety shoes, go to your wages office and order some!
Reply:UK health and safety, closed toe, non slip BUT if Tesco do not supply your footwear you can wear what you want, they cannot dictate what you wear
Reply:I think you have to wear shoes with steel toe caps, in case you drop a knife! Health and safety etc.
Reply:Slip-proof/Non-skid shoes at all times.
Reply:Slip proof - they sell them at WalMart
Reply:Plain, black boots are usually the norm.

Does anyone know where I can find Steel Toe high heels???

I work in the warehouse as a safety coordinator but i am a shoe chick to my heart. So i am looking for a nice shoe with a decent heel that looks girly instead of butch

Does anyone know where I can find Steel Toe high heels???
Honestly...look for one of those stripper-esq type stores..here in Dallas we have a place called Electrique Boutique and I think I saw some there...google it they have an online store maybe you can find them there :)
Reply:eww! Why would you want to wear steel toed high heels?
Reply:Call a company that furnishes steel toe shoes for factories and see if they can custom make you a pair, they probably can.
Reply:do u mean STILLETTO? they have them at most malls.

Ban heelies?

i work in a grocery store and everyday we have kids in there running into people, knocking stuff over and hurting themselves on heelies and spinners. if skateboards and skates are banned for safety reasons in the store, shouldn%26#039;t these shoes be?

Ban heelies?
They should just put up a sign that says....%26quot;No skateboarding, roller skating, bicycalling, or heeling.%26quot; Then they should kick people out for not listening.
Reply:lol nah thats how me and my friends have our fun by triping the kids

Reply:I%26#039;m a classroom teacher at an elementary school and our principal refuses to ban them. I make the students pop the wheels out and give them to me at the start of the school day. They are a nuisance, and kids forget where they are and start skating around otherwise.


Malls would not allow skating in regular skates, so yes, there should be a ban in crowded places.
Reply:Yes
Reply:Amen. a kid (9 years old) ran into my grandmother in winn dixie, knocked her over, caused a concussion, bruised tailbone and broken arm. And still, there are kids everywhere with those on. they should be for outside only. they are dangerous!
Reply:I see no reason to pass a law banning them...this, like every other fad, will pass. The store CAN ban them if they wish, and probably should. The children%26#039;s parents are already liable for any injury/damage the children cause. Give it time.
Reply:No and yes, heelies were a great invention and still are, but things have gone wrong. The kids who use them are so stupid, thats the problem really. My Shoprite near me has banned them for the same reason you just stated. So here is my answer, if these accidents and whatnot continue to happen I%26#039;d say ban them.
Reply:yes, definitely, I can%26#039;t stand those things, they should even be banned in schools...
Reply:The heelies should not be worn in the store, unless they are not using the wheel part, and they should post this on the store window and probably you should talk to the manager abou it and he may think if is a good idea, before someone ends up getting hurt. I think you have a very good idea.

What features should I look for in a hiking shoe?

I want to buy quality hiking shoes for moderate to difficult hiking trails and I am totally lost. There so much selection of material, thread, cushion and whatnot... What features are the most important for comfort %26amp; safety? What brands should I look at? Is it a good idea to order them online?

What features should I look for in a hiking shoe?
It almost depends on what area of the country you are living/hiking in. For wet areas I recommend leather boots with Gore-tex. I hike daily for my job as a forester and boots are the most important things I own. I am a big fan of the brand Vasque, but also like Merril and Montrail. You need comfort, support, and traction. I recommend going to an outdoors store and trying on a few pairs to get the right sizing and to find a model that feels the best to you. Then if you%26#039;d like find them online, sometimes they can be found cheaper. Just for your information the best hiking sandal I have found is Chaco. I am completely in love with them.

Please help... how would you handle this?

I%26#039;m in a show that opens on Friday.





The (new) costumer doesn%26#039;t like the jazz boots I%26#039;ve worn for this show in the past and wants to give me new shoes. She has brought in a couple of Mary Jane style shoes for me to try.





This is a very active show with fights, climbing and jumping on and off a box, and just a bunch of running around. I had expressed my concerns about that style of shoe at the first rehearsal (both for safety reasons and character reasons), but to no avail.





I don%26#039;t feel safe fighting in shoes I will only have 3 rehearsals to work with them in, with shoes that are not laced or very secure, and shoes that I am not allowed to try on the actual stage and box I%26#039;ll be performing on before agreeing to use them (so the bottoms don%26#039;t get scuffed so she can return them.)





I%26#039;m starting to feel like they think I%26#039;m difficult to work with.





What would you advise?

Please help... how would you handle this?
If your costumer will not listen to you then you need to go straight to your director and tell them that you really do not feel safe in these shoes.





when it comes down to it its the directors decision
Reply:Take those Mary Janes and clop your costumer upside the head with them.





Your safety, and the safety of your fellow performers, trumps any aesthetics.





Your costumer is an egocentric moron. Be difficult, and stay safe.
Reply:QUIT
Reply:This person the costumer is not thinking this through.


Your safety is what is most important and secondly being able to preform in the shoes required.


If you can%26#039;t practice in them then that should say it all there.


Besides, once you wear them on stage they are going to get scuffed and she won%26#039;t be able to take them back anyway.


You are not being difficult.


I would go over her head.


Good luck!

The open toe shoe pledge?

Alright Ladies, it%26#039;s that time of the year again. Just a friendly reminder!! Please raise your big toes and repeat after me: (The Open Toed Shoe Pledge)...





As a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Rules when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes:





I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps.





I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe.





I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow. I will shave the hairs off my big toe.





I won%26#039;t wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there.





If a strap breaks, I won%26#039;t duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back into place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.





I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend Dr. Scholl%26#039;s if my feet need him.





I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kids%26#039; sizes. This is out of concern for my safety, and the safety of others. No one can walk properly when standing in a pool of sweat and I would hate to take someone down with me as I fall and break my ankle.





I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toes swell and begin to look like Vienna sausages.





If I have been privy to the magic that is Foot Soup, I will share that knowledge and experience with the non-initiated.





I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker when she asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her that her toes are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy feet look good.





I will promise if I wear flip flops that I will ensure that they actually flip and flop, making the correct noise while walking and I will swear NOT to slide or drag my feet while wearing them.





I will promise to go my local beauty school at least once per season and have a real pedicure (they are about $10 and worth EVERY penny).





I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signs of wear...nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals... Don%26#039;t keep this to yourself - pass it on to other sisters.
